13、15836:2009(E) ISO 2009 All rights reserved iiiForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each mem

14、ber body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International El

15、ectrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards ado

16、pted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of pat

ISO 15836 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee SC 4, Technical interoperability. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15836:20

18、03), of which it constitutes a minor revision to incorporate minor changes and align it with ANSI/NISO Z39.85:2007.

19、he Dublin Core Metadata Element Set is a vocabulary of fifteen properties for use in resource description. The name “Dublin” comes from its original 1995 invitational workshop, which took place in Dublin, Ohio; “core” because its elements are broad and generic, usable for describing a wide range of

20、resources. The fifteen-element “Dublin Core” described in this International Standard is part of a larger set of metadata vocabularies and technical specifications maintained by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI). The full set of vocabularies, DCMI Metadata Terms DCMI-TERMS, also includes a

21、set of resource classes, the DCMI Type Vocabulary DCMI-TYPE. The terms in DCMI vocabularies are intended to be used in combination with terms from other, compatible vocabularies in the context of application profiles and on the bases of the DCMI Abstract Model DCAM. In 2006, the DCMI Usage Board und

22、ertook an editorial review of terms in the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES) in order to clarify intended semantics and bring the wording of their definitions and usage comments into line with the language of the DCMI Abstract Model DCAM. A set of proposed changes was posted for public commen

23、t from August 28 to September 25, 2006. A face-to-face Usage Board meeting in Manzanillo, Mexico, on September 30, 2006, resulted in the publication on December 18, 2006, of a decision text, a response to comments, and a revised terms documentation. This revision of the original ANSI/NISO Z39.85 sta

24、ndard that was issued in 2001 corresponds to version 1.1 on the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative website that resulted from the editorial review and public comment period described above. All changes made to terms of the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set since 2001 have been reviewed by a DCMI Usage B

25、oard in the context of a DCMI Namespace Policy DCMI-NAMESPACE. The namespace policy describes how DCMI terms are assigned Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) and sets limits on the range of editorial changes that may be already made to the labels, definitions and usage comments associated with exist

26、ing DCMI terms.

27、l Standard establishes a standard for cross-domain resource description, known as the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. Like RFC 3986, this International Standard does not limit what might be a resource. This International Standard defines the elements typically used in the context of an application

28、 profile which constrains or specifies their use in accordance with local or community-based requirements and policies. However, it does not define implementation detail, which is outside the scope of this International Standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispen

33、t In the element descriptions given in Table 1, each element has a descriptive label (“label”) for human recognition and a unique token (“name”) for use in machine processing. In accordance with the DCMI Namespace Policy DCMI-NAMESPACE specified in ANSI/NISO Z39.85:2007, the “name” of an element is

34、appended to a DCMI namespace URI to construct a Uniform Resource Identifier as a globally unique identifier for that element. The use of element names and URIs in the context of different implementation technologies is explained in DCMI Encoding Guidelines DCMI-ENCODINGS. Table 1 Element description

Typically, the name of a Creator should be used to indicate the entity. subject Sub

36、ject topic of the resource Typically, the subject will be represented using keywords, key phrases, or classification codes. Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary. To describe the spatial or temporal topic of the resource, use the Coverage element. description Description accoun

37、t of the resource Description may include, but is not limited to, an abstract, a table of contents, a graphical representation, or a free-text account of the resource. publisher Publisher entity responsible for making the resource available Examples of Publisher include a person, an organization, or

38、 a service. Typically, the name of a Publisher should be used to identify the entity. contributor Contributor entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Examples of a Contributor include a person, an organization, or a service. Typically, the name of a Contributor should be used to

39、indicate the entity. date Date point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date may be used to express temporal information at any level of granularity. Recommended best practice is to use an encoding schema such as the W3CDTF profile of ISO 8601 W3CDTF. type Ty

40、pe nature or genre of the resource Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the DCMI Type Vocabulary DCMI-TYPE. To describe the file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource, use the Format element. format Format file format, physical medium, or dimensions of

41、 the resource Examples of dimensions include size and duration. Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the list of Internet Media Types MIME.
