Introduction to Dublin Core — A Shared Vocabulary for Metadata
A beginner-friendly introduction to Dublin Core (ISO 15836), the minimal shared vocabulary for describing resources. Covers why a common vocabulary helps, the 15 core elements (DCMES) and their optional/repeatable nature, the difference between simple (unqualified) DC and qualified DC (DCMI Metadata Terms: refinements and encoding schemes), application profiles and crosswalks, OAI-PMH's oai_dc, and use in RDF/Linked Data. The metadata foundation underlying the Omeka, OAI-PMH, RDF and METS explainers. An experimental, independently-composed video, fact-checked against the specifications.
