AS ISO 15836.1:2018 PDF
The objective of this Standard is to establish 15 core metadata elements for cross-domain resource description.
The Dublin Core Metadata Element Set contains 15 core elements for use in resource description. The name “Dublin” comes from its original 1995 invitational workshop, which took place in Dublin, Ohio; “core” because these elements are broad and generic, usable for describing a wide range of resources.
The 15-element “core” specified in this document is part of a larger set of metadata vocabularies and technical specifications maintained by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI). The full set of vocabularies, DCMI Metadata Terms [DCMI-TERMS], will be specified in ISO 15836-2.
The core elements may be used in combination with metadata terms from other compatible vocabularies in the context of application profiles as specified in the DCMI Abstract Model [DCAM].
