Information about a resource, often describing its provenance, format, ownership, location, history of modification, keywords, short description. The Dublin Core<\/a> specification is most commonly used in Digital Humanities to ensure that resources are described using a standardised common taxonomy. Within this, researchers may create their own “controlled vocabularies” to standardise the terms they use to describe resources for their research.

The original DCMES Version 1.1 consists of 15 metadata elements, defined this way in the original specification:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
