Metadata Standards

Step 1: Define Dublin Core. The Dublin Core is a set of fifteen core elements (e.g., Title, Creator, Date, Subject) for describing web resources and other digital objects. It's a simple yet effective metadata standard.

Step 2: Recall its origin. The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) originated from the 1995 OCLC/NCSA Metadata Workshop held in Dublin, Ohio, USA. This inaugural workshop is where the standard was conceived and first developed.

Step 3: Match the event to the date. Since the foundational workshop was held in 1995, that is the year the schema was developed.
