Section 1: Introduction and Definitions

This document is an up-to-date, authoritative specification of all metadata terms maintained by the Dublin Core™ Metadata Initiative -- elements, element refinements, encoding schemes, and vocabulary terms (the DCMI Type Vocabulary). Links to other relevant documentation may be found on the "Overview of Documentation for DCMI Metadata Terms" [OVERVIEW].

Legacy documents covering subsets of this document are publicly available in various forms, including the IETF RFC 2413 [RFC2413], the CEN Workshop Agreement CWA 13874 [CWA13874], NISO Standard Z39.85-2001 [Z3985], and a variety of national standards that include some or all of the Dublin Core™ Metadata Set.

Each term is specified with the following minimal set of attributes:

Name:	The unique token assigned to the term.
URI:	The Uniform Resource Identifier used to uniquely identify a term.
Label:	The human-readable label assigned to the term.
Definition:	A statement that represents the concept and essential nature of the term.
Type of Term:	The type of term, such as Element or Encoding Scheme, as described in the DCMI Grammatical Principles.
Status:	Status assigned to term by the DCMI Usage Board, as described in the DCMI Usage Board Process.
Date issued:	Date on which a term was first declared.

Where applicable, the following attributes provide additional information about a term:

Comment:	Additional information about the term or its application.
See:	A link to authoritative documentation.
References:	A citation or URL of a resource referenced in the Definition or Comment.
Refines:	A reference to a term refined by an Element Refinement.
Qualifies:	A reference to a term qualified by an Encoding Scheme.

Readers desiring further information about the change history or Usage Board decisions that support these terms should consult the document "DCMI Metadata Terms -- A Complete Historical Record" [HISTORY].

This documentation is maintained by the DCMI Usage Board. Although DCMI is committed to ensuring a high degree of stability of the specifications it maintains, changes may occur as a result of the work of the Usage Board. The policies and processes governing the identification and maintenance of metadata terms are described in "DCMI Namespace Policy" [NAMESPACE], "DCMI Grammatical Principles" [PRINCIPLES], and "DCMI Usage Board Administrative Processes" [PROCESS]. Usage Board decisions with respect to DCMI metadata terms are summarized on the Web page "DCMI Usage Board Decisions" [DECISIONS].
