R28a: Provide guidance and clarification on use of source and version attributes. #32

Closed pdpinch closed 13 years ago

pdpinch commented 14 years ago

Better documentation to associate the Element Version and Namespace attributes from the PBCore data dictionary with their implementation in the source and version attributes. (Allow a version attribute at PBCoreDescriptionDocument as it is currently tough to figure out what version of PBCore a document is). (Consider using SKOS or publication dates to version PBCore's recommended picklists to encourage more consistent referenece with PBCore records).

Does this need to be a separate element, or can it be embedded (as in one field being PBCore 1.0 or PBCore 1.2 or whatever)?

We've addressed this in documentation.

Source is the human-readable name of the authority. Version is a numerical version number Ref is a URI that (hopefully) identifies uniquely both source and version.

Throughout the documentation we have recommended controlled vocabularies, and include their URI's in sample documentation.
