  4. About Dublin Core and the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative DC-2004 @ Shanghai Library

  5. Origins of Dublin Core • October 1994, brainstorm at 2nd WWW Conference, Chicago • March 1995, NCSA/OCLC workshop in Dublin, Ohio • Identified the need for a metadata “Core”: small, common set to describe Web content to help discovery DC-2004 @ Shanghai Library

  6. Status of Dublin Core • Since 1995, 11 workshops/conferences held • Many resources have Dublin Core metadata, we do not know how many • 2003: ISO ratifies Dublin Core metadata as International Standard 15836 • Metadata ‘terms’ and implementation guidelines on DCMI Web site DC-2004 @ Shanghai Library

  7. Highlights of Dublin Core • Simple solution for basic interoperability • Minimise resources to create metadata • Facilities to add local extensions • Often used for ‘controlled collections’ • General search engines consider hybrid solutions (full text and metadata from trusted sources) DC-2004 @ Shanghai Library

  8. DCMI Mission and Scope • Facilitate resource discovery by: • Standards for discovery across domains • Frameworks for interoperability • Facilitating development of community profiles • Activities: • Standards development: workshops, working groups • Tools and infrastructure, including Registry • Outreach, training, liaison with other metadata activities DC-2004 @ Shanghai Library

  9. DCMI work structure • DCMI’s three ‘I’s: • Independent • International • Influencable – open and consensus-driven • Work takes place in Working Groups around certain technical themes or domain interests – anyone can participate DC-2004 @ Shanghai Library

  10. DCMI Community • Many domains represented: archives, broadcasting, corporate, education, libraries, environment, government, etc. etc. • 20 working groups • 3,300 subscribers to working group list and DC-General • Representation from over 50 countries and over 1,000 organizations DC-2004 @ Shanghai Library

  11. DCMI Governance • Board of Trustees – high-level experts who oversee the operations • Advisory Board – technical experts who advise the Directorate • Usage Board – maintains semantics • Affiliates – national bodies who share in promoting and funding the Initiative DC-2004 @ Shanghai Library

  12. DCMI Affiliate Program – community ownership • Maintaining and promoting standards requires resources • Long-time support from OCLC • National Affiliates share in promoting and funding the Initiative • Current Affiliates: • National Library of Finland • MLA/JISC in the UK DC-2004 @ Shanghai Library
