FW: [stdsreg] Standards Registry Metadata Definition, v1.5

[Makx Dekkers <mail@makxdekkers.com>]

After the call and things that were discussed, I have slightly
modified the message that I tried to send yesterday.

Below you will find the tentative mapping I have made for the
Standards Registry Metadata Definition v1.5, with changes that were
discussed yesterday.

Makx.

Document number                                                  
   DC.Identifier (could be the URI to the resource if available
   electronically, or a catalogue number otherwise)
Scope/abstract/problem space                                     
   DC.Description.Abstract
Taxonomy/classification                                   
   DC.Subject with SCHEME qualifier (Diffuse, ICS?)
Keywords                                                         
   DC.Subject
Current status                                                   
   (no draft | draft | final)  
   DC.Type with private SCHEME qualifier
Action date
   DC.Date (note that for various phases, qualifiers for Date
   could be used, e.g. DC.Date.Created, DC.Date.Accepted,
   DC.Date.Issued)
Referenced standards                                             
   DC.Relation.References
Equivalent standards (?)                                            
   DC.Relation with private element refinement qualifier,
   e.g. DC.Relation.Equivalent (please note that there is
   activity in the DC-Accessibility group that also looks at
   issues related to 'equivalent' resources, e.g. one resource
   in two version for different impairments - although it would
   be maybe bizarre to look at Windows and UNIX as different
   impairments :-)
Superceded standards                                             
   DC.Relation.Replaces
Previous versions                                                
   DC.Relation.Replaces or IsVersionOf
Format                                                           
   DC.Format
Rights
   DC.Rights
Price                                                            
   (There is no element for this in DC and none is planned; is this
   information not too unstable to include in the metadata record?)
Available from                                                   
   (There is no element for this in DC, although there are
   proposals to include it in some form in cases where the resource
   is only available in non-digital form, including books and museum
   artefacts)

One additional element that may be required is DC.Language (the
language of the resource - I think some standards bodies publish
standards in more than one language). Would this also be a type of
'equivalent standard'?

Concerning the SDO contact table:
SDO name                         
SDO acronym                      
SDO address                       
SDO phone                         
SDO fax                           
SDO E-mail                        
SDO URL                          
SDO Contact                      

These elements describe the committee - this is not a type of
'resource' that DC currently supports. There is a working group in
DCMI (DC-Agents) that works on this.


Hope this helps, Makx
