All,
Attached are my proposal for the DCMI Schemas. Please let me know if you
think these need changed. It is important that we reach consensus quickly
on this in order to move the Registry project forward. Once we agree on the
Schema definitions I would like to take the following actions:
1. Publish the dces schema at: http://dublincore.org/2001/08/14/dces
2. Publish the dcq schema at: http://dublincore.org/2001/08/14/dcq
3. Publish the dctype schema at: http://dublincore.org/2001/08/14/dctype
4. Change the PURL http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ to point to the proposed
dces schema (1)
5. Create http://purl.org/dc/terms/ and point it at the proposed qualifiers
schema (2)
6. Create http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/ and point it at the proposed
controlled vocabularies schema (3)
There has been some discussion regarding generating the human-readable
version of the Schemas from the machine-readable version. I believe this
could be done by adding some additional properties to the EOR Schema (i.e.,
eor:Definition) and then processing the machine-readable version through an
XSLT processor. However, in light of the static nature of the DCMI Schemas,
is this really worth the effort involved? If we think it is we should
update the EOR schema and add the required information to the DMCI Schemas
now, even if we don't automatically generate the human-readable version in
phase 1.
Your comments, suggestions, etc. are very much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Harry Wagner

<eor:comment>The name of the controlled classification scheme from
which the classification is derived should always be identified as a
value qualifier Existing resource discovery implementations treat
classification notation (codes) differently to 'words' describing
`subject. Typically notation is used to create a browsing structure
whereas words are not, notation is not displayed in retrieved lists
whereas 'subject words' are displayed. It is important for software
to precisely recognise notations as different from 'subject
words'. Looking for numeric strings cannot be relied on as notations
may be alphanumeric so it is useful to identify them by means of a
qualifier. It is unrealistic to expect software to identify
notations as such by means of the value qualifier for subject, as
there is a potentially huge list of value qualifiers which cover
subject headings, and thesauri as well as classification
notations. </eor:comment>

<rdfs:Class rdf:about = "&dctypens;Collection">
<rdfs:label>Collection</rdfs:label>
<rdfs:comment>A collection is an aggregation of items. The term collection
means that the resource is described as a group; its parts may be
separately described and navigated.</rdfs:comment>
<rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource = "&dctypens;Resource" />
<rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource = "&dctypens;" />
</rdfs:Class>
<rdfs:Class rdf:about = "&dctypens;Dataset">
<rdfs:label>Dataset</rdfs:label>
<rdfs:comment>A dataset is information encoded in a defined structure (for
example, lists, tables, and databases), intended to be useful for direct
machine processing. </rdfs:comment>

</rdfs:Class>
<rdfs:Class rdf:about = "&dctypens;Event">
<rdfs:label>Event</rdfs:label>
<rdfs:comment>An event is a non-persistent, time-based
occurrence. Metadata for an event provides descriptive information
that is the basis for discovery of the purpose, location, duration,
responsible agents, and links to related events and resources. The
resource of type event may not be retrievable if the described
instantiation has expired or is yet to occur. Examples - exhibition,
web-cast, conference, workshop, open-day, performance, battle, trial,
wedding, tea-party, conflagration. </rdfs:comment>

</rdfs:Class>
<rdfs:Class rdf:about = "&dctypens;Image">
<rdfs:label>Image</rdfs:label>
<rdfs:comment>An image is a primarily symbolic visual representation
other than text. For example - images and photographs of physical
objects, paintings, prints, drawings, other images and graphics,
animations and moving pictures, film, diagrams, maps, musical
notation. Note that image may include both electronic and physical
representations.</rdfs:comment>

</rdfs:Class>
<rdfs:Class rdf:about = "&dctypens;InteractiveResource">
<rdfs:label>Interactive Resource</rdfs:label>
<rdfs:comment>An interactive resource is a resource which requires
interaction from the user to be understood, executed, or
experienced. For example - forms on web pages, applets, multimedia
learning objects, chat services, virtual reality. </rdfs:comment>
<rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource = "&dctypens;Resource" />

</rdfs:Class>
<rdfs:Class rdf:about = "&dctypens;Service">
<rdfs:label>Service</rdfs:label>
<rdfs:comment>A service is a system that provides one or more
functions of value to the end-user. Examples include: a photocopying
service, a banking service, an authentication service, interlibrary
loans, a Z39.50 or Web server. </rdfs:comment>

<rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource = "&dctypens;" />
</rdfs:Class>
<rdfs:Class rdf:about = "&dctypens;Software">
<rdfs:label>Software</rdfs:label>
<rdfs:comment>a computer program in source or compiled form which
may be available for installation non-transiently on another
machine. For software which exists only to create an interactive
environment, use interactive instead. </rdfs:comment>
<rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource = "&dctypens;Resource" />
<rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource = "&dctypens;" />
</rdfs:Class>
<rdfs:Class rdf:about = "&dctypens;Sound">
<rdfs:label>Sound</rdfs:label>
<rdfs:comment>A sound is a resource whose content is primarily intended to be
rendered as audio. For example - a music playback file format, an audio
compact disc, and recorded speech or sounds. </rdfs:comment>
<rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource = "&dctypens;Resource" />
<rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource = "&dctypens;" />
</rdfs:Class>
<rdfs:Class rdf:about = "&dctypens;Text">
<rdfs:label>Text</rdfs:label>
<rdfs:comment>A text is a resource whose content is primarily words
for reading. For example - books, letters, dissertations, poems,
newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles
or images of texts are still of the genre text. </rdfs:comment>
