'''How to create content for DCMI Metadata'''
 
 
 
= About the examples =
 
We are presenting the examples in tables. To interpret these tables please consider that:
 
* '''yellow rows''' are standing for statements describing a resource,
* '''white rows''' are standing for statements describing a resource that is the value of another statement but is not described by another record,
* '''bold''' strings are standing for properties,
* '''italicized''' strings are standing for values,
* '''red strings''' are standing for values linking to records.
 
example (see turtle explanation)
 
= Titles =
 
== Title ==
 
Title is a property that refers to the name or names by which a resource is formally known.
 
== Alternative ==
 
Alternative is a property that refers to a name or names of a resource used as a substitute or alternative to the formal title. These are secondary titles, abbreviations, translations of a title, etc.
 
== Guidelines for the creation of title content ==
 
For the title use the name given to the resource.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''Alvar Aalto Chair No. 66''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exTit3|as linked data]]
 
In most databases title is one of the main criteria to identify search results. So '''if there is no formal title resp. name''' you should formulate an adequate one by yourself.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''Data from a survey about the usage of metadata''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exTit6|as linked data]]
 
If there is '''more than one title resp. name''' you should repeat the title property
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''Autumn Leaves''
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''The Dead Leaves''
|-
|}
 
[[PublishingMetadata#exTit4|as linked data]]
 
or use the alternative property.
 
Typically alternative is used for '''secondary titles''',
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''Passion for Pulses''
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''alternative'''
| ''A Feast of Beans, Peas and Lentils from Around the World''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exAlt1|as linked data]]
 
or for '''abbreviations'''.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''American Meteorological Association Newsletter''
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''alternative'''
| ''AMA Newsletter''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exAlt2|as linked data]]
 
If the title resp. name is expressed in '''different languages''' you should use language tags.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''La Joconde''
| fre
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;

| ''Mona Lisa''
| eng
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''La Gioconda''
| ita
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exTit5|as linked data]]
 
the same is true for alternative
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''EU Stability Programm of Belgium''
| eng
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;

[[PublishingMetadata#exAlt3|as linked data]]
 
It is recommended to describe titles with plain text (as done in the examples above). But sometimes it is necessary to '''create a relationship between the described resource and a more detailed title description'''.
 
This should be used to refer to '''a title with different transliterations''',
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;

or to refer to a '''title authority'''.

= Relationships between Resource and Agents =
 
== Using agent properties in Dublin Core==
 
Persons, organizations and services can relate to resources in various ways. DCMI defined only a few common properties to describe the relationship between resources and agents. So when necessary other vocabularies should be used describing these relationships more detailed. In these cases we recommend to use the [http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators.html marcrelator codes]. How to use them is described in
 
* [http://dublincore.org/usage/documents/relators/ MARC Relator terms and Dublin Core]
* [http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/marcrel-ex/ MARC Relator properties in Dublin Core metadata]
 
== Contributor ==
 
The contributor property represents a relationship between the resource and a person, an organization, or a service making a contribution to a resource.
 
== Creator ==
 
The creator property represents a relationship between the resource and a person, an organization, or a service primarily responsible for making the content of a resource.
 
== Publisher ==
 
The publisher property represents a relationship between the resource and a person, an organization, or a service responsible for making the resource available and provide access to the resource.
 
== RightsHolder ==
 
This property represents a relationship between the resource and a person or an organization owning or managing rights over this resource.
 
== Guidelines for the creation of content for agents ==
 
If you know there is a '''URI standing for a person or organization''' you should use it. For further information you should handle the person or organization like another resource.
 
Example with an '''organization''':
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''rights holder'''
| gnd
| ''39454-3''
|-
|
| '''name'''
| ''Bundesarchiv Koblenz''
|-
|
| '''homepage'''
| ''http://www.bundesarchiv.de/index.html.de''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exrih1|as linked data]]
 
Example with a '''person''':
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''contributor'''
| gnd
| ''135066719''
|-
|
| '''family name'''
| ''Elliott''
|-
|
| '''given name'''
| ''Missy''
|-
|
| '''nick name'''
| ''Missy E ''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exCon1|as linked data]]
 
Regardless of the existence of a URI '''personal names''' should be grouped in family name resp. surname as one part of the name and forename resp. given name as the other part .
 
