The Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES) is a set of 15 elements defined by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative which can be used to describe any physical or electronic resource. Dublin Core is a de facto standard for encoding metadata which describes documents available on the World Wide Web.
The table below lists each of the 15 Dublin Core elements along with each element's nearest equivalent element in the Blackwell Publishing DTD 4.

<p><abstractinfo>Emotion work in midwifery: a review of current
knowledge</abstractinfo></p>
<p><b>Aim of the paper.</b> To review the literature relating to
emotional labour in the workplace and identify potential sources of
emotion within midwifery work.</p>
<p><b>Rationale.</b> There is substantial evidence to indicate that
the quality of the relationship between midwife and woman is significant
in determining the quality of the childbirth experience for women. Despite
this, there is a notable lack of research regarding midwives’ experiences
of participating in this relationship, and even less regarding the emotional
issues involved.</p>
<p><b>Method.</b> Literature review of relevant midwifery, nursing
and sociological literature. Discussion of the theoretical perspectives
provided by sociological and nursing research relating to the management of
emotion at work and critical consideration of their application to an analysis
of midwifery work.</p>
<p><b>Findings.</b> Although these theoretical perspectives may
offer significant insights of relevance to midwifery, there is much more
that needs to be uncovered. Midwifery work has the potential for creating high
levels of emotion work and current changes in the organization of United
Kingdom (UK) maternity care may further increase this.</p>
<p><b>Conclusion.</b> It is essential that midwives
develop their understanding of emotion at work in order to improve their
own working lives, and to meet the needs of childbearing women and their families.
More research is needed in this field to develop a body of knowledge to inform
midwifery education and practice.</p></summary>

The equivalent Dublin Core markup for the above elements is shown below (titlegroup=Title; namegroup=Creator; keywordgroup=Subject; summary=Description). Note that the Dublin Core syntax can be represented in any encoding such as HTML, RDF/XML or a generic 'field=value' form, depending on what usage is required. The example below shows this more generic form of encoding, but an encoding of the same material in RDF is also available. Dublin Core concepts are equally applicable to virtually any file format, as long as the metadata is in a form suitable for interpretation both by search engines and human beings.
