DC元数据的历史、现状及未来

Abstract

This is a comprehensive introduction to DCMI (Dublin Core Metadata Initiative), its activities, metadata specifications and future directions. Many topics discussed during the history of DCMI on metadata developing and implementation are still repeated in the applications of Chinese Digital Library circle in recent years. The authors think that the experiences and expertise of DCMI can be a good reference for Chinese colleagues on metadata development, and to avoid reinventing the wheel.
