Tools and Software - DC-Dot

DC-Dot

DC-Dot is a Dublin Core metadata generator. In its original form it retrieves a web page, analyses it, and generates Dublin Core metadata. A live version of the original software can be found at the DC-Dot service endpoint.

Update history

DC-dot was substantially updated in the early spring of 2009 with the intent to:
  • Update the level of compliance with coding standards
  • Improve reusability
  • Increase the number of input filters (ie. input file formats)
  • Increase the number of output formats (metadata formats)
  • Improve the accuracy/relevancy of suggested metadata
