Dublin Core

Dublin Core is an open standard for labelling metadata.

Volity uses the DC vocabulary for some metadata in UI files -- common terms like title, creator, description and creation date.

(Volity-specific metadata such as version numbers are not described via DC, but rather by Volity-specific terms.)

All DC element types are legal, but Volity pays special attention to:

title
The title of the UI (or resource).
description
A longer explanation of the resource.
created
The date that the resource was created.
modified
The date that the resource was last modified.
creator
The name of the person who created the resource. (If more than one person was involved, you can use multiple creator elements.)
language
The language which this UI supports (as a [standard two-letter code]). (If the UI supports more than one language, yoy can use multiple language elements.)

For human-readable text in a particular language (such as title and description elements), you can add a xml:lang attribute to specify what language the element is in. It is reasonable to use multiple elements with different language attributes.

See the example on the metadata page.
