Zotero RDF/ Dublin Core RDF

Well, I am writing my thesis of degree about Zotero and other reference management softwares. My question is: what is the difference between Zotero RDF and Qualified DC RDF? I know what is the RFD and Dublin Core, but the Zotero RDF is an enigma for me.
I am waiting for the answer. Thanks a lot.
  • Hi,

    Sorry--I'm not following the forums closely so I didn't see this earlier. Hope your thesis went (or is going!) well.

    The easiest way to see the difference is to export them both. Zotero RDF is a custom format which includes notes, tags, and file location.

    Currently Zotero is exporting unqualified DC; I don't see qualified DC as an option at present. If you'd like to understand the difference between DC and Qualified DC see an example such as http://www.wrn.aber.ac.uk/objects/metadata_overview/page_11.htm .

    I'll also post unqualified DC RDF followed by Zotero RDF for the same item from my library.

    This might be a little easier with indentation but that gets stripped out by the forums. Try exporting an item from your library to see that helpful whitespace! You can "Export Selected Item" yourself by selecting an item and right-clicking to get its context menu.

    If you have more questions, please add them to this thread!

    <dc:title>Designing for privacy and self-presentation in social awareness</dc:title>
    <dcterms:abstract>Social awareness applications are based on the idea of a group sharing real-time context information via personal and ubiquitous terminals. Studies of such applications have shown that users are not only concerned with the preservation privacy through non-disclosure. Instead, disclosure is manipulated for the constant presentation of self to the group in everyday social situations. Basing on 3 years of research with the mobile social awareness system ContextContacts, established findings in social psychology and ubiquitous computing, we propose a number of design principles to support users in this management of privacy and presentation. These principles are to apply even if disclosure is automated, and include support for lightweight permissions, assuming reciprocity, appearing differently to different audiences, providing for feedback on presentation and allowing lying. These principles are applied in interaction design and protocol engineering for the next version of a mobile awareness system called ContextContacts.</dcterms:abstract>
