  3. Dublin Core Metadata • Metadata is ‘data about data’ • DC Metadata Element Set: 15 elements Title Creator Subject Description Publisher Contributor Date Type Format Identifier Source Language Relation Coverage Rights

  4. Dublin Core Metadata • Simple resource description • Interoperability • Qualified Dublin Core • Element refinement • Encoding schemes • Local, domain-specific qualifiers

  5. Manchester University Press Electronic Journals • Dublin Core elements in XML • Mapping of article metadata to Dublin Core • Display by ‘on the fly’ conversion using OmniMark • Example article metadata: • http://epub.mimas.ac.uk/egs/mupdceg.html

  6. Journal Article Citation Metadata • Minimum reference citation: • journal; volume; page • Article bibliographic record • DC-Citation Working Group recommended • DC.Identifier qualified by Citation • DCCITE scheme • A structured value

  7. MUP Citation Metadata <DC.Identifier.Citation SCHEME=“DCCITE”> <JournalTitleFull>International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education</JournalTitleFull> <JournalTitleAbbreviated>IJEEE </JournalTitleAbbreviated> <Chronology>January 2000</Chronology> <JournalVolume>37</JournalVolume> <JournalIssueNumber>1</JournalIssueNumber> <JournalPages>26-37</JournalPages> </DC.Identifier.Citation>

  8. Other Article Metadata • Author Name / Affiliation - local scheme • MUP.Creator: MUP.FNMS, MUP.SNM, MUP.AFF • PDF Format, File Size and File Name • DC.Format.Medium, DC.Format.Extent, MUP.Identifier • Journal Article Type • DC.Type = Text • SCHEME: DCMI Type List - was DCT1 • MUP.Type = Research Article

  9. Multiple Languages • Language attribute for Title and Description <DC.Title LANGUAGE=“en”>Specifications and standards…</DC.Title> <DC.Title LANGUAGE=“fr”>Sp&eacute;cifications et normes…</DC.Title> <DC.Title LANGUAGE=“de”>Specifikationen und Normen…</DC.Title> <DC.Title LANGUAGE=“es”>Especificaciones y est&aacute;ndares…</DC.Title> • SGML character entities - Unicode in future

  10. Usability of Dublin Core • Standardisation • MMI-DC in Europe • Interoperability • Stability of definition • DC is viable for journal article metadata • with local encoding schemes • Use of DC is recommended
