How to use DCMI Metadata as linked data
About the linked data examples[edit]
To present these examples in a concise form we use the Turtle syntax for RDF. The examples therefore appear in code lines such as:
@prefix ex: <http://www.example.com/>. ex:aResource ex:aProperty "An RDF Literal" .
or
@prefix ex: <http://www.example.com/>. ex:aResource ex:aProperty ex:anotherResource . ex:anotherProperty "An RDF Literal"@en .
Within the examples we use different namespaces. The following prefixes are used to specify the namespaces we use for our examples:
For the Dublin Core namespaces we use:
- @prefix dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> (DCMI legacy namespace used for the 15 core properties)
- @prefix dcterms: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/> (DCMI terms namespace of the DCMI terms - properties, classes and datatypes)
- @prefix dctype: <http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/> (DCMI type namespace of the DCMI classes of types)
Further namespaces used are:
- @prefix ex: http://www.example.org/ (an exemplary namespace)
- @prefix xsd: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema# (namespace of the XML Schema language)
- @prefix rdf: http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns# (namespace of the rdf vocabulary)
- @prefix rdfs: http://www.w3schools.com/RDF/rdf-schema.xml (namespace of the rdf schema vocabulary)
- @prefix foaf: http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/ (namespace of the "Friend of a Friend" vocabulary)
- @prefix gnd: http://d-nb.info/gnd/ (namespace of the authority files of the German National Library)
- @prefix mime: http://purl.org/NET/mediatypes/ (namespace for MIME media types vocabulary)
- @prefix skos: http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core# (namespace of the SKOS vocabulary)
Properties of the terms namespace[edit]
The main difference between the legacy namespace and the terms namespace is the definition of domains and ranges for most terms of the last. The definition of a domain governs the entities for which a property may be used. The definition of a range governs the usage of literal and non-literal values in context with a property.
Properties of the terms namespace used only with literal values[edit]
