Abstract | This document specifies a mapping for using the metadata vocabulary | |||

This document specifies a standard mapping for using the metadata | 3 Introduction | |||
vocabulary of Dublin Core ([DUBLIN]) in a WebDAV ([WEBDAV]) server. | ||||
Contents | This document specifies a mapping for using the metadata vocabulary | |||
of Dublin Core ([DUBLIN]) in a WebDAV ([WEBDAV]) server. | ||||
STATUS OF THIS MEMO 1 | WebDAV defines a protocol for manipulating metadata on a Web | |||
ABSTRACT 1 | resource; in WebDAV, an element of metadata is called a property. | |||
CONTENTS 2 | Dublin Core defines several metadata elements, with standard names | |||
and standard meanings. A server which stores Dublin Core metadata for | ||||
its content may wish to make the metadata available as WebDAV | ||||
properties; to forestall the emergence of incompatible ways to | ||||
provide this functionality, this document defines a mapping from | ||||
Dublin Core element labels into WebDAV property names. | ||||
1 INTRODUCTION 2 | The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALLNOT", | |||
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and"OPTIONAL" in this | ||||
document are to be interpreted as described in [MUSTS] . | ||||
2 MAPPING 3 | 4 Mapping | |||
2.1 NAMESPACE 3 | The approach taken in this mapping is to leverage the RDF encoding | |||
([DC-RDF]) of Dublin Core. An [RDF] document encoding Dublin Core | ||||
data would look something like this: | ||||
2.2 PROPERTY NAMES 3 | <?xml version="1.0"?> | |||
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" | ||||
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.0/" | ||||
xmlns:dcq="http://purl.org/dc/qualifiers/1.0/"> | ||||
<rdf:Description about="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc822.txt"> | ||||
<dc:creator> | ||||
<rdf:Description> | ||||
<rdf:value>Crocker, David</rdf:value> | ||||
<dcq:creatorType | ||||
rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/schema/LastnameFirstname#"/> | ||||
</rdf:Description> | ||||
</dc:creator> | ||||
</rdf:Description> | ||||
</rdf:RDF> | ||||
2.3 PROPERTY FORMAT 3 | The mapping defined here works by identifying each subelement of | |||
<rdf:Description> with a single WebDAV property. Since WebDAV | ||||
properties are expressed as XML elements ([XML]), using XML | ||||
namespaces ([XMLNS]) allow different groups to define sets of | ||||
properties without interfering with each other, the mapping is direct | ||||
and one-to-one. In this case, the namespaces being used are | ||||
<URI:http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.0/>, | ||||
<URI:http://purl.org/dc/qualifiers/1.0/>, and | ||||
<URI:http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>, as specified in | ||||
[RDF] and [DC-RDF]. To obtain the Dublin Core creator for the | ||||
resource <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc822.txt>, a WebDAV client would | ||||
issue a PROPFIND method to the resource, requesting the dc:creator | ||||
property: | ||||

