Hi,
I guess this question has already been asked several times but I couldn't find the answer...
I want to express that a certain resource (e.g., an image) has a certain mime-type (image/jpeg). I want to use dcterms:format instead of the legacy dc:formats element. Since the range of dcterms:format is MediaTypeOrExtent I assume that the mime-type information should be expressed in terms of a resource.
However, mime-types are typically plain strings and not resources, so I would express the mime-type by using a simple string literal. Is this semantically valid?
What is the correct way of using dcterms:format?
Thanks,
Bernhard
