Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) Usage Board
As a member of the DCMI Usage Board, the German National Library works on the development and dissemination of DCMI Metadata Terms. The committee's task is to maintain and develop the DCMI Metadata Terms and the vocabularies associated with them. Aspects such as the compatibility of DCMI Metadata Terms with RDF (Resource Description Framework), semantic stability and backward compatibility play an important role in this context.