You should handle the person name like '''another resource''',
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''creator'''
|
|
|-
|
| '''family name'''
| ''Shakespeare''
|-
|
| '''given name'''
| ''William''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exCre1|as linked data]]
 
or you could devide these names '''by comma'''.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''creator'''
| ''Shakespeare, William''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exCre2|as linked data]]
 
When you '''in doubt about family name and given name''' give the name as it appears.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''contributor'''
| ''Snoop Dogg''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exCon2|as linked data]]
 
If there is '''more than one contributor/creator/publisher/rightsHolder''', each should be listed separately,
 
like another resource,
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''publisher'''
| gnd
| ''2125990-2''

| '''publisher'''
|
|
|-
|
| '''name'''

|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exPub1|as linked data]]
 
or with plain text.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''creator'''
| ''Hubble Telescope''
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;

|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''publisher'''

|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exPub2|as linked data]]
 
= Type =
 
The type property refers to a description of the nature or genre of the content of a resource (e.g. a stylistic category, a function or an aggregation level). To describe the physical or digital manifestation, use format.
 
== Guidelines for the creation of type content ==
 
We recommend to '''select a value from a controlled vocabulary''' (e. g. [http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-type-vocabulary/ DCMI Type Vocabulary]).
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''type'''
| dctype
|
|-
|
|
| ''Still Image''
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exTyp1|as linked data]]
 
But you may also use '''plain text'''.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''type'''
| ''Conference''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exTyp4|as linked data]]
 
If '''no formal controlled vocabulary''' exists, you could create a domain specific one.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''type'''
| ''[[conference]]''
|-
|}
 
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| identifier
| ''[[conference]]''
|
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''label'''
| ''Conference''
| eng
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''label'''
| ''Tagung'' 
| ger
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''label'''
| ''съезд'' 
| rus
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exTyp5|as linked data]]
 
 
Is the resource composed of '''multiple components of different types''' the property should be repeated.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''type'''

| '''type'''
| dctype
|
|-
|
|
| ''Text''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exTyp2|as linked data]]
 
Different communities use a variety of type vocabularies. To ensure interoperability you can use terms from different vocabularies side by side - e.g. a type of the DCMI  Type vocabulary in addition to '''a non-controlled or domain specific type term'''.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"

[[PublishingMetadata#exTyp3|as linked data]]
 
= Format =
 
The property format refers to the file format, the physical medium (e.g. the data storage medium), or the dimension (the size or duration) of a resource. The information can be relevant to determine the equipment needed to display or operate a resource (e.g. if the described resource has format pdf you need a pdf reader to use it). To specify the different categories of format you should use extent and/or medium. To reference to the nature or genre of the content use type.
 
== Guidelines for the creation of format content ==
 
For the description of the '''file format''' we recommend to use a controlled vocabulary - e.g. the list of [http://purl.org/NET/mediatypes/ Internet Media Types](MIME).
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''format'''
| mime
| ''jpeg''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exFor1|as linked data]]
 
You should repeat the properties when '''more than one type of value exists'''.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''format'''
| mime
| ''jpeg''
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''format'''
|
| ''40 x 512 pixels''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exFor2|as linked data]]
 
= Extent =
 
This property refers to the size (e.g. bytes, pages, inches, etc.) or duration (e.g. hours, minutes, days, etc.) of a resource.
 
== Guidelines for the creation of extent content ==
 
Typically the value used for the description of the extent consists of a '''numeric value and a caption''' to specify it. You may use a text string to present it
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''extent'''
| 
|-
|
| ''21 minutes''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exExt1|as linked data]]
 
or use controlled values for the caption.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''extent'''
|
|
|-
|
| minutes
| ''21''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exExt2|as linked data]]
 
= Medium =
 
This property refers to the physical carrier of the resource and may only be used if the resource is of physical nature (e.g. a painting, a sculpture, etc.)
 
== Guidelines for the creation of medium content ==
 
Note that the '''media types must not be used with the property medium''' because medium describes only physical objects.
 
