Dublin Core specifikacija
  1. DC - Dublin Core Elementi: Dublin Core (DC) ni standard temveč mednarodna pobuda na področju metapodatkovnih opisov. DC ima zelo široko sektorsko podporo pri uporabi na različnih področjih. S strani Evropske organizacije za standardizacijo CEN je bil DC prepoznan in odobren kot ustrezen metapodatkovni opis za odkrivanje in poizvedovanje po multimedijskih informacijah. Namen Dublin Core specifikacije ni bil nikoli nadomestiti ozko specificirane standarde za področje metapodatkov, kot je to na primer ISO 19115. Njegov namen in vrednost je ravno v dopolnjevanju s tovrstnimi specializiranimi standardi, saj s tem pomaga uporabnikom pri odkrivanju in sikanju prostorskih podatkovnih nizov na različnih področjih in sektorjih. gre za neke vrste skupno metapodatkovno jedro, ki je prenosljivo in razumljivo v posameznih specifičnih okoljih.


  2. Opis metapodatkovne strukture po elementih Dublin Core Decembra 1996 so se posamezne institucije predvsem s področja bibliotekartsva v Dublinu na Irskem dogovorile za 15 temeljnih elementov metapodatkovnega opisa. Osnovni (Core) elementi se od takrat ne spreminjajo, posamezni upravljavci metapodatkovnih zbirk pa zaradi svojih lastnih potreb dodajajo posamezne podelemente.

    Posamezni element ima jasno opisno ime, ki služi za enolično prepoznavnost posameznega elementa. Posamezna polja temeljnih elementov metapodatkovnega opisa izdelanega po Dublin Core specifikaciji, nam prikazuje spodnja tabela.
Številka elementa DC Element - prevod DC Element Opis posameznih elementov v Dublin Core specifikaciji Za pravilnejše razumevanje navajamo opise posameznih elementov v izvirniku (angleškem jeziku)
1 IME Title Ime ki ga je posameznemu delu dal avtor The name given to the resource by the CREATOR or PUBLISHER.
2 AVTOR Creator Oseba ali organizacija, ki je nosilec intelektualne lastnine nad opisanim delom The person(s) or organization(s) primarily responsible for 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.
3 PREDMET / VSEBINA Subject Vsebina dela ali ključne besede, ki pojasnujejo vsebino. The topic of the resource, or keywords or phrases that describe the subject or content of the resource. The intent of the specification of this element is to promote the use of controlled vocabularies and keywords. This element might well include scheme-qualified classification data (for example, Library of Congress Classification Numbers or Dewey Decimal numbers) or scheme-qualified controlled vocabularies (such as MEdical Subject Headings or Art and Architecture Thesaurus descriptors) as well.
4 OPIS / POVZETEK Description Opis ali skrašan povzetek vsebine ali vzorec vsebine, kadar gre za grafično vsebino. 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. Future metadata collections might well include computational content description (spectral analysis of a visual resource, for example) that may not be embeddable in current network systems. In such a case this field might contain a link to such a description rather than the description itself.
5 ZALOŽNIK Publisher Organizacioja ali oseba, ki je odgovorna za izdajo ali produciranje opisanega dela v obliki, v kakršni se trenutno nahaja. The entity responsible for making the resource available in its present form, such as a publisher, a university department, or a corporate entity. The intent of specifying this field is to identify the entity that provides access to the resource.
6 SOAVTOR Contributor Oseba ali organizacija, ki je soavtor opisanega dela. Person(s) or organization(s) in addition to those specified in the CREATOR element who have made significant intellectual contributions to the resource but whose contribution is secondary to the individuals or entities specifed in the CREATOR element (for example, editors, transcribers, illustrators, and convenors).
7 DATUM Date Datum, ko je opisano delo postalo dostopno uporabnikom. The date the resource was made available in its present form. The recommended best practice is an 8 digit number in the form YYYYMMDD as defined by ANSI X3.30-1985. In this scheme, the date element for the day this is written would be 19961203, or December 3, 1996. Many other schema are possible, but if used, they should be identified in an unambiguous manner.
8 TIP Type Kategorija, tip ali vrsta opisanega dela The category of the resource, such as home page, novel, poem, working paper, technical report, essay, dictionary. It is expected that RESOURCE TYPE will be chosen from an enumerated list of types. A preliminary set of such types can be found at the following URL: DC-ObjectTypes.
9 FORMAT Format Oblika zapisa opisanega dela, kot je na primer format zapisa teksta ali slike in podobno. The data representation of the resource, such as text/html, ASCII, Postscript file, executable application, or JPEG image. The intent of specifying this element is to provide information necessary to allow people or machines to make decisions about the usability of the encoded data (what hardware and software might be required to display or execute it, for example). As with RESOURCE TYPE, FORMAT will be assigned from enumerated lists such as registered Internet Media Types (MIME types). In principal, formats can include physical media such as books, serials, or other non-electronic media.
10 IDENTIFIKATOR Identifier Enolični identifikator ali koda, ki opisuje vir. 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 would also be candidates for this element.
11 VIR Source V primeru posredne oblike zapisa (elektronske) za posamezno opisano delo, navedemo izvirnik, iz katerega je ta posredna oblika zapisa nastala. The work, either print or electronic, from which this resource is derived, if applicable. For example, an html encoding of a Shakespearean sonnet might identify the paper version of the sonnet from which the electronic version was transcribed.
12 JEZIK Language Jezik, v katerem je opisano delo nastalo. Language(s) of the intellectual content of the resource. Where practical, the content of this field should coincide with the Z39.53 three character codes for written languages. See: Lang3.
13 POVEZAVE Relation Povezave z ostalimi sorodnimi viri. Relationship to other resources. The intent of specifying this element is to provide a means to express relationships among resources that have formal relationships to others, but exist as discrete resources themselves. For example, images in a document, chapters in a book, or items in a collection. A formal specification of RELATION is currently under development. Users and developers should understand that use of this element should be currently considered experimental.
14 OBSEG Coverage Prostorska lokacija in časovni obseg opisanega dela. The spatial locations and temporal durations characteristic of the resource. Formal specification of COVERAGE is currently under development. Users and developers should understand that use of this element should be currently considered experimental.
15 AVTORSKE PRAVICE Rights Vsebina tega polja nam pove na katero osebo ali organizacijo se je potrebno sklicevati pri uporabi avtorskih in sorodnih pravic. The content of this element is intended to be a link (a URL or other suitable URI as appropriate) to a copyright notice, a rights-management statement, or perhaps a server that would provide such information in a dynamic way. The intent of specifying this field is to allow providers a means to associate terms and conditions or copyright statements with a resource or collection of resources. No assumptions should be made by users if such a field is empty or not present.
