I note nobody from NOF has yet responded on the list to Tony's question, although this is an issue which is likely to affect most projects.   Having recorded the information at item level to create Dublin core we are wondering how to use it.  I understand that NOF are now steering us towards OAI for metadata, otherwise there seems to be very little we can do with it!  OAI will represent a significant investment for many of the smaller projects and it may be difficult to include it in contracts which have already been awarded.
 
Since Dublin core is for resource discovery there is no point in putting it in the HTML unless these are static pages;  for pages generated dynamically the resource has by definition already been discovered.

Subject: RSLP, RDF and Dublin Core

Dear all,
 
I wonder if someone can help explain to me the connections between RSLP, RDF and Dublin Core.
 
As I understand it, RSLP is a collection schema (made up of other schemas e.g. Dublin Core, vCard etc). RDF is an XML based view of the schema. Now when collections are made available to the public via the internet, we need to generate METADATA tags for the collections. NOF state that we should use Dublin Core, but RSLP uses other schemas in addition. How are these to be portrayed?
 
Do I simple add METADATA like
 
<meta name="dc.language" scheme="iso639-2" content="eng" />
<meta name="dc:subject" content="stuff stuff" />
<meta name="cld:agentName" content="Tony" />
<meta name="cld:objectName" content="stuff stuff" />
<meta name="cld.strength" content="stuff stuff" />
 
Or am I'm completly misunderstanding this.
 
Thanks for any help
