Created by Tom Habing, thabing@uiuc.edu and Tim Cole, t-cole3@uiuc.edu This schema defines the basic 15 Dublin Core elements. The default type used for all elements is SimpleLiteral. This corresponds to Simple DC, text only with an optional xml:lang attribute. For maximum flexibility the complexType definition for SimpleLiteral was based on the text type on the XML Schema Primer: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#textType This schema also includes the dcElementContainer complex type which is a convenience for people who included this schema and need to define a root or container element for the dc elements. Simple DC XML Schema Tom Habing, thabing@uiuc.edu Tim Cole, t-cole3@uiuc.edu http://www.dublincore.org/documents/dces/ Title A name given to the resource. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the content of the resource. Subject and Keywords The topic of the content of the resource. Description An account of the content of the resource.

Language A language of the intellectual content of the resource. Relation A reference to a related resource. Coverage The extent or scope of the content of the resource. Rights Management Information about rights held in and over the resource. This is included as a convience for schema authors who need to define a root or container element for all of the DC elements. This is the default type for all of the DC elements. It represents DC Simple, text only with optional xml:lang attribute. Text is allowed because mixed="true", but sub-elements are disallowed because minOccurs="0" and maxOccurs="0" are the xs:any tag. This complex type allows for maximum flexibility for restriction or extension. See the dc1.1complex.xsd schema for examples.
