DCMI Metadata Terms

General metadata properties and classes intended for combination with other vocabularies.

Identity and normative owner

Record: dcterms; record authority: Modeling. Normative owner of subject: DCMI Usage Board. Resource reference: https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/ Registration is for discovery, not adoption, endorsement, or transfer of normative ownership.

Editions

  • 2020-01-20: DCMI Recommendation. Named edition for identification, not a claim that it is the newest edition.

Distributions and references

  • dcterms-documentation — documentation, text/html, en. Rights are assessed per distribution in the record. Unassessed rights do not imply permission to redistribute.

Verification scope

  • metadata-observed (2026-09-17): Landing-page/specification metadata only; no distribution bytes, legal clearance, current-latest guarantee, or implementation conformance was verified.

Cautions

  • Registration does not assert normative adoption, endorsement, or redistribution permission.
