* Indicates a Dublin Core element adopted by the GC RMMS. Consequently, the element is referenced by the Dublin Core namespace.
13. Includes the original 15 elements from the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set, Version 1.1 (December 20, 2004), plus Audience. Does not include any refinements. [adopted] appears in the cells for those Dublin Core elements adopted by the GC RMMS, namely, Creator, Description, Identifier, Language, Subject, Title and Type. In such cases, a mapping is not applicable since the Dublin Core elements have been included in the GC RMMS.
14. The importance of preservation warrants considerable study; hence, elements pertaining to preservation are outside the scope of this edition of the GC RMAP.
