Notes
Resource Type
- DC type element.
- Use on both Simple and Qualified DC templates.
- Discrepancy between DC authorities for label: "Resource Type" (User Guide) and "Type" (Element Set Version 1.1).
- Use value list ("DC Resource Type" taxonomy) from DCMI Type Vocabulary:
- Collection
- Dataset
- Event
- Image
- Interactive resource
- Moving image
- Physical object
- Service
- Software
- Sound
- Still image
- Text
- Does not map to any existing core Qubit field.
- Handle by Qubit custom field (property::name="resource_type" value=" ").
- Note similarity to custom field in RAD template for managing RAD General material designation.
- Move to core Qubit field in information_object table?
Format
- DC format element.
- Use only on Simple DC template; in Qualified DC, splits into separate fields for Extent and Medium.
- Maps to Qubit information_object::extent_and_medium field.
Extent
- DC extent qualifier (refines DC format element).
- Use only on Qualified DC template.
- Does not map to any existing core Qubit field (partially overlaps with information_object::extent_and_medium).
- Handle via Qubit property::name="dc_extent" value=" ".
Medium
- DC medium qualifier (refines DC format element).
- Use only on Qualified DC template.
- Does not map to any existing core Qubit field (partially overlaps with information_object::extent_and_medium).
- Handle by Qubit custom field (property::name="dc_medium" value=" ").
Description
- DC description element.
- Use on both Simple and Qualified DC templates.
- Maps to Qubit information_objectscope_and_content field.
Abstract
- DC abstract qualifier (refines DC description element).
- Use on Qualified DC template only.
- Does not map to any existing core Qubit field.
- Handle by Qubit custom field (property::name="abstract" value=" ").
- Note correlation with EAD <abstract> and MODS <abstract> elements.
Table of contents
- DC tableOfContents qualifier (refines DC description element).
- Use on Qualified DC template only.
- Does not map to any existing core Qubit field.
- Handle by Qubit custom field (property::name="table_of_contents" value=" ").
- Note correlation with MODS <tableOfContents> element.
Language / Script of material
- DC language element.
- Use on DC Simple template; for DC Qualified, move to Access and use area div (better manage screen real estate).
- Maps to Qubit property::information_object_language and property::information_object_script
Rights management
- DC rights element.
- Use on DC Simple template; for DC Qualified, move to Access and use area div (better manage screen real estate).
- Discrepancy between DC authorities for label: "Rights Management" (User Guide) and "Rights" (Element Set Version 1.1).
- Content maps to 2 Qubit fields: information_object::access_conditions and information_object::reproduction_conditions.
- Recommend handling as Qubit property, reserving core Qubit fields for direct mapping to DC qualifiers (accessRights and licenses).
