With university publications place the name of the faculty and/or research group or research school after the name of the university.
In the case of organizations where there is clearly a hierarchy present, list the parts of the hierarchy from largest to smallest, separated by full stops. If it is not clear whether there is a hierarchy present, or unclear which is the larger or smaller portion of the body, give the name as it appears in the eprint.
The use of publisher names from authority lists constructed according to local or national thesaurus files is optional.

In the DC element 'date' the most notable differences occur between acting as a data provider based on basic DC unqualified and DC qualified. Where values in other DC elements could - within reason - be interpreted by the user, the values in the date element are excactly similar and context (provided by the DC refinements) is necessary to interpret the values. Based on these observations the following is stated.

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="487c537f106e07da-138af628-4e5e45e9-a9e28346-7d03b1bd3f016b14a7763dd5"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[Basic DC unqualified: use the DC element 'date' for the value [of the refinement]: 'date created'.

Type

Element name

Type

DCMI definition

The type of scientific output the resource is a manifestation of. In the DC element type the kind of dissemination, or the intellectual and/or content type of the resource is described. It is used to explain to the user what kind of resource he is looking at. Is it a book or an article. Was it written for internal or external use. Etc.

Usage

Mandatory. In every metadata record one DC element 'type' should be used.

User instruction

Use the first occurrence of the DC element 'type' for the type indication of the scientific output. The list shown below is identical with the list used within the Metis application. Repeat if applicable. Use the text, not the numbers.

  1. Annotation
  2. Article / Letter to editor
  3. Article in monograph or in proceedings
  4. Book (monograph)

]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro>

Usage

Recommended

User instruction

The DC element 'format' is used in order to give DARE partners the necessary context to base services on. A DARE partner can selectively harvest those records that link to resources that use or operate on software, hardware or other equipment that is supported by the DARE partner's institute.

More than one object linked to one specific resource.
If one specific resource (an instance of scientific output) has more then one physical formats (e.g. postscript and pdf) stored as different object files, all formats are mentioned in the DC element 'format', for example:

<dc:format>application/pdf</dc:format>
<dc:format>application/postscript</dc:format>

Identifier

DCMI definition

An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context.

Usage

Mandatory

User instruction

Use an URI to point to the resource (metadata).
If the metadata record has one related object file, then dc:identifier contains a link (uri) to the object file OR to a jump off page.
If the metadata record has more than one related object files, then dc:identifier contains a link (uri) to a jump off page.

Jump off pages must also be used when linking to a pre- or postprint, HTML version or any other situation where additional info must be given to the user.

Example

Open URL syntax example:

http://sfx.leidenuniv.nl:9003/sfx_local?sid=SilverPlatter:MEDS&isbn=&atitle=Future%20training%20needs%20in%20the%20pharmaceutical%20sciences%3a%20academia%20--%20industry%2e&title=European-journal-of-pharmaceutical-sciences-official-journal-of-the-European-Federation-for-Pharmaceutical-Sciences&issn=0928-0987&date=2001&volume=12&issue=4&spage=347&pid=%3CAN%3E11231100%3C/AN%3E%3CAU%3EBreimer%2c-D-D%3C/AU%3E

where 'openurl' represents the 'base url'-part and 'sid' the 'source id'-part.

The Open url points to the services window of the open url resolver, in the example: the SFX services window. In the open url approach one cannot point to the object itself.

The handle system used in DSpace for example also points to a jump off page. See for instance: http://hdl.handle.net/1765/1473

On this page the url to the object can also be found:
https://ep.eur.nl/retrieve/3344/ERS+2004+058+LIS.pdf

but there is not a necessarily nor intrinsic relation between the two URIs.

Also a doi can be used as an uri-- see for instance: doi:10.1016/j.jcss.2003.10.001

A language of the intellectual content of the resource.

Usage

Recommended

User instruction

A specific resource (an instance of scientific output) is either written in one human readable language or more. In these cases all used languages are used in the DC element 'language'. If a specific resource (an instance of scientific output) is written in one human readable language and is translated into other human readable languages, these translations are distinguished from the original version and therefore described separately.
Best Practice: we use Arent Bosman (Delft University of Technology) pointed out the W3.org rule for the correct "Choice of language tag". ISO 639-1 and by doing so we follow:
http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-lang-2or3.html

where is stated:

Rule 2 in Section 2.3, Choice of language tag, in RFC 3066, says:
"When a language has both an ISO 639-1 2-character code and an ISO 639-2
3-character code, you MUST use the tag derived from the ISO 639-1
2-character code."

ISO 639-1 is the alpha-2 code. Multiple codes for the same language are to be considered synonyms.
<dc:language>en</dc:language>
If necessary, repeat this element to indicate multiple languages.

Relation

Element name

Relation

DCMI definition

The reference to a related resource.

Usage

Recommended

User instruction

Recommended best practice is to reference the resource by means of a string or number conforming to a formal identification system.
The DC element 'relation' can be used to indicate different kinds of relations between several metadata records

If relations between metadata records are made visible by using metadata the following holds for the distinction between versions.

Do not confuse with

dc:identifier and dc:source.
