This property will be used to formulate the citation, so consider the prominence of the role. ## In the case of datasets, "publish" is understood to mean making the data available to the community of researchers. ## element publisher { nonemptycontentStringType } & ## REQUIRED ## Year when the data is made publicly available. If an embargo period has been in effect, use the date when the embargo period ends. ## In the case of datasets, "publish" is understood to mean making the data available on a specific date to the community of researchers. If there is no standard publication year value, use the date that would be preferred from a citation perspective. ## YYYY ## element publicationYear { yearType } & element subjects { ## ## Subject, keywords, classification codes, or key phrases describing the resource. ## element subject { attribute subjectScheme { text }?, attribute schemeURI { xsd:anyURI }?, lang?, text }* }? & element contributors { ## ## The institution or person responsible for collecting, creating, or otherwise contributing to the developement of the dataset. ## The personal name format should be: Family, Given. ## element contributor { element contributorName { xsd:string }, element nameIdentifier { attribute nameIdentifierScheme { text }, attribute schemeURI { xsd:anyURI }?, nonemptycontentStringType }?, attribute contributorType { contributorType } }* }? & element dates { ## ## Different dates relevant to the work. ## YYYY,YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD or any other format or level of granularity described in W3CDTF.

Allowed values are taken from IETF BCP 47, ISO 639-1 language codes. ## xsd:language }? & ## ## The type of a resource. You may enter an additional free text description. ## The format is open, but the preferred format is a single term of some detail so that a pair can be formed with the sub-property. ## element resourceType { attribute resourceTypeGeneral { resourceType }, text }? & element alternateIdentifiers { ## ## An identifier or identifiers other than the primary Identifier applied to the resource being registered. This may be any alphanumeric string which is unique within its domain of issue. May be used for local identifiers. AlternateIdentifier should be used for another identifier of the same instance (same location, same file). ## element alternateIdentifier { attribute alternateIdentifierType { text }, text }* }? & element relatedIdentifiers { ## ## Identifiers of related resources. Use this property to indicate subsets of properties, as appropriate. ## element relatedIdentifier { attribute relatedIdentifierType { relatedIdentifierType }, attribute relationType { relationType }, attribute relatedMetadataScheme { text }?, attribute schemeURI { xsd:anyURI }?, attribute schemeType { text }?, text }* }? & element sizes { element size { ## ## Unstructures size information about the resource. ## xsd:string }* }? & element formats { element format { ## ## Technical format of the resource. ## Use file extension or MIME type where possible. ## xsd:string }* }? & element version { ## ## Version number of the resource. If the primary resource has changed the version number increases. ## Register a new identifier for a major version change. Individual stewards need to determine which are major vs. minor versions. May be used in conjunction with properties 11 and 12 (AlternateIdentifier and RelatedIdentifier) to indicate various information updates. May be used in conjunction with property 17 (Description) to indicate the nature and file/record range of version. ## xsd:string }? & element rightsList { ## ## Any rights information for this resource.
