The Psepheda - Ψηφίδα Application Profile specifies which metadata terms
are used by the University of Macedonia Library (http://www.lib.uom.gr) in its Digital Library & Institutional Repository
called Psepheda-Ψηφίδα[1]
(http://dspace.lib.uom.gr). Basically, Phepheda-Ψηφίδα uses the Dublin Core Library Application Profile[2] as adjusted by DSpace[3]
to fit its needs, with some local applications. This document is presented as a Web page with the intent
of being readable by humans, thus making it easier for people to understand how we use metadata and perhaps
helping others build on our experience or commenting on our Application Profile.
Term usage is defined in tables. The left column (Attributes) lists the different attributes that are used to describe the term. Attributes are omitted from term usage if not present. The right column (Attribute values) lists the terms used in Psepheda. Names of Terms are listed before the Term URIs.
This first release of our Application Profile lists only the metadata used for the description of our Theses collection. In the future, more collection descriptions will be added.
