Comments about Atom and Dublin Note that many can be repeated with "lang" attributes. Atom Dublin Comment title DC.title or html ... subtitle nothing good in DC; see http://askdcmi.askvrd.org/default.aspx?id=12046&cat=1720 perhaps just colon separate in title: http://ntl.bts.gov/dublincore/ntl_dc_desc.html in atom, subtitle is only for feed, not entry in MODS, titleInfo/title and titleInfo/subTitle do not overlap in USMARC, 245$a may split with 245$b or may have it all in NITF, there is and <title type="subtitle"> in newspapers, there is a "deck" that might appear between title and copy a "lead" is the first one or few sentences DCTERMS.alternative alternative title. may also be a "shorttitle" for indexing, vs. what appears on the page. rather vague in DC USMARC has 246 MODS has <titleInfo type="abbreviated"> and <titleInfo type="alternative"> category/@term DC.subject generally means "classifiable under", not so much "is about". that is, a genre or general category. atom allows @scheme, @label. dc says keywords or classification codes DC.subject can be comma-separated like html <meta name="keywords" content="..."> but we favor repeating the element rather than a single value atom category may be repeated NewsML distinguishes Topic (formal name) and Subject (IPTC Subject Codes) DC.type one of DCMITYPE: StillImage, MovingImage, Sound, Text, Software DCTERMS.audience updated DCTERMS.modified DC.date is too vague, though in general taken to be publication published DCTERMS.issued publication date DCTERMS.available date range it is/was/will be available DCTERMS.created when created DCTERMS.dateSubmitted when submitted to publisher DCTERMS.dateAccepted when accepted (or approved) by publisher author/name DC.creator an author might have an affiliation suggestion in http://www.dublincore.org/documents/dc-citation-guidelines/ is to use contributor for the affiliation. but seems questionable, since associates with resource, not the author. RFC2629 has a nested "organization" docbook has a nested "affiliation" DC.publisher note that the publisher and the issuing organization (which might be some professional group) might differ. some publishers have nicknames ("W3" or "IETF" or "ISO"); MARC has Publisher Abbreviation/Name (260/b) contributor DC.contributor DC.language iso639-2 summary DCTERMS.abstract DC.description is too vague. see also html <meta name="description" content="..."> which describes the content (vs. synopsis?) see also PRISM.teaser DCTERMS.tableOfContents DC.coverage geo scope, such as TGN http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabulary/tgn/index.html some bibliographies also expect a city of publication DC.format mime type DCTERMS.extent size or duration content @type, @src link DC.relation dcterms: isPartOf, hasPart, hasFormat, hasVersion atom link is similar to html link: @href. optional: @rel, @type, @hreflang, @title, and @length. if just href, it is the link to the content id DC.identifier dc is opaque identifier such as ISBN, DOI, URI. different versions has same id but different "updated" atom id is a permanent URI, but may be like "urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a" or "tag:diveintomark.org,2004-05-27:1192" see http://diveintomark.org/archives/2004/05/28/howto-atom-id <id>http://www.example.org/entries/1</id> is opaque, while <link href="http://..."/> is clickable source DC.source in atom, includes all XML about original feed. in dublin could either be originally from, or part of, etc. rights atom rights is just content. some suggest an attribute like: <rights href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/">Creative Commons: Attribution</rights> for example here: http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/License but that is not what the Atom spec says. there is a separate proposal for an atom license element: draft-snell-atompub-feed-license-05.txt which specifies: <link rel="license" type="text/html" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/" /> DC.rights DC.rights is vague; typically the copyright statement as text, or could be URI ID3.TCOP,WCOP,WOAF TCOP example: "1995 Example Band licensed http://creativcommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/ verify at http://example.com/licenseinfo" or very narrowly: <year> <copyright holder> Licensed to the public under <licenseurl> verify at <verification url> the apparent idea being that the url after "verify at" is for machines and the one before is human readable http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-metadata/2003-May/000111.html http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-metadata/2005-December/000755.html blah blah {license-url} verify at {metadata-url} license-url would move to WCOP metadata-url would move to WOAF [both are in 2.3 and 2.4] 4.3.1 WCOP Copyright/Legal information 4.3.1 WOAF Official audio file webpage Though http://www.id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames.txt indicates WCOP has both copyright and license license DCTERMS.license DCTERMS.license value is a URI. DCTERMS.accessRights who can access, or security status DCTERMS.rightsHolder a person or organization generator like html <meta name="generator"> icon icon and logo are for feeds, not entries. logo
