[Metadatalibrarians] Metadatalibrarians Digest, Vol 58, Issue 2

[Robin Dean]

Hi Regina,

Check out the DCMI's "Guidelines for Encoding Bibliographic Citation Information in Dublin Core Metadata."

http://dublincore.org/documents/dc-citation-guidelines/

It looks like they recommend that, if you're using simple DC, you put the entire bibliographic citation into a dc:identifier field since the citation "effectively identifies the resource" (see section 3). You could also use dc:description. 

Hope this helps!

I'm mapping? elements for a journal article to unqualified Dublin Core. I've seen someone use the "dc:relation" element for? Volume, Issue, Start Page and End Page.? This doesn't make sense to me.? I would have used "identifier."
?
Does anyone point me to any guidelines for which?would be better?
?
Thank you,
