CT version 1.1

CT version 1.1

CT version 1.1, Common Terminology (CT) version 1.1, is upgraded on January of 2017. The upgraded CT version 1.1 changes or omits few unnecessary qualifiers of version 1.1. These changes are based on analyses of CT usage used in conversions from EDM of Europeana, MAP of DPLA, National Library of Korea, Harvard and MIT metadata records. Also, it is to adapt and embrace metadata standards (e.g., MAP of DPLA , EDM of Europeana, National Library of Korea’s MODS, Harvard’s Library Cloud, and MIT library’s QDC) and forms (json, rdf, xlsx, cvs, and xml) of cooperating organizations. Especially, few terms to describe administrative information of MAP and EDM are added changing existing qualifiers’ terms. The detail of the changes are the following.

The omitted qualifiers are:

  • contributor/role/orderedauthors
  • description/authentication
  • description/thesis: it is merged into description as a narrow match
  • identifier/nationalBibliographyNumber
  • rights/ holder: it is merged into rights as a narrow match
  • title/uniform

The changed qualifiers are:

  • using ‘type’ instead of ‘name’ for personal, corporation or meeting of contributor such as contributor type=”personal” instead of name=”personal.”
  • title type=’key” is changed into type=”part”, in order to describe partnumber and partname of title.
  • relation type=”constituent” is changed into type=”hasPart”, which is more generalized with common terms.
  • identifier type=”ismn” is changed into type=”object”, because dpla in json form and europeana in rdf form use ‘object’ for each record.
  • /mods/physicalDescription/reformattingQuality is added into ct:format, because reformatting quality “Indicates an overall assessment of the physical quality of an electronic resource in relation to its intended use (MODS).”

In addition, this version has a possibility to be upgraded in order to become friendly for Linked Open Data. Therefore, more upgraded details will be coming soon.

The upgraded CT version 1.1

CT version 1.1

CT version 1.1 has developed by (Boaz) Sunyoung Jin, supervised by Professor Dubin and supported by Dean Smith of Graduate School of Library of Information Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Written on November 24, 2014)

Common Terminology, CT version 1.1, is a bridge terminology of widely used MARC, MODS, DC and QDC that have very different degree of specificity and generality. Since it is a bridge terminology, it allows communities to use their own standards but it provides uniformity to searching achieving interoperability among them. It is to achieve and improve metadata interoperability among different schema standards that have some different degree of generality or specificity.

The developed Common Terminology version 1.1 is a set of 12 Common Terms (properties) (less than DC core elements) and 53 qualifiers (sub-properties) (many fewer than 1000 MARC tags and MODS elements). 53 qualifiers of CT 1.1 are selected to preserve much information of the 1000 MARC tags and many subfields, and elements and attributes of MODS.

The Common Terminology 1.1 is defined as a set of 12 Common Terms (property) and 53 qualifiers (subproperty) with CTScheme. The Common Terminology version 1.1 is especially, common element names of widely used metadata schemas (e.g., MARC, MODS, DC & QDC). Qualifiers specify and subdivide 12 properties in detail, with CTScheme. CTScheme is defined as an enumerated set of resources used as a controlled set of values including authorities, Syntax Encoding Scheme and Vocabulary Encoding Scheme of DCMI.

The 12 Common Terms (properties) are contributor, date, description, format, identifier, language, publisher, relation, rights, subject, title, and typeGenre, which are described in the below tables. CTScheme includes CTTypeGenre, CTFormat, CTRelator, CTLanguage, CTDescription, CTIdentifier, and CTSubject.

This document provides definitions and comments for 12 Common Terms (property) and 53 qualifiers (subproperty) of MARC, MODS, DC, and QDC with CTScheme. *Since CT is common terms of MARC, MODS, DC and QDC, CT definitions follow their definitions.
