DublinCore

DublinCore Resources

The DublinCore is "A metadata format defined on the basis of international consensus which has defined a minimal information resource description, generally for use in a WWW environment." "Dublin Core metadata is specifically intended to support resource discovery. The elements represent a broad, interdisciplinary consensus about the core set of elements that are likely to be widely useful to support resource discovery."

The PTK/CMF uses the DublinCore for standard classification of the objects.
