Status of document:	This is a DCMI Note.
Description of document:	A method for recording lists of labelled values in a text string, called Dublin Core™ Structured Values, with the label DCSV, is described. The notation is intended for structured information within attribute value strings in markup-languages such as HTML and XML. This is likely to be useful in recording complex element values in metadata systems based on the qualified Dublin Core™ model.

1. Introduction

Element attributes in markup languages, such as HTML [HTML4] and XML [XML], provide an alternative position to the element content for recording data. For some "empty" elements - such as the <IMG >and <META >elements in HTML - attributes are the only place to hold data. In other cases there may be good reasons to prefer element attributes to element content for data. For example, fragments of XML can be included in the <HEAD>of a HTML document, and will be safely ignored by most client software (eg browsers) provided the elements have no content. This syntax trick can be used to embed XML-RDF encoded data safely in current versions of HTML [RDF-in-HTML].
