Dublin Core Library Dublin Core Library 1.1. What is Metadata? Metadata has been with us since the

first librarian made a listof the items on a shelf of handwritten scrolls. The term "meta" comes from a Greek word that denotes "alongside,with, after, next." More recent Latin and English usage would employ "meta" to denote something transcendental, orbeyond nature. Metadata, then, can be thought of as data about other data. It is the Internet-age term for informationthat librarians traditionally have put into catalogs, and it most commonly refers to descriptive information about Webresources. on and text

1.2. What is the Dublin Core? The Dublin Core metadata standard is a

simple yet effectiveelement set for describing a wide range of networked resources. The Dublin Core standard includes two levels:Simple and Qualified. Simple Dublin Core comprises fifteen elements; Qualified Dublin Core includes an additionalelement, Audience, as well as a group of element refinements (also called qualifiers) that refine the semanticsof the elements in ways that may be useful in resource discovery. The semantics of Dublin Core have beenestablished by an international, cross-disciplinary group of professionals from librarianship, computer science, textencoding, the museum community, and other related fields of scholarship and practice.

OSD DescriptionOSD Description An Introduction: The Open Source Design Concept

In a nutshell, what I'm referring to is the idea of using object labels applied to certain types of design, or more formally, object metadata. This is a design language I've been working on, similar to xml, or any other metadata, specifying things like the design needs that are met by a design, the relative position it maintains according to a design logic system, and human factors needs in using the component. It could be thought of as being very similar to a materials toolbox or a cataloging system for designing digital artifacts.

This is intended to prevent the design problems which are recurring in interaction designs everywhere. Interaction elements can be sporadic, vastly differing and easily seen as unclassifiable, but in my opinion the state of the interaction design field is such that it is similar to an unsorted library, or an unlinked web of knowledge. An initial pattern language library would be enough to solidify some language into at least a testable usage stage, and perhaps, within the field or academic system, it could be the start of something bigger.

OSD ExampleOSD Example Please be aware that the design elements listed would be sorted according to this model

either upwards or downwards. This is for the sake of finding position of elements within the design artifact or interaction system, and that this is by no means the only labels that would be applied to any design item. This is a non-exhaustive list of labels applied to a potential desktop application called Alarm Cook, a digital alarm clock that downloads breakfast ideas:

<artifact:Themes="Lifestyle Application, Practical, Real-World Interaction”> <artifact:Structures="Time, Hierarchal Nav"> <surface:Styles="Music Library, Recipe Display”> <surface:Behaviors="Text Display, Shuttle Control, Time Display"> <visitor:Actions="Settings, Printing, Shuttle Actions”> <visitor:Techniques="Print Before Sleep, Auto Print, Randomize Music">

The main sections of the chart, Artifact, Surface & Visitor, have been sub-divided into themes & structures, styles & behaviors and actions & techniques. This is a base system on top of which can be applied additional logic for more advanced modular designs and more defined metadata. These layers, each of which have inherent structural and manipulatable interactive elements, are the core philosophy of the logic system I am developing for an Open Source Design non-hierarchal pattern language to assist within interaction design.
