]> The Dublin Core Element Set Qualifier Vocabulary The Dublin Core Element Set Qualifier Vocabulary The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative The Dublin Core Element Set Qualifier Vocabulary is an richer vocabulary intended to facilitate discovery of resources. English 2000-07-11 Alternative Any form of the title used as a substitute or alternative to the formal title of the resource. Classification Subject identified by notation (code) taken from a controlled classification scheme. The name of the controlled classification scheme from which the classification is derived should always be identified as a value qualifier Existing resource discovery implementations treat classification notation (codes) differently to 'words' describing `subject. Typically notation is used to create a browsing structure whereas words are not, notation is not displayed in retrieved lists whereas 'subject words' are displayed. It is important for software to precisely recognise notations as different from 'subject words'. Looking for numeric strings cannot be relied on as notations may be alphanumeric so it is useful to identify them by means of a qualifier. It is unrealistic to expect software to identify notations as such by means of the value qualifier for subject, as there is a potentially huge list of value qualifiers which cover subject headings, and thesauri as well as classification notations.

Note Any additional information about the content of the resource. Table Of Contents A list of subunits of the content of the resource. Release An identification of the edition, release or version of the resource. Created Date of creation of the resource. Issued Date of formal issuance (e.g., publication) of the resource. Modified Date on which the resource was changed. Valid Date (often a range) of validity of a resource. Available Date (often a range) that the resource will become or did become available.

Has Part The described resource includes the referenced resource either physically or logically. Is Version Of The described resource is a version, edition, or adaptation of the referenced resource. Changes in version imply substantive changes in content rather than differences in format. Has Version The described resource has a version, edition, or adaptation, namely, the referenced resource. Is Format Of The described resource is the same intellectual content of the referenced resource, but presented in another format. Has Format The described resource pre-existed the referenced resource, which is essentially the same intellectual content presented in another format. References The described resource references, cites, or otherwise points to the referenced resource. Is Referenced By The described resource is referenced, cited, or otherwise pointed to by the referenced resource. Requires The described resource requires the referenced resource to support its function, delivery, or coherence of content. Is Required By The described resource is required by the referenced resource, either physically or logically. Replaces The described resource supplants, displaces, or supersedes the referenced resource. Is Replaced By The described resource is supplanted, displaced, or superceded by the referenced resource. Spatial Spatial characteristics of the intellectual content of the resoure. Temporal Temporal characteristics of the intellectual content of the resource. Place Encoding Schemes A set of geographic place encoding schemes and/or formats DCMI Box The DCMI Box identifies a region of space using its geographic limits. DCMI Point The DCMI Point identifies a point in space using its geographic coordinates.
