Dublin Core elements (1/3)

Title
The name given to the resource, usually by the Creator or
Publisher.

Author or Creator
The person or organization primarily responsible for creating
the intellectual content of the resource. For example,
authors in the case of written documents, artists,
photographers, or illustrators in the case of visual
resources.

Subject and Keywords
The topic of the resource. Typically, subject will be
expressed as keywords or phrases that describe the subject
or content of the resource. The use of controlled
vocabularies and formal classification schemas is
encouraged.

Description
A textual description of the content of the resource,
including abstracts in the case of document-like objects or
content descriptions in the case of visual resources.

Publisher
The entity responsible for making the resource available in
its present form, such as a publishing house, a university
department, or a corporate entity.

Other Contributor
A person or organization not specified in a Creator
element who has made significant intellectual
contributions to the resource but whose contribution
is secondary to any person or organization specified in
a Creator element (for example, editor, transcriber,
and illustrator).
23
Dublin Core elements (2/3)

Date
A date associated with the creation or availability of the resource.

Resource Type
The category of the resource, such as home page, novel, poem, working
paper, technical report, essay, dictionary. For the sake of interoperability,
Type should be selected from an enumerated list that is under
development in the workshop series.

Format
The data format and, optionally, dimensions (e.g., size, duration) of the
resource. The format is used to identify the software and possibly
hardware that might be needed to display or operate the resource. For the
sake of interoperability, the format should be selected from an enumerated
list that is currently under development in the workshop series.

Resource Identifier
A string or number used to uniquely identify the resource. Examples for
networked resources include URLs and URNs (when implemented). Other
globally-unique identifiers, such as International Standard Book Numbers
(ISBN) or other formal names would also be candidates for this element.
24
Dublin Core elements (3/3)

Source
Information about a second resource from which the present resource is derived.
While it is generally recommended that elements contain information about the
present resource only, this element may contain metadata for the second resource
when it is considered important for discovery of the present resource.

Language
The language of the intellectual content of the resource.

Relation
An identifier of a second resource and its relationship to the present resource. This
element is used to express linkages among related resources. For the sake of
interoperability, relationships should be selected from an enumerated list that is
currently under development in the workshop series.

Coverage
The spatial and/or temporal characteristics of the intellectual content of the resource.
Spatial coverage refers to a physical region (e.g., celestial sector) using place names
or coordinates (e.g., longitude and latitude). Temporal coverage refers to what the
resource is about rather than when it was created or made available (the latter
belonging in the Date element).

Rights Management
A rights management statement, an identifier that links to a rights management
statement, or an identifier that links to a service providing information about rights
management for the resource.
