|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Identifier | 1 and only 1 | URI | A globally unique, persistent expression associated with the Resource. | Each repository will assign an identifier to the resources within its collections. Resources are individual components of a course. Resources in different repositories that contain the same content are not considered identical and should not share identifiers, however, they should reference each other via the identifiers assigned by each repository. Both DSpace and OCW use URIs as resource identifiers, Stellar should adopt a similar practice. | http://ocw.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/OcwWeb/Chemistry/5-37Spring-2009/MIT5_37s09_lec01_Mod7 | |||||||||
Title | 1 and only 1 | String | The name given to the Resource. This name should be taken from the Resource itself, whenever possible. |
| Packing of Secondary Structures | |||||||||
Description | 1 and only 1 | String | A textual description of the content of the Resource. | Whenever possible use abstracts or other descriptions found on the resource. | Lecture presentation on global supply chains and competition across the China Straits. | Status |

Contributor | 1 or more | Agent | The name of a person or organization that has contributed to the preparation of the Resource. Authority Control should be | provided in choosing the form of the contributor's name. Each assigned Contributor should be paired with a Contributor Role element that appropriately characterizes the contribution. There are four kinds of Contributors: Creato The form of contributor names should be controlled and consistently applied across all three course-content systems. This requires a shared resource that defines preferred forms of names, cross references variant forms, and provides identifying information for each contributor. MIT OpenCourseWare is developing such a resource for its own collections. If possible, this resource should be shared with the other course-content systems. Contributions should be characterized by the role of the contributor. A vocabulary of roles should be adopted. MIT OpenCourseWare uses the following candidate vocabulary: Course Instructor, Creator. Course Instructors are those members of the MIT faculty primarily responsible for course preparation and instruction. Creators are those individuals other than Course Instructors that are responsible for course content. | Lakhani, Karim | |||||||||
Publisher | 1 and only 1 | Agent | The name of the course-content system in which the Resource was produced and disseminated. | This element allows the three DOS course-content systems to put their imprimatur on resources they have produced. Values for this element should be restricted to the names of the DOS systems. It is unlikely that the DSpace value will ever be used. Courses are published in either Stellar or OCW and are merely transferred to DSpace. DSpace will record the name of system in which the course was originally published. | "MIT OpenCourseWare" or "DSpace@MIT" or "Stellar Course Management System" | |||||||||
Publication Date | For each Publisher 1 and only 1 | DateTime | The publication date for the Resource. date a the resource was made available to the audience of a course-content system. | A publication date will be assigned by each system. This date corresponds to the day when access to the resource is first allowed by the system. Stellar's publication date is the resource creation date. The DSpace publication date is the date the resource is deposited in the repository. Resources deposited in DSpace are immediately available to the public. OCW records the date they first ran the resource through the publication engine. Values for this element This element accompanies every Publisher element. Its value is the date the Resource was first published by MIT OpenCourseWare and should conform to the ISO 8601 date and time format standard. | 8/25/2008 | 2007-04-16 | ||||||||

| Credit | 0 or 1 | String | A brief description of the allowance under which a resource is included in MIT OpenCourseWare publications. Usually identifies the person or organization that has granted usage rights to MIT OpenCourseWare. | This element applies primarily to image resources, but it is applicable to any resource that is used by the permission of it's rights holder. This element is often used to satisfy attribution requirements for the use of a Resource. | The name of the course-content system in which the course resides, and its state within that system. | A vocabulary of states needs to be identified. Potential values for OCW are Unpublished, Staging, Published, Archived. | Photo by shinyai on Flickr. | |
Language | 1 or more | ISO 639-1 | The languages in which the Resource is taught. | Values for this element should conform to the ISO 639-1 standard for two letter encoding of languages.

Aggregation Level | 1 and only 1 | Controlled Vocabulary | The granularity kind of the Resource in the OCW object from the DOS content model . | Use the IEEE LOM defined controlled vocabulary for this element. In that vocabulary there are four allowable values “4”, “3”, “2”, and “1”, where 4 = Course, 3 = Section, 2 = Resource, 1 = Object. The value of this element for Resources will always be “2” | described by the metadata record. | There are only two kinds of objects for which metadata definitions have been created: Courses and Resources. Courses are equivalent to OCW Courses and Stellar Sites. Resources are equivalent to OCW Resources and Stellar Materials. Both Courses and Resources are likely DSpace Items. | Resource 2 | |||||||
Location | 1 and only 1 | URL | The url at which the Resource may be found. | This element should always start with “http://” and contain the full address. | ||||||||||
Format | 1 and only 1 | Internet Media Type | The MIME type of the Resource file. | Allowable values should be restricted to those registered with the IANA (see http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/). | application/pdf | |||||||||
Size | 1 and only 1 | Non-negative Integer | The size of the Resource in bytes. The value of this element should be automatically populated. |

Technical Requirements | 0 or 1 | String | A textual description of software and hardware requirements for consuming the Resource. If applicable, one field should aggregate all requirements that may apply to the Resource. The requirement declarations should conform to the vocabulary of such statements | This element is optional.The use of rights metadata is not consistent across all three course-content systems. OCW and DSpace make courses available to the general public while Stellar content is typically available only to students and faculty. This engenders different intellectual property use policies and different rights metadata requirements. | Scheme software is required to run this .scm file. | |||||||||
Educational Context | 1 or more | Controlled Vocabulary | The MIT level of study for which the Resource is appropriate. | This element is governed by a controlled vocabulary. Resource metadata should inherit values for this element from the metadata for the Course(s) to which the Resource belongs.

Rights | 1 or more | String | The statement of copyright associated with the Resource. | The OCW copyright statement should be standard for all Resources and identical with the example provided. | How can we define and communicate rights in common level? This is more a Policy level question in MIT level. | use of rights metadata is not consistent across all three course-content systems. OCW and DSpace make courses available to the general public while Stellar content is typically available only to students and faculty. This engenders different intellectual property use policies and different rights metadata requirements. |

Credit | 0 or 1 | String | A statement of allowance under which the Resource is included within its Course. Usually identifies the person or organization that has granted usage rights. | This is a form of rights metadata that is not exactly the same as a copyright statement. The copyright statement informs the user of the copyright status, owner, and allowable uses of the resource. The credit line is intended to satisfy attribution requirements by identifying the rights granting agency. | Photo by shinyai on Flickr. | Relation Kind | For each Relation 1 and only 1 | Controlled Vocabulary | A characterization of the kind of relationship identified by the Relation element. | This element should accompany every Relation element. Values should conform to the Dublin Core relation element refinements: http://purl.org/dc/terms/conformsTo, http://purl.org/dc/terms/hasFormat, http://purl.org/dc/terms/hasPart, http://purl.org/dc/terms/hasVersion, http://purl.org/dc/terms/isFormatOf, http://purl.org/dc/terms/isPartOf, http://purl.org/dc/terms/isReferencedBy, http://purl.org/dc/terms/isReplacedBy, http://purl.org/dc/terms/isRequiredBy, http://purl.org/dc/terms/isVersionOf, http://purl.org/dc/terms/references, http://purl.org/dc/terms/replaces, http://purl.org/dc/terms/requires, .
