Dublin Core module

Thu, 2007-03-08 21:52 — mark

A developer named Matthew Smith has started work on a module that will allow the addition of Dublin Core (basic elements plus a couple of qualified ones) to Drupal nodes. From the project's "About" page:

The Dublin Core for Drupal module will provide:

  1. A means to edit and create per-node metadata
  2. (Possible feature) Per-user defaults for the likes of DC.creator, DC.rights and DCTERMS.license
  3. The ability to have multiple instances of an element, provided that each instance has a different lang (language) property.
  4. A function which can be inserted into the part of the themes page.tpl.php which will render:
    • Dublin Core metadata elements
    • Links to schemes
    • "Legacy" metadata elements keywords and description, converted from DC.subject and DC.description, on-the-fly (if required).
    • A relative link to a license URI, if a value of DCTERMS.license is present.

Matthew is also working on a companion metadata extraction module called DCMetaSpider.
