Metadata grammar

DCMI grammar: Elements and Qualifiers

• Resources (Web pages, books, museum objects) have things like Creators and Titles -- Elements

• Elements are modified by Qualifiers (adjectives)

RDF grammar: Resources, Relations, Classes

• RDF and DC grammars are close conceptually, though terminologies differ
• Using RDF schemas for the DCMI registry is helping clarify differences and harmonize grammars
