DESCRIPTIVE: LC-AV Descriptive Metadata Extension Schema. DESCRIPTIVE contains descriptive (intellectual) metadata that describe a digital object and/or its subobjects. It is based upon a combination of standard Dublin Core and DC-LIB with minor LC-AV modifications. DESCRIPTIVE contains 18 possible top-level element: audienceType: complexType for recording information about the users for whom the content of the object is intended. contributorType has 5 attributes. 1. ID: (XML ID) 2. QUALIFIER: a qualifier of the role or type of audience information contained in the element. 3. FIELDTYPE: The context for or type of name/qualifier, e.g.personal, corporate, event, geographic, etc..... 4. ENCODING_SCHEME: This attribute identifies schemes that aid in the interpretation of an element value. These schemes include controlled vocabularies and formal notations or parsing rules. A value expressed using an encoding scheme will thus be a token selected from a controlled vocabulary (e.g., a term from a classification system or set of subject headings) or a string formatted in accordance with a formal notation (e.g., "2000-01-01" as the standard expression of a date). If an encoding scheme is not understood by a client or agent, the value may still be useful to a human reader. 5. SEQUENCE: an indicator of the sequence in which multiple occurences of this element are ordered. contributorType: complexType for recording information about an entity responsible for making contributions to the content of the object. contributorType has 5 attributes. 1. ID: (XML ID) 2. QUALIFIER: a qualifier of the role or type of contributor information contained in the element. 3.
