Metadata

The Little Cookbooks Project adopts Qualified Dublin Core (QDC) as the project's metadata scheme. QDC is more granular than the Simple Dublin Core (DC) hence allows more flexibility in the item description. Besides, item description is mainly done by students with supervision from a professional librarian. The relatively simple structure of QDC suits the nature of this type of operation.

This project uses 24 elements from the QDC element set with local qualifiers for some elements.
