Status of Document: | This is a Draft Dublin Core™ Application Profile. |
Description of Document: | This document presents a summary view of the draft application profile for collection-level description developed by the Dublin Core™ Collection Description Working Group. |
Introduction
Note:本文总结了视图的应用程序lication profile. For full details, see the full description of the Dublin Core™ Collection Description Application Profile [DCCDAP].
This document describes:
- Theset of termsused in a class of DC metadatadescription sets.
Specifically, it describes the set of terms used in a description of a collection (i.e. a "collection-level description", or "unitary finding aid" in the terminology of theAnalytical Model of Collections and their Catalogues[AMCC]). A collection description conforming to this DC CD AP may be the only description in adescription setor it may be part of a description set which includes descriptions of other resources related to the collection (as values in statements about the collection). Such other resources include the location of the collection, the services that provide access to the collection, concepts that are the subject of the collection, and other collections. While this DCAP permits the inclusion of descriptions of those related resources, it does not specify the properties and classes that may be referenced in descriptions of resources other than collections. - Howthe terms in this set are deployed in this class of DC metadata descriptions.
This includes requirements for the the occurrence ofstatementsusing a specifiedproperty, constraints on the types ofvaluewhich are referenced in a statement using a specified property (vocabulary encoding schemes), and constraints on thedatatypesof thevalue stringsoccurring in a statement using a specified property (syntax encoding schemes).
The terms description set, description, property, value, vocabulary encoding scheme, value representation, rich representation, value string, syntax encoding scheme, and related description are used in the sense they are used in the DCMI Abstract Model [DCAM].
This document isnota description of an XML format. There may be multiple bindings of the DC CD AP to XML and to other syntaxes.
Outstanding Isssues
This DCAP is currently work-in-progress. One issue is still under discussion:
- Whether to modify the profile to specify the set of properties used to describe a collection description (as well as to describe a collection).
Vocabularies/Namespaces used in this DCAP
All references to properties and classes in DC metadata descriptions are made using URIs, In this document, Qualified Names of the formprefix ":" local-part
are used as abbreviations for URIs which identify metadata terms. Prefixes are assumed to be associated with Namespace Names (URIs) as follows, and the corresponding URI for the term is constructed by concatenating the Namespace Name and thelocal-part
:
Vocabulary Title | Namespace Name | Prefix |
---|---|---|
The Dublin Core™ Metadata Element Set, v1.1 | http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ | dc |
Dublin Core™ Terms | http://purl.org/dc/terms/ | dcterms |
Dublin Core™ Type Vocabulary | http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/ | dcmitype |

Collection Description Terms (collection-specific terms) |
http://example.org/cld/terms# [temporary URI, final URI to be confirmed] |
cld |
General Description Terms (non-collection-specific terms) |
http://example.org/gen/terms# [temporary URI, final URI to be confirmed] |
gen |
Collection Description Type Vocabulary Terms | http://example.org/cld/cdtype# [temporary URI, final URI to be confirmed] |
cldtype |
Please note that where the Qualified Name of a term (property/class) appears against a shaded background in the table below (i.e. all terms with the prefixesgen
,cld
andcldtype
), this indicates that those terms have not yet been assigned persistent URIs. Until such persistent URIs are assigned, by DCMI or by some other naming authority, these terms should be considered to be unstable and should not be referenced in metadata descriptions, except as part of the evaluation/testing of this profile.
Property Usage
每个主要行下表中描述了一个年代pecified property should be used in a statement within a DC metadata description.
- Label:A short human-readable label that provides an indication of how the property is to be used in a DC CD AP collection description. The label does not appear in the description. Itmaybe used to provide a descriptor for fields in displays of DC CD AP collection descriptions, but there is no requirement for display applications to use this label.
- Qualified Name for Property:A unique name/identifier for the property. It is presented as a Qualified Name, but is an abbreviation for a URI. This URImustbe used to refer to the property in DC CD AP collection descriptions.
- Usage in this DCAP:A description of how the definition of the property is to be applied in DC CD AP collection descriptions. This information supplements the definition of the property provided by its owner/maintenance agency.
- Obligation:An indication of whether a statement using this property is required in a DC CD AP collection description. M = mandatory; a statement using this property is required, OR = a statement using this property is optional but recommended, O = a statement using this property is optional
- Qualified Name(s) for Vocabulary Encoding Scheme(s):The unique names/identifiers of classes from which values for the property should be drawn. Names are presented as Qualified Names, but are abbreviations for URIs. The URImustbe used to refer to the class in DC CD AP collection descriptions. If no class is listed, then the DC CD AP does not specify a class from which values should be drawn. However the definition and usage of the property may determine that values of only certain types are appropriate. For example, the value of the
dc:creator
property must be an entity capable of action. - Value URI:An indication of whether a value URI is to be used in a statement using the property (and vocabulary encoding scheme, where specified). M = mandatory; a value URI is required, O = a value URI is optional (seenote), N = a value URI is not permitted
- Value String:An indication of whether a value string is to be used in a statement using the property (and vocabulary encoding scheme, where specified). M = mandatory; a value string is required, O = a value string is optional (seenote), N = a value string is not permitted
- Qualified Name(s) for Syntax Encoding Scheme(s):The unique names/identifiers of datatypes from which value strings for the property should be drawn. Names are presented as Qualified Names, but are abbreviations for URIs. The URImustbe used to refer to the datatype in DC CD AP collection descriptions. If no datatype is listed, then the DC CD AP does not specify a datatype from which value strings should be drawn.
- Rich Representation:An indication of whether a rich representation is to be used in a statement using the property (and vocabulary encoding scheme, where specified). M = mandatory; a rich representation is required, O = a rich representation is optional (seenote), N = a rich representation is not permitted
Note: For each value,at least oneof the following components must be present: a value URI, a rich representation, a value string or a (related) description.
