Terminology for DCAMDublin Core Abstract ModelDublin Core Abstract Model

Resource– a resource is anything that has identity. For example, a

resource may be an electronic document, an image, a service (e.g., "today's weather report for Los Angeles"), andservice (e.g., today s weather report for Los Angeles ), and a collection of other resources. Not all resources are network "retrievable"; e.g., human beings, corporations, and bound books in a library can also be considered resourcesbound books in a library can also be considered resources.

Property– a property is a specific aspect, characteristic, attribute, or p p y p p , , ,

DCAM – DC Abstract Model

Dublin Core is used to make descritpions about resources A description is made up of

– the URI of the resource being described (resource URI)– one or more statements (about just that one resource)

Literal and non-literal values

DCAM supports the distinction betweenpp values that really are strings (literals, indicated with value

strings)titl (t t)– titles (text)

– counts (integers)– identifiers (string tokens)– identifiers (string tokens)– etc.

values that are things, concepts or other non-string g , p gresources (non-literals, indicated with a value URI, a vocabulary encoding scheme, one or more value strings)

P– Persons– Documents– EventsEvents– etc.

Encoding schemes

Values and value strings can be ‘qualified’ by using g q y gencoding schemes

A vocabulary encoding scheme is used to indicate a “set y gof values”, of which the value is a member– e.g. the value is a member of LCSHg

A syntax encoding scheme is used to indicate how the value string is structured– e.g. the value string is structured according to the

W3CDTF rules (“2004-10-12”)

From DCAM to RDF to .....

Real-world metadata applications tend to be based on loosely d f d i i ( h h d ib dgrouped sets of descriptions (where the described resources are

typically related in some way) In the abstract model they are known as as description setsy p

– for example, a description set might comprise descriptions of both a painting and the artist

D i ti t i t ti t d f th f h Description sets are instantiated, for the purposes of exchange between software applications, in the form of metadata records

Each record conforms to one of the DCMI encoding guidelines (HTML g g (meta tags, XML, RDF/XML, etc.)

It is easy to express a DC description set as a RDF graph, and then express it in RDF/XMLexpress it in RDF/XML
