DC-Gov Definition
Source Comments Recommended best practice is to reference the resource by means of a string or number conforming to a formal identification system.
DC-Gov Comments Relation without qualifier is optional; where it is qualified the recommendation for the qualifier should be followed. If using qualifiers, use the most specific one that is applicable. When no Identifier is available, a bibliographic description may be constructed. Future work will involve developing guidelines. Recommended use with qualifiers in certain situations: - When documents in hand are parts of "host documents" (e.g. journal, monographic series) and when there is no citation information in DC identifier. - When documents in hand are revisions or reformatted issues of earlier publications and information on these are readily available.
