Digitization is the process of changing from analog to digital form. Manuscript digitization is the process in which rare and old manuscripts are converted to digital file formats to be shared online by users from all parts of the world. Also, digitization of manuscripts means protecting and documenting textual heritage has emerged as an essential field in recent times. The digitization activities at National Library Kuala Lumpur began around 1996 to preserve Malaysian collections and publications. However, until the middle of 2019, only 30 selected manuscripts have been digitized except the Al-Qur’ans. But, during these three years, a busy crowd was already interested in exploring al-Qur’an manuscripts. Therefore, need to develop a mechanism to preserve these fragile materials. This paper aims to develop the metadata for the specific structure, motif, and pattern decorated in the Qur’ans. The focus is on the Qur’an from the National Library Kuala Lumpur Malaysia collection. The research will be conducted with the codicology method and art history approach, focusing on ornament styling characters. Hopefully, this model will provide guidance and understanding about the physical description of the manuscript and also improve and include preserving the vocabularies of ornament and design from the Malay and archipelago world. With the advancement of information technology, digitization promises documentation and preservation of original texts, facilitating, at the same time, greater access for scholars and researchers.
