This proposal is for review by Dublin Core community. It proposes a new element refinement Captured for the DC:Date element that is included in the proposed DC-Library Application Profile. This review period is 15 April-11 May 2002.
| Name | captured |
| Label | Captured |
| Definition | Date that the resource was captured. |
| Comment | Includes the date the resource was digitized or a subsequent snapshot was taken (particularly for dynamic resources) if different from Date.Created . Best practice is to use as a machine-processible date (ISO 8601 or W3CDTF). |
| Examples | 1999 |
| Type of term | Element refinement |
| Term qualified | Date |
| Why needed | It may be necessary to distinguish the date captured from date created, particularly in cases where the intellectual content was created on a different date than that in which it was digitized or a subsequent snapshot was taken (particularly for dynamic resources). |
| Proposed status | Domain-specific |
| Related DCMI terms | Date.Creation: many library applications consider date created that of the intellectual content (this interpretation is specified in the DC-Lib application profile). It is important to also include the date of capture and to distinguish it as such. |
| Related non-DCMI terms | |
| Impact on applications | Some applications may have used Date.Created for this because of the lack of a qualifier. This element refinement has been requested on several occasions. There is a known application (Colorado Digitization Project) that has used Date.Digitized locally for this concept. |
