These rules are designed to make metadata entry straightforward and standard. This is currently a changing document.
DC Title
- use the title coded in the html metadata as "officialtitle"
- if this is not available, use what appears to be the title on the homepage by using visual cues:
- appears near the top of the document
- appears on multiple pages of the website
- uses a larger, colored, and/or different font than the main text
- if the html metadata title differs from the homepage title, enter the html title under "DC Title" and the qualifier "officialtitle," then select "add" for a second title, and select the qualifier, "alternatetitle"
- if other title(s) appear elsewhere in the site, add them as alternate titles as well (or select the qualifier that best describes each title)
DC Creator
- distinguishing between Creator / Contributor / Publisher may be difficult
- "An entity primarily responsible for making the content of the resource. Examples of Creator include a person, an organization, or a service. Typically, the name of a Creator should be used to indicate the entity."
- currently, do not enter titles (such as Ms., Dr. , Rev.)
- enter names in this format: Last, First
- use qualifiers to note specific role, when possible
- example: for the Access America e-zine website, Patricia Wood is marked as "Creator" and qualified as "editor" (she was the editor-in-chief)
DC Subject
- enter as many and as specific subject terms as possible to encourage discovery
- controlled vocabulary: LIV
- obtain subjects by:
- reading/evaluating site
- site description
- "about" or "intro" page
DC Description
- use the description coded in the html metadata as "description"
- if this is not available, look on the homepage and rest of website for a summary, abstract, description, or "about us" page
- if this is not available, write a brief description of the site
DC Contributor
- distinguishing between Creator / Contributor / Publisher may be difficult
- “An entity responsible for making contributions to the content of the resource. Examples of Contributor include a person, an organization, or a service. Typically, the name of a Contributor should be used to indicate the entity.”
- in the example mentioned under "Creator," the non-editorial staff were classed as "Contributor"
- these examples could be either left without qualifiers (since the site calls them "contributors"), or qualified as "correspondent"
- when possible, use qualifiers to illuminate the role of each contributor
DC Publisher
- distinguishing between Creator / Contributor / Publisher may be difficult
- may often be the Government Agency responsible for the site
- “An entity responsible for making the resource available. Examples of Publisher include a person, an organization, or a service. Typically, the name of a Publisher should be used to indicate the entity.”
- like Creator, currently, do not enter titles (such as Ms., Dr. , Rev.)
- like Creator, enter personal names in this format: Last, First
- enter full agency names; do not use acronyms/abbreviations
DC Identifier
- currently, use the URL (permalink)
DC Source
DC Relation
DC Language
- default English (eng), unless other languages are included
DC Coverage
- input the time period, place name, single date, and/or date range
- in most cases, place name = United States
- for a "snapshot" of a website, enter a date range
- example: start date range: 1999-03-09 (date site first published online)
- end date range: 2001-01-03 (date of capture)
DC Date
- format
- year-month-day (four-digit year, two-digit month and day)
- i.e.: 2001-01-03 for January 3, 2001
- follow CRS practice of dating days as “01,” if the specific date was not recorded
- i.e., if you have "August 2001," enter 2001-08-01
- currently, there are no qualifiers for date, thus:
enter the site creation date (if present) if there isn't one, use the last modified date (if present) if there isn't one, use the harvest date
Future DC Date Thoughts
- enter each of these various kinds of dates (repeatable), and select the appropriate qualifiers:
- site creation date
- will not always be present; optional
- qualifier: "sitecreationdate?"
- site last modified date
- will not always be present; optional
- qualifier: "modifieddate?"
- harvest date
- for this information, see: G:/digital projects/CyberCemetery/CCdocumentation.xls
- qualifier: "harvestdate?"
- date made public (on CC)
- for this information, see: G:/digital projects/CyberCemetery/CCdocumentation.xls
- qualifier: "publicdate?"
- metadata creation
- metadata modification
DC Resource Type
currently, use "interactive_resource" for website- adding qualifier "website"
DC Format
currently, use "other" - adding qualifier "website"
DC Rights
Institution
Collection
- select "UNTGD"
- added option "GDCC" (use both)
System
Digital Objects
- enter the number of digital objects (files) associated with the website
Permalink
- enter the permalink/URL here
