The Archdiocese of Seville has embarked on a major project to digitize its collection of historical architectural drawings of the Seville Cathedral, dating back to the 15th century. These drawings, depicting intricate designs, structural details, and proposed modifications over centuries, are to be made accessible to researchers worldwide. The project team, led by archivist Isabella Ruiz, recognizes the critical importance of metadata for long-term preservation, discoverability, and interoperability. Isabella is particularly concerned about choosing a metadata standard that will enable seamless data exchange with other international institutions and allow researchers to trace the evolution of the cathedral\'s design across different periods and architects. Considering the specific needs of this project, which of the following metadata standards would be MOST appropriate for describing and managing these digital architectural drawings to ensure maximum interoperability and preservation of contextual information?
