Studies in Information Organization and Representation have been redefined over the years in search of a guarantee of information retrieval and access especially due to the diversity present in cultural heritage institutions. Such diversity can be characterized by search behavior, retrieval mode and access to information, (re)configuration of informational production and adopted technologies. In this way, concepts, models, standards and formats of information organization and representation have also been discussed. This research is part of this universe and seeks to discuss the purposes of MARC21 Format and BIBFRAME as standards of information representation in digital information environments. The discussions involve, as a background, the expansion of the universe of information search and retrieval by communities as well as metadata use and reuse by technological parks; both relate to the availability of information by cultural heritage units on the web through the description of resources. In order to meet the proposed objective, the research presents a qualitative approach, of an applied nature, with a descriptive and exploratory profile. At the same time, it uses bibliographical and documentary research. Because this is a recent theme, this paper intends to serve as a social and theoretical contribution for future research on this topic.
