Descriptive representation has changed the conventional models of bibliographic description because of Information and Communication Technologies, demanding different approaches of information resources. There is a strong tendency to offer digital content and a lack of use of proper standards to represent and describe these information resources in digital environments. The MarcOnt initiative emerged from Semantic Web as a standard of bibliographic semantics in order to represent and describe information resources for the semantic interpretation by the machines. This study seeks to demonstrate the application of the MarcOnt tool in a specific information environment - JeromeDL Semantic Digital Library - in order to review according to the foundations of the Cataloging the forms of representing information resources. Through the literature review, this research aims at identifying and characterizing the usage and application of MarcOnt as a tool that builds forms of representing information for digital libraries and the Web. MarcOnt presents itself as an initiative for the new models to share information resources, developing comprehensive and complex bibliographic description, following its natural course under the auspices of the Cataloging.
