The attribute has the name dcx:valueURI. Note that the two examples above illustrate two alternate ways of representing the same information. The example below shows a description consisting of four statements where the fourth statement provides a value URI but no value representation. A value representation may take the form of a value string or a rich representation. A value string is represented by an XML element with the element name dcx:valueString. The example below shows a description consisting of four statements where the first three statements each include a value string.

A statement may contain multiple value strings , each represented by a separate dcx:valueString child XML element. The following example shows a description in which the first statement provides three value strings :.

The example below shows a description consisting of three statements where the first statement has an associated value string language "en-GB" with the value string "DCMI Home Page":. Note that these two examples illustrate two alternate ways of representing the same information. A value may also be represented by a rich representation - i. An XML data rich representation may be provided in two ways. The example below shows a description consisting of two statements where the second statement includes a rich representation of the value in the form of an XML fragment:.

A binary data rich representation may be provided in two ways. It may be provided "inline" within the DC-XML document or it may be provided as a separate resource, the URI of which is provided as an attribute value. Inline binary data is represented by the content of a Value Representation Element with the element name dcx:binaryRepresentation.

The XML element content is a Base64 encoding of the binary object. The example below shows a description consisting of two statements where the second statement includes a rich representation of the value in the form of a binary data object:. The URI of external binary data is encoded as the value of the dcx:representationURI attribute of the dcx:binaryRepresentation element:. Where the language of the value is indicated, it should be encoded using the 'xml:lang' attribute.

There are several reasons for wanting to do this including the need for DC-based metadata applications to incorporate semantics that are not available within the DCMES and the desire to incorporate DCMES elements within other metadata applications. Here are two simple examples:. Note that ODRL uses structural conventions i.

This may also be true for other metadata applications, such as IMS. Such relationships are well documented elsewhere and may be expressed in machine understandable ways in schema definitions.

Others suggest using element containment, with XML elements representing refinements nested within XML elements representing the elements they refine.

For example. Neither of these approaches is recommended by these guidelines. However, it may be sensible for software applications that consume DCQ in XML to accept either of these alternative representations, assuming it is correctly and consistently applied. Some implementors have suggested instead the use of conventions which are independent of a specific schema definition language.

One such convention is the use of a 'scheme' attribute of the XML element for the property. This approach is not recommended by these guidelines. However, it may be sensible for software applications that consume DCQ in XML to accept this alternative representation, assuming it is correctly and consistently applied. All Rights Reserved.

Terminology Resource a resource is anything that has identity. Familiar examples include an electronic document, an image, a service e. Not all resources are network "retrievable"; e. The text in the output area should be saved locally as dc. Hello Opher, thank you very much for posting this exceedingly helpful and straightforward tutorial.
