Abstract

Although many best practice documents encourage Dublin Core metadata creators to "obey the 1:1 Principle," this recommendation has proven "extremely confusing" in practice. The impact of this confusion is widespread violations of the Principle that inhibit the ability of large-scale metadata aggregations to provide useful services. A preliminary operational definition of the 1:1 Principle that identifies of non-conformant descriptions is explored.
