Introduction
This document is a consolidated representation of metadata terms
recommended by DCMI as of the Date Last Modified in the document
header information. Specifically, this includes all of the
terms defined in the Dublin Core Element Set version 1.1 of 2
July 1999 [DCMES], the Dublin Core Qualifiers of 11 July 2000
[DCQ], and three additional terms approved on 21 May 2001 by the
Usage Board [DECISION2001.01] -- in short, all of the terms
recommended by DCMI to date except for those of the DCMI Type
Vocabulary, which is described in a separate document [DCT1].
This consolidated document replaces the earlier documents as the
authoritative representation of DCMI metadata terms. As of
April 2002 it is expected that this document will eventually be
replaced by a terminological database, or Vocabulary Management
System (VMS), which will become the definitive repository of the
definitions and related versioning information for DCMI metadata
terms (see [DC-REGISTRY]).
After extensive discussions on DCMI mailing lists and in
accordance with a decision of the Usage Board [DECISION2001.02],
this document describes metadata terms with the attributes used
in the Dublin Core Qualifiers recommendation of July 2000
{DCQ] rather than those used for the Dublin Core Metadata
Element Set, version 1.1, of July 1999 [DCMES], which were based
more closely on the ISO/IEC 11179 standard [ISO11179].
The DCMI terms represented here are described with the following
attributes, of which URI of Term, Name, Label, Definition, Term
Type, and Decision are obligatory:
Name: The unique token assigned to the term.
URI: The unique identifier of a term (see [TERMS]).
Label: The human-readable label assigned to
the term.
Definition: A statement that represents the concept
and essential nature of the term.
Comment: Additional information about the
term or its application.
See Also: A link to more information about the term,
such as supporting documentation for the
original proposal to the Usage Board.
Term Type: Element, Element Refinement, or Encoding Scheme
(see [PRINCIPLES]).
Terms Qualified: If a "qualifier" (Element Refinement or Encoding
Scheme), name(s) of the Element(s) qualified.
Status: Status assigned to term by Usage Board
(see [TERMS] and [PROCESS]).
Decision: Number of Usage Board decision (see [DECISIONS]).
VMS note: Additional information of relevance to the
planned Vocabulary Management System.

formally known.
Term Type: Element
Decision: http://dublincore.org/usage/decisions/index.shtml#1999.01
Name: creator
URI: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator
Label: Creator
Definition: An entity primarily responsible for making the content of
the resource.

of the resource.
Recommended best practice is to select a value from a
controlled vocabulary or formal classification scheme.

Term Type: Element
Decision: http://dublincore.org/usage/decisions/index.shtml#1999.01
Name: type
URI: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/type
Label: Resource Type
Definition: The nature or genre of the content of the resource.
Comment: Type includes terms describing general categories, functions,
genres, or aggregation levels for content. Recommended best
practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary
(for example, the working draft list of Dublin Core Types
[DCT1]). To describe the physical or digital manifestation
of the resource, use the FORMAT element.
Term Type: Element
Decision: http://dublincore.org/usage/decisions/index.shtml#1999.01
Name: format
URI: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/format
Label: Format

controlled vocabulary (for example, the list of Internet Media
Types [MIME] defining computer media formats).

Name: identifier
URI: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/identifier
Label: Resource Identifier

International Standard Book Number (ISBN).
