Simple Dublin Core
Standard: Simple Dublin Core
About the Standard: Simple Dublin Core is a Dublin Core Application Profile in which the properties available are the 15 elements of the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set and in which values are represented by value strings. A description set conforming to the Simple Dublin Core DCAP contains only one description; within that description, a property may be referenced in multiple statements or in none; each statement must contain a value string; value URIs and rich representations are not permitted.
Version: The Simple Dublin Core element set are stable.
Maturity: The Simple Dublin Core application profile has been widely deployed, particularly by implementers of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
Risk Assessment: The Simple Dublin Core application profile supports the creation of simple metadata descriptions, and is designed primarily to support simple resource discovery functions.
SOA Role: Search, Harvest.
