Het Dublin core metadata initiatief (DCMI) is een initiatief dat gericht is op de adoptie van standaarden voor de beschrijving van informatiebronnen, zodat metadatering van informatie op een eenduidige manier kan geschieden en informatiebronnen makkelijker vindbaar worden.

Since 1995, the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) has worked on promoting widespread adoption of interoperable metadata standards, and develops specialized metadata vocabularies for describing resources that enable more intelligent information discovery systems. The original objective of the Dublin Core was to define a set of elements that could be used by authors to describe their own Web resources. Naturally this tied into finding ways to implement the DCMI for SemWeb applications.
Comprised of fifteen elements (title, creator, subject, description, publisher, contributor, date, type, format, identifier, source, language, relation, coverage, and rights) used for resource description, the Metadata Element Set provides a simple and standardized set of conventions for describing things online, in ways that make them easier to find. The Dublin Core is already used to describe digital materials such as video, sound, images, text, and composite media, like web pages. These fifteen elements were deliberately made simple so that non-library catalogers could provide basic information for resource discovery.
Because of its simplicity, the Dublin Core has been used with other types of materials, and for applications demanding increased complexity. Because of its design, which allows for a minimum set of shareable metadata in the Open Archive Initiative-Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, there are already thousands of projects worldwide that use the Dublin Core for cataloging, or collecting data from the Web.
