Dublin Core Metadata Initiative – Metadata Basics

• oneweekwonder 11y ago
  When I see dublin core, I think of that strange /dc/ in AD(sysadmin could not tell me why); or trying to understand RDF and EAV models. A bit off-topic, https://www.freebase.com/ https://www.freebase.com/ is read only now, when it closes down what other open db for meta data is there? Something I don't have to crawl and have a decent query language?

    There are various resources available through Dublin Core. http://dublincore.org/resources/ http://dublincore.org/resources/ Including translations, if you need them: http://dublincore.org/resources/translations/index.shtml http://dublincore.org/resources/translations/index.shtml There's also the Archive.org metadata repository. https://blog.archive.org/developers/ https://blog.archive.org/developers/ I _think_ the common crawl folks have a metadata repository as well.

  Dublin Core: sure to be useful any day now.. Or not. (Seriously, look at the Google Knowledge Vault paper, and pay attention to how much more accurate the data is that they get from non-metadata sources is).
