Dublin Core[edit]
This mapping uses Simple/unqualified Dublin Core.
Dublin Core elements[edit]
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
- subject
- title
- type

Mapping of eSciDoc Standard Entries[edit]
| eSciDoc | DC | Comment/Condition(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Genre | dc:type | in addition create 2nd dc:type with DCMI Type = Text (to be discussed with Traugott Koch or KIM --Makarenko 15:07, 4 June 2009 (UTC): DCMI Type has own namespace, can it be used in the mapping? |
| Creator.CreatorType | - | - |
| Creator.CreatorRole | - | determines whether the Creator is mapped to dc:contributor or to dc:creator (see below). |
| Creator.Person.CompleteName | dc:creator | if Creator.CreatorRole = Author. Otherwise, if Creator.CreatorRole is Advisor, Contributor, Transcriber, Translator, or Honoree, map Creator.Person.CompleteName to dc:contributor. For other Creator.CreatorRoles, map Creator.Person.CompleteName to dc:creator if there is no Creator.CreatorRole = Author, or map to dc:contributor if there is already a Creator.CreatorRole = Author. |
| Creator.Person.GivenName | dc:creator | if there's no CompleteName. See above |
| Creator.Person.FamilyName | dc:creator | if there's no CompleteName. See above |
| Creator.Person.AlternativeName | - | - |
| Creator.Person.Title | - | - |
| Creator.Person.Organization.Name | dc:contributor | - |
| Creator.Person.Organization.Address | - | - |
| Creator.Person.Organization.Identifier | - | - |
| Creator.Person.Identifier | - | - |
| Creator.Organization.Name | dc:creator | if Creator.CreatorRole = Author. Otherwise, if Creator.CreatorRole is Advisor, Contributor, Transcriber, Translator, or Honoree, map Creator.Organization.Name to dc:contributor. For other Creator.CreatorRoles, map Creator.Organization.Name to dc:creator if there is no Creator.CreatorRole = Author, or map to dc:contributor if there is already a Creator.CreatorRole = Author. |
| Creator.Organization.Address | - | - |
| Creator.Organization.Identifier | - | - |
| Title | dc:title | - |
| Language | dc:language | ISO 639 is also proposed by DCMI, so no transformation is necessary. |
| AlternativeTitle | dc:title | It should be made clear by the order of the dc:title fields which is the main title and which is the alternative title (e.g. 1st dc:title = main title, 2nd dc:title = alternative title). |
| Identifier.Id | dc:identifier | please write value of Identifier.IdType: value of Identifier.Id, e.g. ISBN: 3-454-567-X; to be discussed with Traugott Koch or KIM |
| Identifier.IdType | dc:identifier | see above |
| PublishingInfo.Publisher | dc:publisher | - |
| PublishingInfo.Place | dc:source | will be included into the bibliographic citation (dc:source), the topic "dc:source" is in general to be discussed with Traugott/KIM --Makarenko 15:07, 4 June 2009 (UTC): Not clear, it means that citationmanager should be called for citation creation? |
| PublishingInfo.Edition | dc:source | will be included into the bibliographic citation (dc:source) |
| Date.Date | dc:date | ISO 8601 is also proposed by DCMI, so no transformation is necessary. Since no qualifiers are used to express the Date.DateType, only the first Date.Date according to PubMan_Func_Spec_OpenURL_Mapping is mapped to dc:date and all others are ignored. |
| Date.DateType | - | is used to determine which Date.Date is mapped to dc:date (see above). |
| ReviewMethod | - | |
| Source.Genre | - | - |
| Source.Title | dc:source | together with other Source information (see below). DCMI suggests dcterms:bibliographicCitation for this kind of data, which is a Qualified Dublin Core refinement of dc:identifier. Additionally, Source information may be stored in dc:identifier in OpenURL format. See http://dublincore.org/documents/dc-citation-guidelines/ --Makarenko 15:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC): dcterms has own namespace different from dc, can it be used in the mapping? |
| Source.AlternativeTitle | - | - |
| Source.Creator.CreatorType | - | - |
| Source.Creator.CreatorRole | - | - |
| Source.Creator.Person.CompleteName | dc:source | together with other Source data (see above). Map only if Source.Genre = Book, Proceedings, Issue, or Other. |
| Source.Creator.Person.GivenName | dc:source | if there is no Source.Creator.Person.CompleteName. See above. |
| Source.Creator.Person.FamilyName | dc:source | if there is no Source.Creator.Person.CompleteName. See above. |

| Source.Creator.Person.Title | - | - |
| Source.Creator.Person.Organization | - | - |
| Source.Creator.Person.Identifier | - | - |
| Source.Creator.Organization.Name | dc:source | together with other Source data (see above). Map only if Source.Genre = Book, Proceedings, Issue, or Other. |
| Source.Creator.Organization.Address | - | - |
| Source.Creator.Organization.Identifier | - | - |
| Source.Volume | dc:source | together with other Source data (see above). |
| Source.Issue | dc:source | together with other Source data (see above). |
| Source.StartPage | dc:format | |
| Source.EndPage | dc:format | |
| Source.SequenceNumber | - | - |
| Source.PublishingInfo.Publisher | dc:source | together with other Source data (see above). If Source.Genre = Journal or Series, ignore Source.PublishingInfo.Publisher instead. |
| Source.PublishingInfo.Place | dc:source | together with other Source data (see above). If Source.Genre = Journal or Series, ignore Source.PublishingInfo.Place instead. |
| Source.PublishingInfo.Edition | dc:source | together with other Source data (see above). If Source.Genre = Journal or Series, ignore Source.PublishingInfo.Edition instead. |
| Source.Identifier.Id | - | - |
| Source.Identifier.IdType | - | - |
| 2nd Source | - | - |
| Event | dc:relation | export all Event.* fields to a single dc:relation field and separate the values with a comma. (In Qualified Dublin Core, the refinement would be dcterms:isPartOf.) Event.Title, Event.Place, Event.StartDate - Event.EndDate. |
| TotalNumberOfPages | dc:format | |

| Abstract | dc:description | - |
| Subject | dc:subject | - |

Problems[edit]
- 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)
