Version 1.1, 12th January 2004
The Explain document lists the XML schemas in which records may be returned in from a particular database. The Simple Dublin Core schema is required to be supported for all databases, but any others may be supported in addition to this.
Schemas are unambiguously identified by URIs. The following table lists some record schemas, but only the DC schema is mandatory. This list is not intended to be definitive, just an example. If you wish to have an identifier listed here, then please contact the SRW Maintenance Agency.
