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

[Schwartz, Christine]

Hi,

Thanks for all the help thinking through this Dublin Core issue. My
colleague and I came up with a solution. We've bypassed using DC
elements. Instead we used a locally-defined namespace we call "sort." We
had already used it for author and title, so I added volume and issue.
Using a Mark Logic function (xdmp:node-insert-after) and XQuery, I've
added these new elements to 258 METS documents. Here's what it looks
like:

<METS:dmdSec ID="dmd001">
        <METS:mdWrap MIMETYPE="text/xml" MDTYPE="DC" LABEL="Dublin Core
Metadata">
            <METS:xmlData>
                <dc:title>Theology Today 61:2</dc:title>
                <dc:date>2004</dc:date>
                <dc:identifier>issn:0040-5736</dc:identifier>
                <dc:publisher>Princeton, NJ: Princeton Theological
Seminary</dc:publisher>
                <dc:type>Journal</dc:type>
                <dc:source>Theology Today</dc:source>
                <dc:format>25 cm.</dc:format>
                <dc:description>Theology Today is published quarterly
(January, April, July, and
                    October) by Princeton Theological Seminary in
Princeton, NJ and printed at CPC
                    Science Press Div. in Ephrata, PA.</dc:description>
                <dc:rights>Copyright (c) Princeton Theological
Seminary</dc:rights>
                <sort:title
xmlns:sort="http://digital.library.ptsem.edu/sort">Theology Today 61
                    2</sort:title>
                <sort:volume
xmlns:sort="http://digital.library.ptsem.edu/sort">61</sort:volume>
                <sort:issue
xmlns:sort="http://digital.library.ptsem.edu/sort">2</sort:issue>
            </METS:xmlData>
        </METS:mdWrap>
    </METS:dmdSec>

I guess we totally copped out of being interoperable, but for now this
works.

I do have one more question about Qualified Dublin Core (since I'm
shamefully ignorant on this topic). What is this syntax:
dc.identifier.citation, dc.contributor.sponsor, dc.date.issued, etc. Is
it implementation-specific?

Thanks,
 
Chris
