Original version by Martin.
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
See also Dublin Core Metadata Element Set.
Standard reference types[edit]
DCMI suggests the use of the DCMI Type Vocabulary (http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-type-vocabulary/), containing the following reference types:
- Collection
- Dataset
- Event
- Image
- InteractiveResource
- MovingImage
- PhysicalObject
- Service
- Software
- Sound
- StillImage
- Text
Note that some of those form a hierarchical relationship (e.g. MovingImage is a narrower term of Image).

Mapping eSciDoc Metadata Set for Publications to Dublin Core (for DC Export)[edit]
Mapping of Genres[edit]
Please note that, additionally, the original eSciDoc Genre is also mapped to dc:type (in accordance with DC guidelines).
| eSciDoc | DC | Comment/Condition(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Article | Text | - |
| Book | Text | - |
| Book Item | Text | - |
| Proceedings | Text | - |
| Conference Paper | Text | - |
| Talk at Event | - | Unfortunately, it is impossible to determine whether Text, (Moving)Image, or Sound should be used. |
| Conference Report | Text | - |
| Poster | Image | Alternatively, use the narrower term StillImage. |
| Courseware/Lecture | - | Impossible to determine which Type should be used. |
| Thesis | Text | - |
| Paper | Text | - |
| Report | Text | - |
| Journal | Text | - |
| Issue | Text | - |
| Series | Collection | Text cannot be used because the Series could be a series of non-Text items (e.g. series of recorded talks). |
| Manuscript | Text | - |
| Other | - | - |
Mapping of eSciDoc Standard Entries[edit]
| eSciDoc | DC | Comment/Condition(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Genre | dc:type | Additionally, Genres are mapped to DCMI Type Vocabulary terms (see table above). |
| 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 | - |
| Identifier.IdType | - | Unfortunately, some ID types are hard to recognize without their explicit Id.Type information (e.g. PMID), but qualifiers are only supported in Qualified Dublin Core. |
| PublishingInfo.Publisher | dc:publisher | - |
| PublishingInfo.Place | - | Could be used in a citation - maybe as OpenURL? - in dc:identifier (similar to Source identifiers, see below, see also http://dublincore.org/documents/dc-citation-guidelines/). |
| PublishingInfo.Edition | dc:relation | Since the qualifier hasVersion cannot be used in Simple Dublin Core, it might be useful to add the prefix "Edition: ". |
| 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:identifier | 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/ |
| Source.AlternativeTitle | - | - |
| Source.Creator.CreatorType | - | - |
| Source.Creator.CreatorRole | - | - |
| Source.Creator.Person.CompleteName | dc:identifier | together with other Source data (see above). Map only if Source.Genre = Book, Proceedings, Issue, or Other. |
| Source.Creator.Person.GivenName | dc:identifier | if there is no Source.Creator.Person.CompleteName. See above. |
| Source.Creator.Person.FamilyName | dc:identifier | if there is no Source.Creator.Person.CompleteName. See above. |
| Source.Creator.Person.AlternativeName | - | - |
| Source.Creator.Person.Title | - | - |
| Source.Creator.Person.Organization | - | - |
| Source.Creator.Person.Identifier | - | - |
| Source.Creator.Organization.Name | dc:identifier | 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:identifier | together with other Source data (see above). |
| Source.Issue | dc:identifier | together with other Source data (see above). |
| Source.StartPage | dc:identifier | together with other Source data (see above). |
| Source.EndPage | dc:identifier | together with other Source data (see above). |
| Source.SequenceNumber | - | - |
| Source.PublishingInfo.Publisher | dc:identifier | together with other Source data (see above). If Source.Genre = Journal or Series, ignore Source.PublishingInfo.Publisher instead. |
| Source.PublishingInfo.Place | dc:identifier | together with other Source data (see above). If Source.Genre = Journal or Series, ignore Source.PublishingInfo.Place instead. |
| Source.PublishingInfo.Edition | dc:identifier | 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.) |
| TotalNumberOfPages | dc:format | add suffix " pages". |
| Degree | - | - |
| Abstract | dc:description | - |
| Subject | dc:subject | Map each keyword to a dc:subject field of its own. Dublin Core also allows using a single dc:subject field and delimiters to separate the keywords, but it will probably be easier to use multiple fields once the changes to the Subject field (Talk:PubMan_Metadata_Sets#Subject_once) are implemented. |
| TableOfContents | dc:description | - |
