definition and/or example of dc:extent #34

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The spec says that "Partial Catalog Entries SHOULD include the following 
metadata elements, if available: [...] dc:extent". But the dc:extent 
element is not mentioned at any other place in the spec. You should not 
just rely on the people's different interpretation of this DCMI Metadata 
Term but at least provide an example or better a short definition what is 
expected to be in this metadata element.

I recommend to explicitely state that the extend should contain the "The 
size or duration of the resource" independent of its particular 
representation format (sic!). Otherwise you will find the size of each 
different format in this metadata element.

I've started using dc:extent in our OPDS feed and I agree that it should be 
strictly used independently from any representation format.

The lack of a standardized way to express such things as page count or word 
count is also very problematic for clients such as QuickReader that process 
this kind of metadata.
