]> Publisher or author(s) main geographical location, whichever is more relevant Level of evidence (official guideline, systematic review, RCT, other peer-reviewed studies, official CAT, expert opinion), recognised code of ethics or quality seal, Trusted Publisher or Listed in Trusted Directory, e.g., OMNI, or unspecified" The DCMI Box encoding scheme is a method for identifying a region of space using its geographic limits. A collection is an aggregation of items. The term collection means that the resource is described as a group; its parts may be separately described and navigated. The DCMI Type Vocabulary provides a general, cross-domain list of approved terms that may be used as values for the Resource Type element to identify the genre of a resource. DCMI DCSV (Dublin Core Structured Values) describe a method for recording lists of labelled values in a text string. Instances of this class must have an rdf:value arc ending at a literal with content the DCSV encoding. Instances of this class are Dewey Decimal Classifications and must provide an rdf:value (with content the code) and should provide an rdfs:label arc (with content the caption). A dataset is information encoded in a defined structure (for example, lists, tables, and databases), intended to be useful for direct machine processing. 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. ISO 639-2: Codes for the representation of names of languages. An image is a primarily symbolic visual representation other than text. For example - images and photographs of physical objects, paintings, prints, drawings, other images and graphics, animations and moving pictures, film, diagrams, maps, musical notation. Note that image may include both electronic and physical representations. An interactive resource is a resource which requires interaction from the user to be understood, executed, or experienced. For example - forms on web pages, applets, multimedia learning objects, chat services, virtual reality. Instances of this class are Library of Congress Classifications and must provide an rdf:value (with content the code) and should provide an rdfs:label arc (with content the caption). Instances of this class are Library of Congress Subject Headings and must provide an rdf:value (with content the code) and should provide an rdfs:label arc (with content the caption). Instances of this class are Medical Subject Headings and must provide an rdf:value (with content the code) and should provide an rdfs:label arc (with content the caption). Medical Subject Headings DCMI Point is used for identifying a point in space using its geographic coordinates Sub-classes to be defined in details: Level of evidence (official guideline, systematic review, RCT, other peer-reviewed studies, official CAT, expert opinion), recognised code of ethics or quality seal, Trusted Publisher or Listed in Trusted Directory, e.g., OMNI, or unspecified. Internet RFC 1766 'Tags for the identification of Language' specifies a two letter code taken from ISO 639, followed optionally by a two letter country code taken from ISO 3166. A resource is defined in [RFC2396] as "anything that has identity". For the purposes of Dublin Core metadata, a resource will typically be an information or service resource, but may be applied more broadly. A service is a system that provides one or more functions of value to the end-user. Examples include: a photocopying service, a banking service, an authentication service, interlibrary loans, a Z39.50 or Web server. Software is a computer program in source or compiled form which may be available for installation non-transiently on another machine. For software which exists only to create an interactive environment, use interactive instead. A sound is a resource whose content is primarily intended to be rendered as audio. For example - a music playback file format, an audio compact disc, and recorded speech or sounds. A set of subject encoding schemes and/or formats A text is a resource whose content is primarily words for reading. 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. Instances of this class are Universal Decimal Classifications and must provide an rdf:value (with content the code) and should provide an rdfs:label arc (with content the caption). Instances of this class are dates and times encoded with the W3C Encoding rules - a profile based on ISO8601 A summary of the content of the resource. Any form of the title used as a substitute or alternative to the formal title of the resource. Date (often a range) that the resource will become or did become available. Publisher or author(s) main country, whichever is more relevant The described resource pre-existed the referenced resource, which is essentially the same intellectual content presented in another format. The described resource includes the referenced resource either physically or logically. The described resource has a version, edition, or adaptation, namely, the referenced resource. The described resource is the same intellectual content of the referenced resource, but presented in another format. The described resource is a physical or logical part of the referenced resource. The described resource is referenced, cited, or otherwise pointed to by the referenced resource. The described resource is supplanted, displaced, or superceded by the referenced resource. The described resource is required by the referenced resource, either physically or logically. The described resource is a version, edition, or adaptation of the referenced resource. Changes in version imply substantive changes in content rather than differences in format. The described resource references, cites, or otherwise points to the referenced resource. The described resource supplants, displaces, or supersedes the referenced resource. The described resource requires the referenced resource to support its function, delivery, or coherence of content. Spatial characteristics of the intellectual content of the resoure. Temporal characteristics of the intellectual content of the resource. An entity responsible for making contributions to the content of the resource. Comment: Examples of a Contributor include a person, an organisation, or a service. Typically, the name of a Contributor should be used to indicate the entity. The extent or scope of the content of the resource. Comment: 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. An entity primarily responsible for making the content of the resource. Comment: 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. A date associated with an event in the life cycle of the resource. Comment: 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. An account of the content of the resource. Comment: 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. The physical or digital manifestation of the resource. Comment: 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). An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context. Comment: 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). A language of the intellectual content of the resource. Comment: Recommended best practice for the values of the Language element is defined by RFC 1766 [RFC1766] which includes a two-letter Language Code (taken from the ISO 639 standard [ISO639]), followed optionally, by a two-letter Country Code (taken from the ISO 3166 standard [ISO3166]). For example, 'en' for English, 'fr' for French, or 'en-uk' for English used in the United Kingdom. An entity responsible for making the resource available. Comment: 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. A reference to a related resource. Comment: Recommended best practice is to reference the resource by means of a string or number conforming to a formal identification system. Information about rights held in and over the resource. Comment: 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. A Reference to a resource from which the present resource is derived. Comment: 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. The topic of the content of the resource. Comment: 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. A name given to the resource. Comment: Typically, a Title will be a name by which the resource is formally known. The nature or genre of the content of the resource. Comment: 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 working draft list of Dublin Core Types [DCT1]). To describe the physical or digital manifestation of the resource, use the FORMAT element.
