Dublin Core

From JISC Standards Catalogue

Entry
Dublin Core
Area
Metadata Standards
Standard
Dublin Core is a metadata standard made up of three distinct components: an abstract model which describes the construction of metadata descriptions; a set of vocabularies that provide terms which are referenced in DC metadata descriptions; a set of binding specifications that describe how DC metadata descriptions may be serialised.
Versions
New terms are regularly added to the metadata vocabularies maintained by DCMI, under the control of the DCMI Usage Board.
Maturity
Dublin Core has its origins in workshops held in the mid 1990s. It is an important standard within the context of JISC development programmes.
Risk Assessment
Dublin Core plays a key role in many development areas.
Take-up Elsewhere
Dublin Core is used by a wide variety of organisations; a list of Dublin Core-based projects <http://uk.dublincore.org/projects/> is available.
