6. Object management. Good metadata supports the long-term management of objects in Notes

This document provides help for DCCT and library units in implementing these principles. Each
section describes a metadata format, includes a discussion of areas where UIUC library may apply
the standard, and includes links to additional resources.

Dublin Core
The Dublin Core metadata standard is a simple yet effective element set for describing a wide range
of networked resources. The semantics of Dublin Core have been established by an international,
cross-disciplinary group of professionals (the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) from
librarianship, computer science, text encoding, the museum community, and other related fields of
scholarship and practice.
In the diverse world of the Internet, Dublin Core can be seen as a “metadata pidgin for digital
tourists”: easily grasped, but not necessarily up to the task of expressing complex relationships or
concepts.
