9、 not part of The Dublin Core Metadata Element Set, ANSI/NISO Z39.85-2007. It is included for information only.) About This Standard The Dublin Core Metadata Element Set is a vocabulary of fifteen properties for use in resource description. The name “Dublin“ is due to its origin at a 1995 invitationa

10、l workshop in Dublin, Ohio; “core“ because its elements are broad and generic, usable for describing a wide range of resources. The fifteen element “Dublin Core“ described in this standard is part of a larger set of metadata vocabularies and technical specifications maintained by the Dublin Core Met

11、adata Initiative (DCMI). The full set of vocabularies, DCMI Metadata Terms DCMI-TERMS, also includes a set of resource classes, the DCMI Type Vocabulary DCMI-TYPE. The terms in DCMI vocabularies are intended to be used in combination with terms from other, compatible vocabularies in the context of a

12、pplication profiles and on the basis of the DCMI Abstract Model DCAM. In 2006, the DCMI Usage Board undertook an editorial review of terms in the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES) in order to clarify intended semantics and bring the wording of their definitions and usage comments into line wi

13、th the language of the DCMI Abstract Model DCAM. A set of proposed changes was posted for Public Comment from August 28 to September 25, 2006. A face-to-face Usage Board meeting in Manzanillo, Mexico, on September 30, 2006 resulted in the publication on December 18, 2006 of a decision text, a respon

14、se to comments, and revised terms documentation. This revision of the original standard that was issued in 2001 corresponds to version 1.1 on the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative website that resulted from the editorial review and public comment period described above. All changes made to terms of th

15、e Dublin Core Metadata Element Set since 2001 have been reviewed by a DCMI Usage Board in the context of a DCMI Namespace Policy DCMI-NAMESPACE. The namespace policy describes how DCMI terms are assigned Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) and sets limits on the range of editorial changes that may a

16、llowably be made to the labels, definitions, and usage comments associated with existing DCMI terms.

As i

36、n Internet RFC 3986, Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax, this specification does not limit the scope of what might be a resource. The elements described in this standard are typically used in the context of an application profile which constrains or specifies their use in accordance w

37、ith local or community-based requirements and policies. The specification of such implementation detail is outside the scope of this standard. 2 References This standard references the following documents.

Term Definition DCMI the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, maintenance agency for the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set Lifecycle of a resource a sequence of events that mark the development and use of a resource Some examples of events i

42、n a lifecycle are: conception of an invention, creation of a draft, revision of an article, publication of a book, acquisition by a library, transcription to magnetic disk, migration to optical storage, translation into English, and derivation of a new work (e.g., a movie). Resource anything that mi

In accordance with the D

44、CMI Namespace Policy DCMI-NAMESPACE, the “name“ of an element is appended to a DCMI namespace URI to construct a Uniform Resource Identifier as a globally unique identifier for that element.

45、I Encoding Guidelines DCMI-ENCODINGS. 5 The Elements Element Name: title Label: Title Definition: A name given to the resource. Element Name: creator Label: Creator Definition: An entity primarily responsible for making the resource. Comment: Examples of a Creator include a person, an organization,

46、or a service. Typically, the name of a Creator should be used to indicate the entity. ANSI/NISO Z39.85-2007 2007 NISO 3 Element Name: subject Label: Subject Definition: The topic of the resource. Comment: Typically, the subject will be represented using keywords, key phrases, or classification codes

47、. Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary. To describe the spatial or temporal topic of the resource, use the Coverage element. Element Name: description Label: Description Definition: An account of the resource. Comment: Description may include but is not limited to: an abstract

48、, a table of contents, a graphical representation, or a free-text account of the resource. Element Name: publisher Label: Publisher Definition: An entity responsible for making the resource available. Comment: Examples of a Publisher include a person, an organization, or a service. Typically, the na

49、me of a Publisher should be used to indicate the entity. Element Name: contributor Label: Contributor Definition: An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource. Comment: Examples of a Contributor include a person, an organization, or a service. Typically, the name of a Contributor should be used to indicate the entity. Element Name: date Label: Date Definition: A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource. Comment: Date may be used to express temporal information at any lev
