This WWW document is a small controlled vocabulary for the DC element Type. it lists the names of the vocabulary terms used for this element and provides a brief definition. These controlled vocabulary terms have all been approved by the DCMI Usage Board. A new vocabulary term, Physical Object was added in the last year.

This is the most recent (published August 26, 2003), newly revised, official guide to using the DC elements, available freely via the WWW. The previous version of this document was published in 2001. The new version provides more examples for the elements. it also streamlines the distinctions between using DC in one of two levels: simple and qualified. The Bibliography covers the years 1994 through mid-2003 and lists more than 100 entries and is arranged by year. Diane Hillman is the author of the base document titled Using Dublin Core. But, in the tradition of WWW resources, which seldom have one creator, others have contributed sections. The whole document is available by following hyperlinks in the Table of Contents.

The Learning Technologies Standards Committee has been working on Learning Object metadata for a long time and it is now a fully approved IEEE standard. A joint memorandum was signed in 2001 by IEEE and Dublin Core agreeing to work together on the development of the educational elements of the metadata.

This document provides detailed help on the definition of electronic resources, how to determine form and type and on ‘integrating resources.’ it is a good background document to read although it is a guide for using MARC in electronic resources cataloging.

This online form is part of the University of San Diego’s TPOT, Technical Processing Online Tools website, which has been serving the libraries since 1994. This site shows how electronic government documents and other genres of electronic resources are fast becoming standard items for description in the library catalog. The related websites cataloging practice section is an especially good one to read. Common bibliographic relationships among web documents are described.
