I am new to this list and relatively new to the world of metadata. I am in
the process of setting up a database for storing metadata from the Dublin
Core Element Set and was wondering if anyone else had experience
doing this.
In particular, I was wondering if guidelines/standards existed for the size
of each field, and which fields to make NOT NULL or Primary. In addition, I
was curious if standards/guidelines existed for the format of data within
each field, for instance the author (ie, last, first or first last, etc).
I have searched the web and found a great deal of helpful information but
none, so far, on these areas.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated,
Thanks,
Sam Farmer
