As of 2011, a completely revised User Guide is being developed at the wiki page DCMI's Glossary and FAQ are also under revision. This section lists each element by its full name and label.
For each element there are guidelines to assist in creating metadata content, whether it is done "from scratch" or by converting an existing record in another format. In the element descriptions below, a formal single-word label is specified to make the syntactic specification of elements simpler for encoding schemes. Although some environments, such as HTML, are not case-sensitive, it is recommended best practice always to adhere to the case conventions in the element names given below to avoid conflicts in the event that the metadata is subsequently converted to a case-sensitive environment, such as XML. Some information may appear to belong in more than one metadata element. 4.1. Label: Title Examples: 4.2. 4.3.