We recommend to '''use a controlled vocabulary'''. If no formal controlled vocabulary exist you should nonetheless handle the media type like another resource.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''medium'''
|
|-
|
| ''oil on wood''
|-
|
| ''oil''
|-
|
| ''wood''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exMed1|as linked data]]
 
= Language =
 
This properties refers to the language of the intellectual content of the resource.
 
== Guidelines for the creation of language content ==
 
For the identification of languages please follow [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4646.txt RFC 4646]. Best practice would be to '''select a value from the three letter language tags of ISO 639''' (e.g. http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp).
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''A great deliverance''
|
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''language'''
| ISO 639-3
| ''eng''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exLan7|as linked data]]
 
or
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''A great deliverance''
|
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''language'''
|
| 
|-
|
| RFC 4646
| ''eng''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exLan1|as linked data]]
 
If the content is in '''more than one language''', the property should be repeated.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''Charlie Wilson's War''
| 
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''language'''
| ISO 639-3
| ''eng''
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''language'''
| ISO 639-3
| ''hun''
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''language'''
| ISO 639-3
| ''tur''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exLan2|as linked data]]
 
But if '''every language version has it's own identifier''', they have to be treated like single resources.

= Identifiers =
 
== Identifier ==
 
An identifier is an unambiguous reference to a resource. Examples of formal identification systems include the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) - including the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) or the International Standard Book Number (ISBN).
 
== BibliographicCitation ==
* dcterms:bibliographicCitation
 
BibliographicCitation is a bibliographic reference to a resource identifying the resource by bibliographic details. Typically the described resource is the child in a parent/child relationship where the bibliographicCitation is not describing the relationship but the location of the described resource within the parent resource (e.g. the bibliographic citation of an article consists of the name of a journal as well as the number of volume, issues and even page references). For the description of parent/child relations see hasPart or isPartOf. BibliographicCitation may only be used to describe bibliographic resources like books, articles or other documentary resource.
 
== Guidelines for the creation of identifier content ==
 
Best practice is to '''declare the identification system''' from which an identifier is selected.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''What's a URI and why does it matter?''
|
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''identifier'''
| ''http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~ht/WhatAreURIs/''
| URI
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exIde1|as linked data]]
 
Identifiers should be selected from formal identification systems as above but can also be '''local identifiers''' as long as there is a proper declaration of these.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;

| '''identifier'''
| ''03KTM147''
| local ID
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exIde2|as linked data]]
 
Note that the identifier of the description of a resource (e. g. of the metadata record) is not the same as the identifier of the resource itself.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"

| URI
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exIde3|as linked data]]
 
If no identifier from a formal identification system exist, the identifier can be generated by a '''bibliographic citation'''. The bibliographic citation can be created as '''text citation''',
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''
| ''Prototyping Digital Library Technologies in zetoc''

| '''bibliographicCitation'''
| ''Lecture Notes in Computer Science 2458, 309-323 (2002)''
|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exBib1|as linked data]]
 
or as '''machine readable citations'''.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style=background-color:#FFFF66;
| '''title'''

|-
|}
[[PublishingMetadata#exBib2|as linked data]]
 
You can also '''structure the bibliographic information'''.
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"  style="border-collapse:collapse;"

= Descriptions =
 
== Description ==
 
This property refers to the description of the content of a resource. The description is a potentially rich source of indexable terms and assist the users in their selection of an appropriate resource. To refine the character of a description use abstract or tableOfContent.
 
== Abstract ==
 
This property is used when the description of a resource is a formal abstract.
 
== TableOfContent ==
 
This property is used when the description of a resource is a structured list of the contents of a resource.
 
== Guidelines for the creation of descriptions ==

It concentrates on those verification methods that have now become classic, such as the inductive assertions method of Floyd, the axiomatic method of Hoare, and Scott's fixpoint induction. The aim of the book is to present these different verification methods in a simple setting and to explain their mathematical background. In particular the problems of correctness and completeness of the different methods are discussed in some detail and many helpful examples are included.''

