The International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) invites
comments on the first public draft of:
Common Components Library Specification
http://iptc.org/pdl.php?fn=DRAFT-NAR_1.0-spec-CoCo-LibSpec_2.pdf
13 July 2005
This document describes the Administrative and Descriptive Metadata
components of the News Structure Model. It specifies the semantics
of common metadata elements for News, including some Dublin Core
elements, eg:
dc:audience
dc:created
dc:creator
dc:contributor
dc:description
dc:language
dc:subject
dc:title
as well as additional elements, eg:
genre
infoSource
service
slugline
We decided to create genre rather than use dc:type as there isn't a
good enough semantic match. For the same reason, we decided to
create infoSource rather than use dc:source.
Some of the metadata elements have been given specific qualifiers:
role -- for dc:creator and dc:contributor
exclude and significance -- for dc:audience
The Common Components Library Specification follows on from the
recently released:
