Dublin Core

The Dublin Core is a set of standards for the use of the Resource Description Format (RDF) dialect of XML, to describe library metadata.

The first standard published is the Dublic Core Metadata Element Set. It consists of 15 metadata elements which may or may not be present and each element may as well be repeated.

  1. Title
  2. Creator
  3. Subject
  4. Description
  5. Publisher
  6. Contributor
  7. Date
  8. Type
  9. Format
  10. Identifier
  11. Source
  12. Language
  13. Relation
  14. Coverage
  15. Rights.

One Document Type Definition (DTD) based on Dublin Core is the Open Source Metadata Framework[?] (OMF) specification. OMF is in turn used by ScrollKeeper[?], which is used by the GNOME desktop and KDE help browsers and the ScrollServer documentation server.
