by the Mountain West Digital Library
Created by the Mountain West Digital Library (MWDL) Metadata Working Group in 2009/10, this profile superseded the Metadata Guidelines for the Mountain West Digital Library (2006). It is intended to guide the creation of new metadata (i.e., created after June 1, 2010) by members and contributing partners of the MWDL.
The MWDL Dublin Core Application Profile consists of six sections:
- I. Best Practices for All Fields
- II. Explanation of Table Components
- III. Element Tables (in alphabetical order)
- IV. Parsed Preservation Elements about Master Archival Files (Optional)
- V. Vocabulary Encoding Schemes
- VI. Syntax Encoding Schemes
