Dublin Core Metadata Initiative

The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative is a set of standards designed to help people describe and categorize digital information, like websites, documents, and images. It provides a simple and consistent way to create metadata, which is essential for organizing and retrieving online data. The initiative defines 15 core elements, such as title, creator, and date, allowing users to understand the content and context of resources easily. This helps improve searchability and accessibility, making it easier for people to find the information they need in an increasingly digital world.
