Type: DublinCore: The nature or genre of the resource. Darwin Core: The nature or genre of the resource. For Darwin Core, recommended best practice is to use the name of the class that defines the root of the record. Audubon Core: Any dcmi type term from http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-type-vocabulary/ may be used. Recommended terms are Collection, StillImage, Sound, MovingImage, InteractiveResource, Text. Also recommended are PanAndZoomImage, 3DStillImage, and 3DMovingImage. Values may be used either in their literal form, or with a full namespace (e. g. http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/StillImage) from a controlled vocabulary.

Notes: DublinCore: Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the DCMI Type Vocabulary [DCMITYPE]. To describe the file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource, use the Format element. Audubon Core: A Collection should be given type http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Collection. If the resource is a Collection, this item does not identify what types of objects it may contain. Following the DC recommendations at http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Text, images of text should be marked as Text.
