MPEG-7 Harmonization with Dublin Core: Current Status and Concerns
Jane Hunter, Jessica Martínez, Erik Oltmans · 2000
This document presents the current status of the harmonization of MPEG-7 with Dublin Core. It provides mappings between both qualified and unqualified Dublin Core and MPEG-7 Descriptors (Ds) (in the context of their container Description Schemes (DSs)). This mapping also highlights a certain number of problems and concerns with the current MPEG-7 Multimedia DSs and Ds. Section 2 provides a brief overview of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. Section 3 provides a mapping between unqualified Dublin Core and MPEG-7 Ds and DSs. Section 4 provides a mapping between qualified Dublin Core (as recommended by the DC Usage Committee) and MPEG-7 Ds and DSs. Section 5 lists the concerns and issues with the MDS which have been raised as a result of performing these mappings.
