PubMan Func Spec Dublin Core Mapping

=Dublin Core= This mapping uses Simple/unqualified Dublin Core.

Dublin Core elements
The following elements are specified in the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES) version 1.1 (http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/). The order of the elements is arbitrary (alphabetical in this list), but a meaningful order can be implemented locally.


 * contributor
 * coverage
 * creator
 * date
 * description
 * format
 * identifier
 * language
 * publisher
 * relation
 * rights
 * source

Problems

 * Usage of the dcterms and dcmitype namespaces (not dc namespace)
 * Sorry, I don't see the problem here. http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/ says: "Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the DCMI Type Vocabulary [DCMITYPE].", so why shouldn't they be used? --Martin de la Iglesia 09:27, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Please, revise dc:source creation. It is not clear, whether the mapping assumes creation of the separate dc:source elements per each mapped item above or the items should be somehow concatenated and put in one dc:source.
 * By "together with", we mean the items are concatenated and written into a single dc:source field. --Martin de la Iglesia 09:23, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Not clear how to handle source and details metadata to be included into dcterms:bibliographicCitation
 * After a long discussion, we decided not to use this field and to put the metadata into dc:source instead. --Martin de la Iglesia 09:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
