A list of as yet unresolved issues, or those ideas or problems that are still under discussion.
Dublin Core Resource Types: Open Issues - 1998-10-16
Editor: Simon Cox, CSIRO Exploration & Mining
Please note that this is an informal list of current issues of which we are aware. The sequence and organisation are not necessarily significant.
Cross-community study of existing lexicons and models of resource types
are we happy with event?
Subtypes
text (huge hierarchy of document types)
image (moving vs. still, symbolic graphics vs. representations)
*.collection ?
need to group type with accompanying format element for compound resources
the 1:1 principle and compound/mixed resources
Dublin Core Format Element: Open Issues - 1998-10-16
Editor: Simon Cox, CSIRO Exploration & Mining
Please note that this is an informal list of current issues of which we are aware. The sequence and organisation are not necessarily significant.
types of format elements: format.size vs format.media
structure of format.size:
different sizes - eg. mass vs linear, duration vs. bytes, pixels vs linear vs bytes
different aspects of a size - length vs breadth vs depth
measurement units for format.size - is this a "scheme"?
media types for non-electronic formats
nested formats, eg. compressed, archives
need to group type with accompanying format element for compound resources
grouping multiple values of format together, eg size+media
the 1:1 principle and compound/mixed resource
