These are the core descriptive metadata elements as they currently exist in LUNA, the platform used for the UNL Image & Multimedia Collections. Not all possible elements are listed since LUNA metadata schemes are very flexible. All element definitions are based on those provided by Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI). For a key or explanation of the table components, refer to the Home tab.