9.1 NORMATIVE REFERENCES 6 | The Abbreviated Syntax of [DC-RDF] MUST NOT be used in this encoding, | |||

10 AUTHORS' ADDRESSES 6 | A previous version of this document had some difficulties with | |||
advanced sections of the Dublin Core model. This version addresses | ||||
these problems, but it may be useful to enumerate them for future | ||||
reference. | ||||
1 Introduction | 4.3.1 Multivalued Properties | |||
This document specifies a standard mapping for using the metadata | A WebDAV property can occur on a resource only once, while a content | |||
vocabulary of Dublin Core ([DUBLIN]) in a WebDAV ([WEBDAV]) server. | item may bear more than one instance of a Dublin Core element. The | |||
previous document defined an ad hoc XML syntax for listing multiple | ||||
values, which drew criticism from people who wanted more general | ||||
multivalued property support for WebDAV. This document is able to | ||||
sidestep the problem because Dublin Core now has its own solution, | ||||
and it is not necessary to create a new one. In the above example, if | ||||
RFC-822 had multiple authors, the <dc:creator> element might contain | ||||
an <rdf:Bag> element containing <rdf:li> elements. | ||||
WebDAV defines a protocol for manipulating metadata on a Web | 4.3.2 Qualification (Subelements) | |||
resource; in WebDAV, an element of metadata is called a property. | ||||
Dublin Core defines several metadata elements, with standard names | ||||
and standard meanings. A server which stores Dublin Core metadata | ||||
for its content may wish to make the metadata available as WebDAV | ||||
properties; to forestall the emergence of nonstandard ways to | ||||
provide this functionality, this document defines a standard | ||||
mapping from Dublin Core element labels into WebDAV property names. | ||||
2 Mapping | When the previous document was written, some members of the Dublin | |||
Core group had plans to support more structure in their metadata, but | ||||
had not yet defined a syntax for it. At this time, the debate over | ||||
subelements is still not fully resolved, but the syntax in the RDF | ||||
encding has been established: to add extra data on a dc: element, one | ||||
nests a dcq: element within it, as a qualifier, as in the | ||||
<dcq:creatorType> element in the RDF example above. | ||||
2.1 Namespace | 5 Examples | |||
WebDAV properties are expressed as XML elements ([XML]), using XML | The examples in this section are based on Example 14 of [DC-RDF], | |||
namespaces ([XMLNS]) to permit different groups to define sets of | showing how [WEBDAV] would be used to set and get the properties | |||
properties without interfering with each other. XML namespaces are | presented there. (Note that non-ASCII characters in Example 14 have | |||
named by URIs. The Dublin Core datamodel group is defining a | been elided for the sake of the ASCII Internet-Draft format.) | |||
namespace for XML tags representing Dublin Core elements; WebDAV | ||||
properties should use that same namespace. The | ||||
URI currently proposed for that namespace is | ||||
<URL:http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.0/>. Note that this is | ||||
currently only a proposal within the datamodel group; if the Dublin | ||||
Core group as a whole picks a different URI, WebDAV should use that | ||||
URI. | ||||
2.2 Property Names | 5.1 Set with PROPPATCH | |||
A WebDAV property representing a Dublin Core element has the same | 5.1.1 Request | |||
name as the Dublin Core element label. | ||||
2.3 Property Format | PROPPATCH /metadata/resources/dc/datamodel/WD-dc-rdf/ HTTP/1.1 | |||
Host: www.ukoln.ac.uk | ||||
Content-type: text/xml | ||||
Content-length: xxxx | ||||
Since a WebDAV property can occur on a resource only once, while a | <?xml version="1.0"?> | |||
content item may bear more than one instance of a Dublin Core | <D:propertyupdate | |||
element, some mechanism is needed to represent the multivalued | xmlns:D="DAV:" | |||
elements in the singlevalued property syntax. The Dublin Core | xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.0/" | |||
datamodel group is working on defining an XML DTD for this | > | |||
representation; WebDAV properties should use that DTD when it is | <D:set> | |||
ready. | <D:prop> | |||

2.4 Subelements | 5.1.2 Response | |||
As of this writing, the Dublin Core group is debating how and | HTTP/1.1 200 OK | |||
whether to provide subelements (that is, a technique for | ||||
structuring metadata elements). Since subelements are not yet | ||||
standardized, this document cannot yet give a definitive answer on | ||||
how to integrate them into WebDAV; a future document may be needed. | ||||
One approach under consideration, set out in [GUENTHER], is to use | 5.2 Retrieving a single Dublin Core property with PROPFIND | |||
structured element names (e.g., Creator becomes structured into | ||||
Creator.PersonalName and Creator.CorporateName); if this approach | ||||
is adopted, then this document can be applied unchanged, because | ||||
Creator.CorporateName is a perfectly legal XML tag name. | ||||
Alternative approaches could include storing structured data in an | ||||
element; this approach would require a future document specifying a | ||||
mapping from that structure into XML. | ||||
