Field Detail

Namespace

public static final java.lang.String Namespace
Namespace URI of this schema

Rights

public static final java.lang.String Rights
A rights management statement, an identifier that links to a rights management statement, or an identifier that links to a service providing information about rights management for the resource.

Format

public static final java.lang.String Format
The data format of the resource, used to identify the software and possibly hardware that might be needed to display or operate the resource. For the sake of interoperability, Format should be selected from an enumerated list that is currently under development in the workshop series.

Source

public static final java.lang.String Source
Information about a second resource from which the present resource is derived. While it is generally recommended that elements contain information about the present resource only, this element may contain a date, creator, format, identifier, or other metadata for the second resource when it is considered important for discovery of the present resource; recommended best practice is to use the Relation element instead. For example, it is possible to use a Source date of 1603 in a description of a 1996 film adaptation of a Shakespearean play, but it is preferred instead to use Relation "IsBasedOn" with a reference to a separate resource whose description contains a Date of 1603. Source is not applicable if the present resource is in its original form.

Publisher

public static final java.lang.String Publisher
The entity responsible for making the resource available in its present form, such as a publishing house, a university department, or a corporate entity.

Relation

public static final java.lang.String Relation
An identifier of a second resource and its relationship to the present resource. This element permits links between related resources and resource descriptions to be indicated. Examples include an edition of a work (IsVersionOf), a translation of a work (IsBasedOn), a chapter of a book (IsPartOf), and a mechanical transformation of a dataset into an image (IsFormatOf). For the sake of interoperability, relationships should be selected from an enumerated list that is currently under development in the workshop series.

Coverage

public static final java.lang.String Coverage
The spatial or temporal characteristics of the intellectual content of the resource. Spatial coverage refers to a physical region (e.g., celestial sector); use coordinates (e.g., longitude and latitude) or place names that are from a controlled list or are fully spelled out. Temporal coverage refers to what the resource is about rather than when it was created or made available (the latter belonging in the Date element); use the same date/time format (often a range) [Date and Time Formats (based on ISO8601), W3C Technical Note, http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime] as recommended for the Date element or time periods that are from a controlled list or are fully spelled out.

Language

public static final java.lang.String Language
The language of the intellectual content of the resource. Where practical, the content of this field should coincide with RFC 1766 [Tags for the Identification of Languages, http://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc1766.txt ]; examples include en, de, es, fi, fr, ja, th, and zh.

Identifier

public static final java.lang.String Identifier
A string or number used to uniquely identify the resource. Examples for networked resources include URLs and URNs (when implemented). Other globally-unique identifiers, such as International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN) or other formal names are also candidates for this element.

Title

public static final java.lang.String Title
The name given to the resource, usually by the Creator or Publisher.

Contributor

public static final java.lang.String Contributor
A person or organization not specified in a Creator element who has made significant intellectual contributions to the resource but whose contribution is secondary to any person or organization specified in a Creator element (for example, editor, transcriber, and illustrator).

Description

public static final java.lang.String Description
A textual description of the content of the resource, including abstracts in the case of document-like objects or content descriptions in the case of visual resources.

Creator

public static final java.lang.String Creator
The person or organization primarily responsible for creating the intellectual content of the resource. For example, authors in the case of written documents, artists, photographers, or illustrators in the case of visual resources.

Subject

public static final java.lang.String Subject
The topic of the resource. Typically, subject will be expressed as keywords or phrases that describe the subject or content of the resource. The use of controlled vocabularies and formal classification schemes is encouraged.

Date

public static final java.lang.String Date
A date associated with the creation or availability of the resource. Such a date is not to be confused with one belonging in the Coverage element, which would be associated with the resource only insofar as the intellectual content is somehow about that date. Recommended best practice is defined in a profile of ISO 8601 [Date and Time Formats (based on ISO8601), W3C Technical Note, http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime] that includes (among others) dates of the forms YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD. In this scheme, for example, the date 1994-11-05 corresponds to November 5, 1994.

Type

public static final java.lang.String Type
The category of the resource, such as home page, novel, poem, working paper, technical report, essay, dictionary. For the sake of interoperability, Type should be selected from an enumerated list that is currently under development in the workshop series.
