Included are the fifteen terms of the Dublin Core™ Metadata Element Set (also known as &quot;the Dublin Core&quot;) plus several dozen properties, classes, datatypes, and vocabulary encoding schemes. The &quot;Dublin Core&quot; plus these extension vocabularies are collectively referred to as &quot;DCMI metadata terms&quot; (&quot;Dublin Core terms&quot; for short). These terms are intended to be used in combination with metadata terms from other, compatible vocabularies in the context of application profiles.</p> https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-namespace/ Fri, 01 Sep 2017 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-namespace/ <p><strong>Glossary:</strong></p> <p>This document follows the DCMI Abstract Model [DCAM] in its use of the following terminology:</p> <dl> <dt><em>term</em></dt> <dd>A property (element), class, vocabulary encoding scheme, or syntax encoding scheme.</dd> <dt><em>URI</em></dt> <dd>A Uniform Resource Identifier [<a href="#URI">URI</a>] or Internationalized Resource Identifier [<a href="#IRI">IRI</a>].</dd> </dl> <p>In addition, this document uses the following terminology:</p> https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dc-xml-guidelines/ Fri, 01 Sep 2017 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dc-xml-guidelines/ <h2 id="1-introduction">1.

Introduction</h2> <p>It is often desirable to encode or _serialise_simple structured data within a text string. Some generic methods are in common use. Borrowing conventions from natural languages, commas (,) and semi-colons (;) are frequently used as list separators. Similarly, comma-separated values (CSV) and tab-separated values (TSV) are common export formats from spreadsheet and database software, with _line feeds_separating rows or tuples. Dots (.) and dashes (-) are sometimes used to imply hierarchies, particularly in thesaurus applications. The eXtensible Markup Language [XML] provides a more general solution, using tags contained within angle brackets (&lt;, &gt;) to indicate structure.</p> https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-box/ Fri, 01 Sep 2017 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-box/ <h2 id="table-of-contents">Table of Contents</h2> <ul> <li> <ol> <li>Introduction</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="2"> <li>Identifying a place - the DCMI Box scheme</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="3"> <li>Encoding DCMI Box with DCSV syntax</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="4"> <li>Examples</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="5"> <li>References</li> </ol> </li> </ul> <h2 id="1-introduction"><a name="sec1"></a>1.

The primary purpose of this document is to specify the components and constructs used in Dublin Core™ metadata. It defines the nature of the components used and describes how those components are combined to create information structures. It provides an information model which is independent of any particular encoding syntax. Such an information model allows us to gain a better understanding of the kinds of descriptions that we are encoding and facilitates the development of better mappings and cross-syntax translations.</p> https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dces/ Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dces/ <div class="alert alert-warning" role="alert"> <p><b><i>Please note that this version of the specification for the Dublin Core Element Set is somewhat out of date.

It reports decisions reached by DCEd through its online discussions and face-to-face meetings in Frankfurt (October 25-27, 1999) and Melbourne (February 19-20, 2000). A <em>Report of Deliberations</em> is referenced throughout in support of the Proposal. DCEd proposes the adoption of the following: (1) two new domain-specific elements with accompanying element qualifiers for a dc-ed namespace; and (2) a new domain-specific qualifier to dc:relation for the dc-ed namespace. In addition, DCEd proposes the endorsement of three elements from the Instructional Management Systems (IMS) namespace (pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding with IEEE LTSC).</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" valign="top" colspan="2"> <hr> </td> </tr> </table> <p>This document is a Proposal from the Dublin Core™ Education Working Group [<a href="https://www.dublincore.org/groups/education/">DCEd</a>] to the Dublin Core™ Usage Committee of the Dublin Core™ Metadata Initiative [<a href="https://www.dublincore.org/">DCMI</a>].

The qualifiers listed here were identified in element-specific working groups of the Dublin Core™ Metadata Initiative ( <a href="https://www.dublincore.org/">DCMI</a>) and judged by the DCMI Usage Committee to be in conformance with principles of good practice for the qualification of Dublin Core™ metadata elements. Working groups proposed candidate qualifiers judged likely to be of widespread use (and hence to increase the likelihood of interoperability among applications) and these proposals were subsequently debated and balloted by the DCMI Usage Committee.</p>
