International Standard for Dublin Core Metadata Published

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published ISO 15836:2003, Information and documentation - The Dublin Core metadata element set. The Dublin Core metadata standard provides a core set of 15 metadata elements for cross-domain information resource sharing. The ISO version is identical to ANSI/NISO Z39.85-2001. The issuance of the ISO standard provides the official international endorsement for use of the Dublin Core metadata.

A free downloadable pdf file of the ANSI/NISO version is available from the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) website:
