Introduction
• Dublin is referring to Dublin, Ohio, US.
• the work originated from an invitational workshop
(the "OCLC/NCSA Metadata Workshop") hosted in
1995 by Online Computer Library Center
• The "Core" refers to the fact that the metadata
element set is a basic but expandable "core" list.
• The semantics of Dublin Core were established and
are maintained by an international, cross-disciplinary
group of professionals from librarianship, computer
science, text encoding, museums, and other related
fields of scholarship and practice.

Using Dublin Core
- Simple Dublin Core
Simple Dublin Core
Core Comprises 15 elements that can divide to 3 main group;
content of resources, intellectual property, resource as an instance.
4. Source
• A Reference to a resource from which the present resource is
derived.
• Example
Source="Image from page 54 of the 1922 edition of Romeo and
Juliet"

- Simple Dublin Core
Content of resource
5. Language
• A language of the intellectual content of the resource.
Defines two- and three-letter primary language tags with
optional subtags. Examples include "en" or "eng" for
English, "akk" for Akkadian, and "en-GB" for English used in
the United Kingdom.
• Example
Language="en"
6. Relation
• A reference to a related resource.
• Example
Title="Dead Ringer"
Relation="Gemstar e-book"
[Relationship described is requires]

Content of resource
7. Coverage
• The extent or scope of the content of the resource.
Coverage will typically like a place name or
geographic co-ordinates, time range.
• Example
Coverage="1995-1996"
Coverage="Boston, MA"
Coverage="17th century"
Coverage="Upstate New York"

Qualifier Dublin Core
Subsequent to the specification of the original 15
elements, an ongoing process to develop exemplary
terms extending or refining the Dublin Core
Metadata Element Set (DCMES) was begun. The
additional terms were identified, generally in
working groups of the Dublin Core Metadata
Initiative, and judged by the DCMI (Dublin Core
Metadata Initiative) Usage Board to be in
conformance with principles of good practice for the
qualification of Dublin Core metadata elements.
17. Provenance
• A statement of any changes in ownership and custody of the
resource since its creation that are significant for its authenticity,
integrity and interpretation. The statement may include a
description of any changes successive custodians made to the
resource.
• Example
Provenance="This copy once owned by Benjamin Spock.”

18. Right holder
• A person or organization owning or managing rights over the resource.
Recommended best practice is to use the URI or name of the Rights Holder
to indicate the entity.
• Example
RightsHolder="Stuart Weibel"

Scheme
Encoding scheme
• DCMI Period Encoding Scheme: specification of
the limits of a time interval and methods for
encoding this in a text string
• Several methods are available to indicate a time
interval. These include, but are not limited to:
• a name, normally defined in an enumeration such as
a list of artistic, cultural, historical, archaeological,
geological or cosmological eras or periods, a list of
ruler's names, families or dynasties, etc.
• the limits of the interval, using either numeric or
named values, the latter optionally including qualifiers
such as start of, end of, middle of, etc.

Encoding DCMI Period
The components of a DCMI Period identifier have
no meaning when disaggregated, since in any
particular instance it is the complete set which
indicates the specific time interval. For systems in
which data is encoded using a limited character
set, this is conveniently accomplished by
packaging the components into a single text string
according to the DCSV recommendation [DCSV].
Extensibility
• While balancing the needs for simplicity in describing digital resources with
the need for precise retrieval, Dublin Core developers have recognized the
importance of providing a mechanism for extending the DC element set for
additional resource discovery needs. It is expected that other communities
of metadata experts will create and administer additional metadata sets,
specialized to the needs of their communities.

Conclusion
Conclusion
DC has not achieved wide acceptance within the
wider web community. Estimates of sites identified
using DC range from well under 1% to a maximum of
3%; that identification is often restricted to the top
level of sites rather than embracing every digital
object on the particular site. DC is unlikely to
become the global standard for most content on the
internet and intranets. It is however significant as
the 'lingua franca' for the exchange of data and for
cross-database searches of cultural material online.
It may also serve as a building block for construction
of the semantic web.
