[osis-core] Header

[Patrick Durusau]

Greetings,

Header:

Contains Dublin core elements:

Contributor

Title (only required element) (should combine with the other title 
element in the schema)

Creator (attribute pulls in roles)

Subject

Description

Publisher

Date (should combine with other date element in the schema)

Type

Format

Identifier (should we delete in favor of ID or just keep for compliance 
with Dublin Core?)

Source

Language (should we delete this since we have optional lang attributes?)

Relation

Coverage

Rights

revisionDesc (optional but if used, requires date and resp elements)

Note that these should all be simple string values. That is how it is 
handled in OEB and I suspect Dublin Core.


Attributes:

ews

ID

lang

type


Probably need some explanatory text as to what goes where, possibly an 
example or two, say using the TEV, NKJV, NIV, etc.?

Or could we grab http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.0/, which reads as follows:

   1. Title
      Label: Title
      The name given to the resource, usually by the Creator or Publisher..
   2. Author or Creator
      Label: Creator
      The person or organization primarily responsible for creating the
      intellectual content of the resource. For example, authors in the
      case of written documents, artists, photographers, or illustrators
      in the case of visual resources.
   3. Subject and Keywords
      Label: Subject
      The topic of the resource. Typically, subject will be expressed as
      keywords or phrases that describe the subject or content of the
      resource. The use of controlled vocabularies and formal
      classification schemas is encouraged.
   4. Description
      Label: Description
      A textual description of the content of the resource, including
      abstracts in the case of document-like objects or content
      descriptions in the case of visual resources.
   5. Publisher
      Label: Publisher
      The entity responsible for making the resource available in its
      present form, such as a publishing house, a university department,
      or a corporate entity.
   6. Other Contributor
      Label: Contributor
      A person or organization not specified in a Creator element who
      has made significant intellectual contributions to the resource
      but whose contribution is secondary to any person or organization
      specified in a Creator element (for example, editor, transcriber,
      and illustrator).
   7. Date
      Label: Date
      A date associated with the creation or availability of the
      resource. Recommended best practice is defined in a profile of ISO
      8601 ( http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime ) that includes (among
      others) dates of the forms YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD. In this scheme,
      the date 1994-11-05 corresponds to November 5, 1994.
   8. Resource Type
      Label: Type
      The category of the resource, such as home page, novel, poem,
      working paper, technical report, essay, dictionary. For the sake
      of interoperability, Type should be selected from an enumerated
      list that is under development in the workshop series.
   9. Format
      Label: Format
      The data format and, optionally, dimensions (e.g., size, duration)
      of the resource. The format is used to identify the software and
      possibly hardware that might be needed to display or operate the
      resource. For the sake of interoperability, the format should be
      selected from an enumerated list that is currently under
      development in the workshop series.
  10. Resource Identifier
      Label: Identifier
      A string or number used to uniquely identify the resource.
      Examples for networked resources include URLs and URNs (when
      implemented). Other globally-unique identifiers, such as
      International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN) or other formal names
      would also be candidates for this element.
  11. Source
      Label: Source
      Information about a second resource from which the present
      resource is derived. While it is generally recommended that
      elements contain information about the present resource only, this
      element may contain metadata for the second resource when it is
      considered important for discovery of the present resource.
  12. Language
      Label: Language
      The language of the intellectual content of the resource.
      Recommended best practice is defined in RFC 1766
      http://info.internet.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc1766.txt
  13. Relation
      Label: Relation
      An identifier of a second resource and its relationship to the
      present resource. This element is used to express linkages among
      related resources. For the sake of interoperability, relationships
      should be selected from an enumerated list that is currently under
      development in the workshop series.
  14. Coverage
      Label: Coverage
      The spatial and/or temporal characteristics of the intellectual
      content of the resource. Spatial coverage refers to a physical
      region (e.g., celestial sector) using place names or coordinates
      (e.g., longitude and latitude). Temporal coverage refers to what
      the resource is about rather than when it was created or made
      available (the latter belonging in the Date element). Temporal
      coverage is typically specified using named time periods (e.g.,
      Neolithic) or the same date/time format (
      http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime ) as recommended for the Date
      element.
  15. Rights Management
      Label: Rights
      A rights management statement, an identifier that links to a
      rights management statement, or an identifier that links to a
      service providing information about rights management for the
      resource.
