No adjustment. The DSpace DC element is produced by concatenating three OCW elements. One of those elements, Semester, has been previously been referred to as the Version element. |
Description |
dc.description.abstract |
Basic concepts of computer modeling in science and engineering using discrete particle systems and continuum fields. Techniques and software for statistical sampling, simulation, data analysis and visualization. Use of statistical, quantum chemical, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, mesoscale and continuum methods to study fundamental physical phenomena encountered in the fields of computational physics, chemistry, mechanics, materials science, biology, and applied mathematics. Applications drawn from a range of disciplines to build a broad-based understanding of complex structures and interactions in problems where simulation is on equal-footing with theory and experiment. Term project allows development of individual interest. Student mentoring by a coordinated team of participating faculty from across the Institute. |

This element is in the DSpace record, but I can find no source in the OCW metadata. |

Yip, Sidney |
Currently there are three Contribution Roles (Author, Contributor, Content Provider) and all of them are mapped to dc.contributor.author. In the future there will be five roles (Course Instructor, Creator, Publisher, Composer, Performer), and all but the Publisher role will map to the dc.contributor.author. |

dc.coverage.temporal |
Spring 2006 |
No adjustment. |
Publication Date |
dc.date.issued |
2006-06 |
I can not find the source of this element in OCW metadata. It appears that the stylesheet transform from IEEE LOM to DSpace DC infers a date from the dc.coverage.temporal field. In the future this date should be taken from the publication date newly included in course metadata and reflect not when the course was taught, but when OCW published the course. |

Will we keep doing this? |
Relation (to earlier versions of the course) |
dc.relation.replaces |
The DSpace element used in the past has been dc.relation.isbasedon. OCW is changing the semantics of this relationship and DSpace should as well. |

This is a new field that OCW records and would like included in the DSpace Item records for OCW courses. |
Technical Requirements |
dc.description.none |

In the future we will record descriptions of technical requirements at the Course level. |

Classification |
dc.subject.classification |
? |
A classification taxonomy needs to be identified and adopted by OCW, at which point this field should be crosswalked to the DSpace Item metadata. |
