Information and documentation - The Dublin Core metadata element set - Part 2: DCMI Properties and classes

This Standard adopts ISO 15836 2:2019, which establishes a vocabulary for cross-domain resource description, known as the Dublin Core metadata terms (hereafter DCMI Metadata Terms). It includes all of the properties and classes in the main namespace of DCMI Metadata Terms (hereafter “the /terms/ namespace”), as published in the DCMI Recommendation document “DCMI Metadata Terms” of 2012 (DCMI-TERMS and Annex A). As explained in Annex B, these properties and classes can be identified by URIs for use in linked data. This Standard does not contain the following supporting terms from “DCMI Metadata Terms” specification: (a) Terms from the /elements/1.1/ namespace (included in AS ISO 15836.1), (b) Vocabulary encoding schemes, (c) Syntax encoding schemes, (d) DCMI Type vocabulary, (e) Terms related to the DCMI Abstract Model. Both AS ISO 15836.1 and this Standard include the 15 so-called core terms, but in AS ISO 15836.1 they are from the /elements/1.1/ namespace, and in this Standard from the /terms/ namespace. In the latter, the terms have narrower semantics.  This Standard does not limit what might be a resource.  This Standard does not provide specific implementation guidelines. The properties and classes are typically used in the context of an application profile, which constrains or specifies their use in accordance with local or community-based requirements and policies.
