| Description | A textual description of the content of the resource, including abstracts in the case of document-like objects or content descriptions in the case of visual resources. | ||
| Format | IMT | The data format and, optionally, dimensions (e.g., size, duration) of the resource. The format is used to identify the software and possibly hardware that might be needed to display or operate the resource. For the sake of interoperability, the format should be selected from an enumerated list that is currently under development in the workshop series. | |
| X-Requirements | Free text describing necessary hardware and software requirements essential for the use of the resource being described. | ||
| X-Size | Seconds, Word Count, Bytes, Pixels | Description of size in megabytes, pixels, time etc. | |
| Identifier | URL, URN, ISBN, ISSN, DOI, PAL or NTSC | A string or number used to uniquely identify the resource. Examples for networked resources include URLs and URNs (when implemented). Other globally-unique identifiers, such as International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN), Digital Object Identifier (DOI) or other formal names are also candidates for this element. | |
| X-InTime | Only for videos and film. (The subelements are following the TV standard PAL or the NTSC standard (hh.mm.ss.ff - hours, minutes, seconds, frames, where ff stands for frame as there are more frames within 1 second.) | ||
| X-OutTime | Only for videos and film. (The subelements are following the TV standard PAL or the NTSC standard (hh.mm.ss.ff - hours, minutes, seconds, frames, where ff stands for frame as there are more frames within 1 second.) | ||
| Language |
Should conform to RFC1766 |
The language of the intellectual content of the resource. | |
| Publisher | The entity responsible for making the resource available in its present form, such as a publishing house, a university department, or a corporate entity. | ||

| Relation |
Controlled vocabulary + URL, URN (E.g., “IsFormatOf; http://foo.bar.com/ text.doc”) |
An identifier of a second resource and its relationship to the present resource. This element is used to express linkages among related resources. For the sake of interaperability, relationships should be selected from an enumerated list that is currently under development in the DC workshop series. | |
| Rights | URL, URN | A rights management statement, an identifier that links to a rights management statement, or an identifier that links to a service providing information about rights management of the resource. (EUN also provides a controlled vocabulary for rights management.) | |
| X-Price | URL, EURO | The price of the product being described including the currency scheme. (No default value. Values: “for free”, “URL” or “free text”) | |
| Source | Information about a second resource from which the present resource is derived. While it is generally recommended that elements contain information about the present resource only, this element may contain metadata for the second resource when it is considered important for discovery of the present resource. | ||
