The Dublin Core Element Set v1.1 namespace provides URIs for the Dublin Core Elements v1.1. Entries are declared using OWL language to support OWL applications. The Dublin Core Terms namespace provides URIs for the Dublin Core Element Set Qualifier Vocabulary. Vocabulary terms are declared using RDF Schema language to support RDF applications. The Dublin Core qualifiers form a richer vocabulary, which is intended to facilitate discovery of resources. It will be updated according to dc-usage decisions. The Dublin Core Types namespace provides URIs for the entries of the DCMI Type Vocabulary. Entries are declared using RDF Schema language to support RDF applications. The Schema will be updated according to dc-usage decisions.

Typically, the name of a Contributor should be used to indicate the entity. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 An entity responsible for making contributions to the content of the resource. Contributor Coverage will typically include spatial location (a place name or geographic coordinates), temporal period (a period label, date, or date range) or jurisdiction (such as a named administrative entity). Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary (for example, the Thesaurus of Geographic Names [TGN]) and that, where appropriate, named places or time periods be used in preference to numeric identifiers such as sets of coordinates or date ranges. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 The extent or scope of the content of the resource. Coverage Examples of a Creator include a person, an organisation, or a service. Typically, the name of a Creator should be used to indicate the entity. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 An entity primarily responsible for making the content of the resource. Creator Typically, Date will be associated with the creation or availability of the resource. Recommended best practice for encoding the date value is defined in a profile of ISO 8601 [W3CDTF] and follows the YYYY-MM-DD format. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 A date associated with an event in the life cycle of the resource. Date Description may include but is not limited to: an abstract, table of contents, reference to a graphical representation of content or a free-text account of the content. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 An account of the content of the resource. Description Typically, Format may include the media-type or dimensions of the resource. Format may be used to determine the software, hardware or other equipment needed to display or operate the resource. Examples of dimensions include size and duration. Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary (for example, the list of Internet Media Types [MIME] defining computer media formats). 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 The physical or digital manifestation of the resource. Format Recommended best practice is to identify the resource by means of a string or number conforming to a formal identification system. Example formal identification systems include the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) (including the Uniform Resource Locator (URL)), the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and the International Standard Book Number (ISBN). 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context. Resource Identifier Recommended best practice is to use RFC 3066 [RFC3066], which, in conjunction with ISO 639 [ISO639], defines two- and three-letter primary language tags with optional subtags. Examples include "en" or "eng" for English, "akk" for Akkadian, and "en-GB" for English used in the United Kingdom. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 A language of the intellectual content of the resource. Language Examples of a Publisher include a person, an organisation, or a service. Typically, the name of a Publisher should be used to indicate the entity. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 An entity responsible for making the resource available Publisher Recommended best practice is to reference the resource by means of a string or number conforming to a formal identification system. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 A reference to a related resource. Relation Typically, a Rights element will contain a rights management statement for the resource, or reference a service providing such information. Rights information often encompasses Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), Copyright, and various Property Rights. If the Rights element is absent, no assumptions can be made about the status of these and other rights with respect to the resource. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 Information about rights held in and over the resource. Rights Management The present resource may be derived from the Source resource in whole or in part. Recommended best practice is to reference the resource by means of a string or number conforming to a formal identification system. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 A reference to a resource from which the present resource is derived. Source Typically, a Subject will be expressed as keywords, key phrases or classification codes that describe a topic of the resource. Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary or formal classification scheme. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 The topic of the content of the resource. Subject and Keywords Typically, a Title will be a name by which the resource is formally known. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 A name given to the resource. Title Type includes terms describing general categories, functions, genres, or aggregation levels for content. Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary (for example, the DCMI Type Vocabulary [DCMITYPE]). To describe the physical or digital manifestation of the resource, use the Format element. 1999-07-02 2002-10-04 The nature or genre of the content of the resource. Resource Type 2000-07-11 2002-06-15 A summary of the content of the resource. Abstract Access Rights may include information regarding access or restrictions based on privacy, security or other regulations. 2003-02-15 Information about who can access the resource or an indication of its security status.

Alternative A class of entity may be determined by the creator or the publisher or by a third party. 2001-05-21 2002-06-15 A class of entity for whom the resource is intended or useful. Audience 2000-07-11 2002-06-15 Date (often a range) that the resource will become or did become available.

The mediator element refinement represents the second of these two classes. 2001-05-21 2002-07-13 A class of entity that mediates access to the resource and for whom the resource is intended or useful.

Dataset 2000-07-11 An event is a non-persistent, time-based occurrence. Metadata for an event provides descriptive information that is the basis for discovery of the purpose, location, duration, responsible agents, and links to related events and resources. The resource of type event may not be retrievable if the described instantiation has expired or is yet to occur. Examples - exhibition, web-cast, conference, workshop, open-day, performance, battle, trial, wedding, tea-party, conflagration. Event 2000-07-11 An image is a primarily symbolic visual representation other than text.

For example - books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre text.

RFC 1766 2002-07-13 Internet RFC 3066 'Tags for the Identification of Languages' specifies a primary subtag which is a two-letter code taken from ISO 639 part 1 or a three-letter code taken from ISO 639 part 2, followed optionally by a two-letter country code taken from ISO 3166. When a language in ISO 639 has both a two-letter and three-letter code, use the two-letter code; when it has only a three-letter code, use the three-letter code. This RFC replaces RFC 1766.
