Dublin Core Metadata Element Set - 13 Elements

elements, named the
A set of thirteen metadata elements, named the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. The Dublin Core was proposed as the minimum number of metadata elements required to facilitate the discovery of document-like objects in a networked environment such as the Internet. The syntax was deliberately left unspecified as an implementation detail. The semantics of these elements was intended to be clear enough to be understood by a wide range of users.
