Interesting. From the PRISM FAQ (http://www.prismstandard.org/faq/): DocBook uses Dublin Core to describe metadata, as does PRISM. The PRISM metadata vocabulary can be used to supplement the metadata features offered in the DocBook specification. and: PRISM incorporated existing industry standards such as Dublin Core and XHTML in order to leverage work that had already been done in the publishing industry. New elements were created only when required, and were assigned to PRISM specific namespaces. I guess there is some confusion of terms here: Google Scholar seem to be saying that they prefer objects in the PRISM *namespace*, although the PRISM *specification* embraces DC. Thus they manage to be picky without being precise -- quite a feat. > Where can I find a crosswalk between those bad(!) DC tags and PRISM, and the > Google tags ?

It sounds to me as though GS wouldn't much care for such a crosswalk, since it would only import data which they consider imprecise into a namespace which they consider more precise, masking the assumed rascal quality of our data behind trusted names. Maybe instead it's time for a review of metadata defined in the stock DSpace in comparison with sites' requirements. (Heh, this topic is itself a nice example of the value of namespaces. I'm struggling to avoid associating PRISM with an experimental RISC microprocessor from some years back.) -- Mark H.
