Dublin Core Metadata Element Set

The Dublin Core Metadata Element Set is a standard system for describing digital objects like websites, documents, or images. It uses a set of 15 common terms—such as title, creator, date, and type—to provide clear information about each item. This helps people and computers find, organize, and understand digital resources more easily by ensuring consistent, meaningful descriptions across different platforms and collections. Overall, it’s a straightforward way to share important details about digital content in a standardized format.
