6.2 Simple HTML Examples

General examples [1]

    <meta name    = "DC.Creator"
          content = "Simpson, Homer">

    <meta name    = "DC.Title"
          content = "The Communist Manifesto">

    <meta name    = "DC.Creator"
          content = "Marx, K.">

    <meta name    = "DC.Creator"
          content = "Engels, F.">

    <meta name    = "DC.Title"
          content = "Capital">

Example: Special character encoding [1]

    <meta name    = "DC.Creator"
          content = "Da Costa, JosÉ">

    <meta name    = "DC.Title"
          content = "Jesse "The Body" Ventura--A Biography">

These examples show how some special characters may be encoded. The author name in the first element contains a diacritic encoded as an HTML character entity reference -- in this case an accented letter E. Similarly, the second contains two double-quote characters encoded so as to avoid being interpreted as element content delimiters.

Link tags [1]

    <link rel     = "schema.DC"
          href    = "http://purl.org/DC/elements/1.0/">

    <link rel     = "schema.ADMIN"
          href    = "http://metadata.net/admin">

Embedded HTML in poem [1]

    <html>

    <head>

    <title> A Dirge </title>

    <link rel     = "schema.DC"
          href    = "http://purl.org/DC/elements/1.0/">

    <meta name    = "DC.Title"
          content = "A Dirge">

    <meta name    = "DC.Creator"
          content = "Shelley, Percy Bysshe">
 
    <meta name    = "DC.Type"
          content = "poem">

    <meta name    = "DC.Date"
          content = "1820">

    <meta name    = "DC.Format"
          content = "text/html">

    <meta name    = "DC.Language"
          content = "en">

    </head>

    <body><pre>

            Rough wind, that moanest loud
              Grief too sad for song;
            Wild wind, when sullen cloud
              Knells all the night long;
            Sad storm, whose tears are vain,
            Bare woods, whose branches strain,
            Deep caves and dreary main, -
              Wail, for the world's wrong!

    </pre></body>

    </html>

Different encoding practices [1]

    <META NAME="DC.Format"
          CONTENT="text/html; 12 Kbytes">

    <meta
            Content = "text/html; 12 Kbytes"
            Name = "DC.Format">

    <meta name = "DC.Format" content = "text/html; 12 Kbytes">

Encoding languages and schemes [1]

    <meta lang    = "LANGUAGE_OF_METADATA_CONTENT" ... >

    <meta scheme  = "CONTROLLED_FORMAT_OR_VOCABULARY_OF_METADATA" ... >

    <meta name    = "PREFIX.ELEMENT_NAME.SUBELEMENT_NAME" ... >

Accordingly, a work in Spanish with an additional English title might be described with:

    <meta name    = "DC.Language"
          scheme  = "rfc1766"
          content = "es">

    <meta name    = "DC.Title"
          lang    = "es"
          content = "La Mesa Verde y la Silla Roja">

    <meta name    = "DC.Title"
          lang    = "en"
          content = "The Green Table and the Red Chair">

    <meta name    = "DC.Date"
          content = "1935">

Encoding Dublin Core Elements [1]
