PubMan Func Spec Dublin Core Mapping
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).
