David,
That would be great.
I don't have ISO 19115 to hand, but from what I can see it has:
- file id for the metadata record
- language used in metadata record
- character set used in metadata record
- parent metadata record id
- contact details for creator of metadata record
- date metadata record was last updated
- schema (and version) used in the metadata record (eg. MARC, ISO 19115)
All the other elements in ISO 19115 seem to refer to the described resource rather than the metadata record itself.
Features from Admin Core [1] missing include:
- location (eg. URI) of metadata record
- rights ownership over the metadata record
- handling specification
- activities performed on the metadata record
- source database
We still use Admin Core, especially ac:rights, under the recommended namespace http://purl.org/ac/ [2]

A-Core never really took off and in comparison with other standards is
of limited use. AGLS looked at this issue last year and decided to adapt
the administrative metadata in ISO 19115 (Geographic information -
Metadata). The terms are being implemented in a namespace called
adminterms. I can post a reference description if there is any interest.

Hi All,
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it in the
archives. What happened to the Administrative Dublin Core (A-Core)?
I have a personal website, and implemented DC on it in 2001. Revamping
the metadata has finally reached the top of my to-do list. Looking on
the DC website, in the intervening seven years there have been a number
of changes. The biggest, for my simple use, is the absence of A-Core.
Can I still use this?
I have been using the following elements from it:
AC.activity (created)
AC.name
AC.email
The other big change, from my point of view, is Qualified DC. I can see
that this will be most useful.
Many thanks,
Martin
