CT XML Schema
The updated CT version 1.1 XML Schema
The Common Terminology (CT) version 1.1 is upgraded. The updated 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.
