Standards

International standard ISO 15836

DCMI has responsibility for information about:

ISO 15836:2009 Information and documentation - The Dublin Core™ metadata element set

The responsible committee is TC 46 - Information and Documentation SC 4 - Technical Interoperability.

The ISO standard has been revised based on the 2007 revision of ANSI/NISO Z39.85 (see below). One formal change is that the standard does not now have a Maintenance Agency (see Official information about ISO 15836).

ISO 15836:2009 was published on 18 February 2009 as a revision of ISO 15836:2003.

Leif Andresen is the DCMI representative to the ISO/TC46/SC4.

US national standard Z39.85

DCMI is Maintenance Agency for:

ANSI/NISO Z39.85-2007 Dublin Core™ Metadata Element Set.

Leif Andresen is the DCMI representative to the NISO.

IETF RFC5013

In August 2007, a new IETF RFC, RFC5013: The Dublin Core™ Metadata Element Set was published to replace IETF RFC2413: Dublin Core™ Metadata for Resource Discovery of September 1998.

John Kunze is the DCMI representative to the IETF Secretariat.
