This is just a general question about the simple schema developed for
DC. I am currently designing a system to store cultural heritage
documents for the Canadian Heritage project and they are currently using
DC within a relational structure. Unfortunately they have a number of
extensions that aren't defined by a XML schema or DTD. We are using a
metadata software entry tool called ALOHA which will ingest the metadata
schema and create a entry screen based on that schema so we need to
develop an extended schema. It will then store the record as
schema-validated CML. I was wondering if anyone had worked on creating
an extended schema for DC? Any examples would be helpful. It will be
important later on as well when we start looking at making the records
interoperable with IMS and MARC.