= Coverage =
 
== Coverage ==
 
The property coverage describes a relationship between a resource and another resource which represents the extent or scope of the content of the first resource. This includes the spatial locations (a place name or geographic co-ordinates), temporal periods (a period label, a date or a date range), or jurisdictions (states, counties, or other administrative entities). If you want to make a destinction between the temporal or spatial character of the content use temporal or spatial.
 
== Temporal ==
 
This property describes the relationship between a resource and another resource which represent the temporal characteristics of the intellectual content of the first resource expressed by period labels or date encoding. If you want to describe date of the lifecycle of a resource use the date properties.

= Dates =
 
== Date ==
 
The property date refers to a description of any dates or ranges in the lifecycle of a resource and is typically associated with the creation or availability. If the destinction between different sorts of date is necessary, the following subproperties should be used. If a date is describing the content of a resource the properties coverage or temporal have to be used.
 
== Created ==
 
This property refers to a description of the date or range of the creation of a resource. According to the one-to-one principle this has to be the creation date of the resource being described and not the creation date of any other resource from which the described resource derives (e.g. a former version or a superior resource). So a resource is created only once, every other date of creation belongs to another resource that has to be described on its own. 
 
== Issued ==
 
This property refers to a description of the date of the formal issuance resp. publication of a resource. A resource is issued only once, every other issuance belongs to another resource that has to be described on its own. If the issuance of a resource is not formal the property "available" should be used.
 
== Available ==
 
This property refers to a description of the date a resource did become or will become available. A resource becomes available only once, every other availability belongs to another resource that has to be described on its own. If the availability of a resource starts with the formal issuance resp. publication use "issued".
 
== Modified ==
 
This property refers to a description of the date a resource was changed. You may record every date a resource was modified by repeating this property or record only one date (this should be the last one).
 
== Valid ==
 
This property refers to a description of the date or range a resource is, was or will be valid. This property should be used if a resource is only valid resp. relevant until a particular date.
 
== DateCopyrighted ==
 
This property refers to a description of the date or range of the copyright of the resource.
 
== DateSubmitted ==
 
This property refers to a description of the date a resource was submitted (e.g. a thesis at a university department, an article at the editorial board of a journal, etc.).
 
== DateAccepted ==
 
This property refers to a description of the date a resource was accepted (e.g. a thesis by a university department, an article by the editorial board of a journal, etc.)
 
== Guidelines for the creation of content for dates ==
 
For the structure of date properties we recommend the usage of the '''W3CDTF profile of ISO 8601''' [W3CDTF]. It allows to sort search results by date and facilitates the merging of metadata of different applications.
 
You should use this encoding for '''a point in time'''

= Source and Relations =
 
== Relation ==
 
Relation represents the relationship between the described resource and another resource, that is related to the described resource in some way. Such relationship may be expressed reciprocally but this is not required and depends on the sort of relation. If the relation shall be specified more precicely use one of the following properties.
 
== Source ==
 
Source describes the relationship between the described resource and another resource, from which the described resource is derived in whole or in part (e.g. data of a climate centre are the source of a forecast, a book or journal is the source of a scan, etc.)
 
== IsPartOf ==
 
This property describes the relationship between the described resource and another resource of which the described resource is a physical or logical part (e.g. a painting as part of a collection, an article as part of a journal, etc.). The described resource is like a "child" in a hierarchical or "parent/child" relationship. For the reciprocal statement use hasPart.
 
== HasPart ==
 
This property describes the relationship between the desribed resource and another resource which is a physical or logical part of the described resource (e.g. the described resource is a collection of paintings, or a journal with different articles, etc.). The described resource is like the "parent" in a hierarchical or "parent/child" relationship. For the reciprocal statement use isPartOf.
 
== IsVersionOf ==
 
This property describes the relationship between the described resource and another resource, that is a former version, edition or adaptation of the described resource (e.g. the described resource is the revision of a book, or another recording  of a song, etc.). Another version implies changes in the content of a resource. For resources with different formats use isFormatOf. For the reciprocal statement use hasVersion. 
 
