ISEAL Core Schema Specification
This page provides a reference specification for the ISEAL Core Schema.
In this documentation we list metadata requirements, provide controlled vocabularies, and share technical information about the schema.
ISEAL Core currently uses fields from the following standard metadata schemas:
- Dublin Core Elements with the
dc namespace prefix. These were originally designated in 1995 and are considered deprecated and superseded by Dublin Core Terms. Due to legacy code in the DSpace software we must still use some of these.
- Dublin Core Terms with the
dcterms namespace prefix. These contain the original Dublin Core Terms and add others. As of 2008 these supercede the original Dublin Core Elements.
General guidelines for metadata using the ISEAL Core Schema:
- Encoding: metadata should be encoded in UTF-8 to ensure correct representation of international characters.
- Applicability: metadata should describe what the item is, not what it isn't. If a metadata field is not applicable you should not use it. Do not enter "N/A"!
