# RDF Dublin Core Metadata Initiative * * * The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) has created a set of predefined properties for describing documents. * * * ## Dublin Core RDF is metadata (data about data). RDF is used to describe information resources. Dublin Core is a set of predefined properties for describing documents. The first Dublin Core properties were defined in 1995 by the Metadata Workshop in Dublin, Ohio, and are currently maintained by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. | Property | Definition | | --- | --- | | Contributor | An entity primarily responsible for making contributions to the content of the resource (e.g., author). | | Coverage | The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant, or the regime of applicability. | | Creator | An entity primarily responsible for making the resource (e.g., author, artist). | | Format | The physical or digital manifestation of the resource. | | Date | A date associated with an event in the life cycle of the resource. | | Description | An account of the content of the resource. | | Identifier | An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context. | | Language | The language of the intellectual content of the resource. | | Publisher | An entity responsible for making the resource available. | | Relation | A reference to a related resource. | | Rights | Information about rights held in and over the resource. | | Source | A reference to a resource from which the present resource is derived. | | Subject | The topic of the resource. | | Title | A name given to the resource. | | Type | The nature or genre of the resource. | By reviewing the table above, we can see that RDF is well-suited for representing Dublin Core information. * * * ## RDF Example The following example demonstrates the use of Dublin Core properties in an RDF document: Run Noob - Run, Rookie!