== HasVersion ==
 
This property describes the relationship between the desribed property and another property, that is a later version, edition or adaptation of the described resource (e.g. the described resource is the older version of a revised book, or of a song, etc.). Another version implies changes in the content of a resource. For resources with different formats use hasFormat. For the reciprocal statement use isVersionOf. 
 
== IsFormatOf ==
 
This property describes the relationship between the described resource and another resource, that is a former version of the described resource with the same intellectual content but presented in another format (e.g. the described resource is the microfilm version of a printed book, or the pdf version of a doc document). For intellectual changes between resources use isVersonOf. For the reciprocal statement use hasFormat.
 
== HasFormat ==
 
This property describes the relationship between the described resource and another resource, that is a later version of the described resource with the same intellectual content but presented in another format (e.g. the desribed resource is a printed book that is also availabel as a microfilm, or a doc document that is also available as pdf). For intellectual changes between resources use hasVersion. For the reciprocal statement use isFormatOf.
 
== Replaces ==
 
This property describes the relationship between the described resource and another resource, that has been supplanted, displaced or superseeded by the described resource. It is used for the valid version in chain of versions (e.g. the described resource is the the last draft of a contract, or the current version of guidelines). For the reciprocal statement use isReplacedBy.
 
== IsReplacedBy ==
 
This property describes the relationship between the described resource and another resource, that supplants, displaces or superseedes the described resource. It is used, when in chain of versions only one version is valid (e.g. the described resource is one of the former drafts of a contract, or a former version of guidelines). For the reciprocal statement use replaces.
 
== Requires ==
 
This property describes the relationship between the described resource and another resource supporting the function, delivery or coherence of the content of the described resource (e.g. the described resource is an application that can be used only with a particular software, or hardware). For the reciprocal statement use isRequiredBy.
 
== IsRequiredBy ==
 
The described resource is necesssary for the function, delivery or coherence of the content of the resource the property references to (e.g. the described resource is a software or hardware necesssary to use a particular application). For the reciprocal statement use requires.
 
== References ==
 
This property describes the relationship between the described resource and another resource that is cited, referenced, or otherwise pointed to by the described resource (e.g. the described resource is an article citing a book, or an interview pointing to a play). For the reciprocal statement use isReferencedBy.
 
== IsReferencedBy ==
 
This property describes the relationship between a resource and another resource that points to the described resource by citation, acknowledgement, etc (e.g. the described resource is a book cited in an article, or a play pointed to in an interview, etc.). For the reciprocal statement use references.
 
== ConformsTo ==
 
This property describes the relationship between a resource and an established standard, to which the described resource conforms (e.g. a metadata record that conforms to the RDA standard, or a pipe that conforms to ISO 3183, etc.)
 
== Guidelines for the creation of content for relations and source ==
 
You may refer to the related resource by plain text or by a URI representing the related resource. If you use plain text, you should '''use a formal citation'''.

= Special properties for the description of education material  =
 
== Audience ==
 
The property audience represents the relationship between a resource and the class of persons for whom the resource is intended or useful (e.g. the resource is a textbook for psychologists, etc.). To specify an audience more precisely use mediator or educationLevel.
 
== Mediator ==
 
This property represents the relationship between a resource and the class of persons who mediate access to the resource and for whom it is intended or useful. This might be teachers, parents etc. (e.g. teachers are  mediators for a resource intended to be used in elementary school lessons)
 
== EducationLevel ==
 
This property refers to information about the progress of an audience through the educational or training context, for which the described resource is intended (e.g. the resource is an English workbook for students of the 4th - 5th grade).
 
== InsctructionalMethod ==
 
This property refers to the process used to engender knowledge, attitudes and skills, that the described resource is designed to support. Typically it includes ways of presenting instructional materials or conducting instructional activities, patterns of learner-to-learner and learner-to-instructor interactions, and mechanisms by which group and individual levels of learning are measured. Instructional methods include all aspects of the instruction and learning processes from planning and implementation through evaluation and feedback.
 
== Guidelines for the creation of content for properties describing education material ==
 
You should use formal or informal '''controlled vocabularies'''. Though none are registered by DCMI, implementors are encouraged to develop local lists of values, and to use them consistently.
