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.
Changes:

  1. Less strict remarks on the location of the namespace declarations.
  2. The number of Descriptors is unlimited.
  3. Type of a Digital Item is expressed as an URI being the value of the rdf:resource attribute of a rdf:type element.
  4. Type statements are also allowed at the top level.
  5. Instead of using not yet registered terms from info:eu-repo/semantics/, the terms from the Eprints Access Rights Vocabulary must be used for expressing the accessibility of an object
  6. For the date of deposit of an object in a repository dcterms:dateSubmitted is to be used (was dcterms:issued)

2.3.1

SURFshare

Minor change in the schema path. ISO changed the path .../dii.xsd/dii.xsd to .../dii/dii.xsd
Minor change in the examples the mimetype for humanStartPage resources changed from "application/html" to "text/html". "application/html" is not a valid mimetype.

A closer look at the recommendations of Herbert vd Sompel gave more insight in the DIDL semantics, and thus leading to a better XMLspecification.

0.1

NEEO

Changes with respect to version 2.3.1 of "MPEG21 DIDL Document Specifications for repositories" by Maurice Vanderfeesten (SURF)

  1. Relaxed the requirement that the top Item identifier must be persistent.
  2. More strict formulation for Item identifiers not being the same as the OAI identifier and the DIDL document identifier.
  3. Replaced dip:objectType by rdf:type.
  4. The use of simple Dublin Core is not mandatory and is not even recommended.
  5. MODS is the recommended metadata scheme.
  6. Left out all references to 'work' or 'expression'.
  7. Item elements stand for Digital Items (they are Digital Item Declarations). Type statements (using rdf:type) type the Digital Items.
  8. The use of identifiers (URIs) for Digital Items is mandatory.
  9. Added new semantics: publishedVersion|authorVersion, embargo, description, access rights.

 

Abstract

The abstract describes what the application profile is about. It should contain a problem definition, the standards described by the application profile and the goal of the application profile.

...


DIDL has been in use by the DARE community since the summer of 2006. One of the results is that the content of all Dutch repositories are now part of the E-Depot of the Royal Library, the national library of The Netherlands.

Compound and Digital Objects as Digital Items

...

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:

Code Block
<metadata> \\
<didl:DIDL ...> \\
<didl:Item> \\
<didl:Item>...</didl:Item> \\
<didl:Item>...</didl:Item> \\
<didl:Item>...</didl:Item> \\
</didl:Item> \\
</didl:DIDL> \\
</metadata> \\ \\
\\

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.

  1. Modifications MUST be made visible by changing the modification date. When there are no modifications the modification date can be left out from the second level Items.
  2. Changes of the modification date in child Item elements MUST be propagated to the parent Item element.
  3. When a Descriptor element for modification date is used also a Descriptor element with an identifier MUST be used (they go in pairs). Rationale: In order to compare similar harvested Item elements wrt modification date, an identifier must be added.
  4. For the second level Item elements:
    1. the "type" Descriptor element MUST always be used
    2. the "identifier" Descriptor element MUST be used in the metadata and objectfile Descriptor elements. This is optional for the jump-off page Descriptor element
    3. the "modification date" Descriptor element MAY be used in all of the second level Item elements.

<didl:Item>...</didl:Item> \\
... \\
</didl:Item> \\
</didl:DIDL> \\ \\
\\


Apart from the Identifier, modified date and type, Descriptors with other semantic content can be used, see section 3.2.

...

  1. Declare the dcterms namespace in the DIDL tag.
  2. The format of the date is Zulu-time; which means that it can be sorted as text.
  3. There can be only one Statement element in a Descriptor element, which means that dii:identifier and dcterms:modified reside in separate Descriptor elements.

 

Item 'type' Statement

(In Maurice Vanderfeesten (2008), "MPEG21 DIDL Document Specification for repositories", version 2.3.1, the dip:ObjectType is used. Here, this is replaced by rdf:type as more appropriate. For compatibility with Driver and SURFshare both Descriptors can be used. In "MPEG21 DIDL Application Profile for NEEO Repositories" the URI is placed as a literal in the content of the rdf:type element. This is not in line with the use of rdf. Service providers should be aware of these different versions of expressing the type of a Digital Item.)

...


Additional Descriptor elements can be used to describe certain aspects of the object file:

  • To indicate whether the file is a (exact copy of the) published version or the version of the author that is accepted by the publisher for publication a Descriptor with a type statement can be used. The proposal is to use the following URIs:
    • info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
    • info:eu-repo/semantics/authorVersion
      These proposed URIs are not yet officially registered.
