[Metadatalibrarians] Simple Dublin Core element for journal volume and issue number?

[Hammond, Tony]

Hi Christine:

In the STM world we have a well-defined vocabulary for dealing with
precisely this level of granularity - PRISM (Publisher Requirements for
Industry Standard Metadata) [1].

Note that the recent PRISM 2.1 release has 58 terms in its core vocabulary.
(See [2] for a quick comparison chart of PRISM vocab through historical
versions - this is a reworking of an RSS 1.0 module for PRISM.)

We are putting out qrticle descriptions over various channels (RSS, HTML,
XMP, OAI, etc.) and using DC plus PRISM terms. See this as an example from
an RSS feed (same data is enocded in the HTML and XMP):

<item rdf:about="http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/460551a">
<title>Information overload</title>
<link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/460551a</link>
<description>A report released last week by the US National Academies makes
recommendations for tackling the issues surrounding the era of petabyte
science.</description>
