qualified Dublin Core
Qualified Dublin Core is an enhanced version of the basic Dublin Core metadata standard used to describe digital resources like websites, documents, or images. While the basic Dublin Core includes simple labels like "title" or "creator," the qualified version adds more specific details by using additional "qualifiers" or sub-elements. This allows for more precise and detailed descriptions—for example, specifying the role of a creator or the language of the resource—making it easier for users and systems to find, understand, and organize digital content effectively.
