The name “Dublin” comes from its original 1995 invitational workshop, which took place in Dubl
30、in, Ohio; “core” because these elements are broad and generic, usable for describing a wide range of resources.The 15-element “core” specified in this document is part of a larger set of metadata vocabularies and technical specifications maintained by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI). The
31、full set of vocabularies, DCMI Metadata Terms DCMI-TERMS, will be specified in ISO 15836-2.The core elements may be used in combination with metadata terms from other compatible vocabularies in the context of application profiles as specified in the DCMI Abstract Model DCAM.In the definitions for el
32、ements, the following conventions have been used and are explained in notes: each element has a descriptive label (“label”) for human recognition; each element also has a unique token (“name”) for use in machine processing.In accordance with the DCMI Namespace Policy DCMI-NAMESPACE specified in ANSI
33、/NISO Z39.85:2012, the “name” of an element is appended to a DCMI namespace URI RFC 3986 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 Encodin
34、g Guidelines DCMI-ENCODINGS.

These terms are par
35、t of a larger set of metadata vocabularies maintained by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. Properties in the /terms/ namespace are included in ISO 15836-2.This document does not limit what might be a resource.This document does not provide implementation guidelines. However, the elements are typi
36、cally used in the context of an application profile which constrains or specifies their use in accordance with local or community-based requirements and policies.2 Normative referencesThe following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requ
