18 April 2009 | 3.0 | SURFshare | Start of version 3.0. Based on NEEO document "MPEG21 DIDL Application Profile for Institutional Repositories" version 0.4, which is based on "MPEG21 DIDL Document Specifications for repositories" version 2.3.1. See also history. Note that this is the first version of this document. The version number (3.0) indicates that it is more recent and more up-to-date than the predecessors on which it is based by having a higher number than their latest versions.

The DIDL document is a document with one top-level Item element. The Item contains several child Item elements. These child Item elements describe three different types: descriptive metadata, object files and jump-off pages. Between brackets the cardinality of the XML elements are shown:
| |
Item Descriptors
Item Descriptors provide information about the Digital Item. A Descriptor contains a Statement with information about the Item. For each "statement" a new Descriptor is used.
The top level Item element MUST contain two Descriptor elements. One Descriptor element for the (Persistent) Identifier and one Descriptor element for the modification date.
...
Example on level one |
| |||||||
Example on level two |
|
Apart from the Identifier, modified date and type, Descriptors with other semantic content can be used, see section 3.2.
...
- In this example the root Item has a Persistent Identifier.
Wiki Markup The identifier MUST be an URI. Some repositories can make use of registered URIs, e.g., in the Netherlands the repositories can make use of National Bibliography Numbers. If a repository doesn't have access to registered URIs, UUIDs or TAGs can be used. More information about UUIDs can be found at \[http://en.wikipedia<ac:structured-macro ac:name="anchor" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="835bb8714f931f7c-240d724f-4b4640cd-9599bd52-a01fd7cb5e02730bd8ee1419"><ac:parameter ac:name="">_Hlt190750088</ac:parameter></ac:structured-macro><ac:structured-macro ac:name="anchor" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="4b8dfcc62f003ce7-9a29e8f8-415941e5-82958c21-4ebf99aff6656ac2cf6669c5"><ac:parameter ac:name="">_Hlt190750089</ac:parameter></ac:structured-macro>.org/wiki/UUID\|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUID\] and for TAGs the best starting point is [http://www.taguri.org/|http://www.taguri.org/]. TAGs for the repository of Tilburg University could be constructed in the following way. All TAGs start with 'tag:uvt.nl,<year>:<record id>'. <year> is the year that the compound object entered the repository. The URIs for MODS records can look like 'tag:uvt.nl,<year>:<record id>/mods' and the URIs for object files can look like 'tag:uvt.nl,<year>:<record id>/<file id>'.
- The identifiers of the root Item and the second level Item elements SHOULD NOT be equal to the OAI identifier or the DIDL document identifier.
- Identifiers should not change. Different identifier implies a different object.
- The namespace for dii SHOULD be declared in the DIDL tag.
