Dear Meta colleagues,
Forgive me if these 2 matters have already been discussed and decided upon
many times. My archive of the list is really too long to read in detail, and I
havent found a clear explanation in the DC web pages.
(Maybe I havent looked hard enough).
We are trying to set up an implementation, based on todays html
(be it 4 or 3.2, I dont think it is very important)
Question #1: format of personal names
In the DC web pages, we read things like DC.creator CONTENT="Tim Berners-Lee".
People in france tend to use for cataloging purposes "Berners-Lee, Tim"
(to avoid people telling me Tim's first name is probably "Timothy", let us say
"Weibel, Stuart")
IS there a recommended format? (as there is for DC.date?)
One we can use without having to refer to a scheme? Or must we use a scheme?.
Question #2: repeatable elements.
In examples I take from here and there, I frequently see the DC.creator
element repeated, ie
<META NAME="DC.creator" CONTENT="Tim Berners-Lee">
<META NAME="DC.creator" CONTENT="Dan Conolly">
I also see tother elements such as DC.subject with multiple keywords.
(admittedly, not in the DC web pages)
Is it correct to use multiple values inside CONTENT, or must everything
be repeated?
Thanks for any answers.
Cheers,
