Synopsis
The mod_prism
module allows an RSS 1.0 feed to express
metadata terms formalized by the PRISM initiative of IDEAlliance, a
publisher and information technology forum. PRISM stands for
Publishers Requirements for Industry Standard Metadata and aims to
describe content assets from trade serial publications for
syndication. PRISM defines a small set of vocabularies that work
together to address industry requirements for resource discovery.
Adopting the Dublin Core vocabulary (with certain qualifications),
PRISM defines an additional basic vocabulary of some 50 terms, plus
three smaller, more specialized vocabularies for dealing with rights,
inline markup, and controlled vocabularies. This module defines the
basic PRISM vocabulary and is frequently used together with the
Dublin Core module.
It should be noted that this description of the
mod_prism
was kindly written by Tony Hammond, a
coauthor of the specification itself. Many thanks to him.
Namespace
mod_prism
is identified by the prefix
prism
: and the URI
http://prismstandard.org/namespaces/1.2/basic/
.
Because PRISM uses Dublin Core, it is common practice (though by no
means required) to see both the PRISM and Dublin Core namespaces
declared together. So, the root element typically appears as:
