2     PRISM Documentation Structure

The PRISM Documentation Package has been reorganized and some specifications renamed to more accurately reflect the nature of each specification module.  The PRISM documentation package includes the following specifications and documents:

2.1    Compliance Specification

This document provides compliance specification.

Document

Description

PRISM Compliance [PRISMCOMP]

Describes three profiles of PRISM compliance for content and systems; includes normative material.

2.2    PRISM Metadata Specifications

This is the set of documents that outline the prism metadata fields and values by PRISM metadata category.  PRISM has modularized its metadata specification by namepace so users may pick those modules that meet their unique business requirements without having to implement the entire PRISM specification.

2.7    PRISM Source Vocabulary Specifications

In 2010, Idealliance developed a series of specifications collectively known as the PRISM Source Vocabulary.  The use case for PSV is to encode semantically rich content for transformation and delivery to any platform. This Specification is made up of a modular documentation package that builds on PRISM 3.0 and HTML5.  Over time new modules may be added to the documentation package.  The documentation package for PSV, PRISM Source Vocabulary Specification Version 1.0 consists of:

Document

Description

PRISM Source Vocabulary Specification Overview [PSVSO]

The Introduction to the PRISM Source Vocabulary provides an introduction and a non-technical overview of the PRISM Source Vocabulary.

PRISM Source Vocabulary Specification [PSVS]

The PRISM Source Vocabulary Specification defines semantically rich for source metadata and content markup that can be transformed and served to a wide variety of output devices including eReaders, mobile tablet devices, smart phones and print.

PRISM Source Vocabulary Markup Specification [PSVMS]

The PSV Markup Specification documents the XML tags in the PSV namespace that are used to encode XML Source Content.

2.8    PRISM Schemas

While PRISM is primarily a metadata specification, it also includes some XML schemas that define encoding of specific kinds of content for publication and interchange.  The PRISM schemas include:

•       Contracts_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode publication contracts.

•       Crafts_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode crafts.

•       Image_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode images.

•       PAM_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode a PRISM aggregator message.

•       pamW_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode a PRISM aggregator message for Web content.

•       pamP_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode a PRISM aggregator/distributor message package.

•       PSV_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode content in PRISM Source Vocabulary.

•       Recipe_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode recipes.

•       Rights_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode usage rights.

2.9    PRISM Controlled Vocabularies

PRISM has defined 38 controlled vocabularies using PRISM controlled vocabulary markup.  See The PRISM Controlled Vocabulary Specification [PRISMCVS].  All CVs are available in CVs.zip.

2.10 PRISM Namespaces

PRISM namespace declarations can be found in Namespaces.zip.  The following are the recommended Namespaces for PRISM metadata:

2.11 PSV Content Management Schema

In order to assist implementers develop a PSV-based federated content management solution, the nextPub Working Group is providing an XML Schema (XSD) that can serve as the basis for the design of a PSV content repository. 

Note: The PSV CM schema is not designed for tagging content.  It is provided simply to serve as a basis for the design of a content repository.  Metadata building blocks from this schema can be combined with HTML5 by publishers who wish to develop a hybrid PSV metadata and content tagging schema.

2.12 Other PSV Schemas

Because PSV is a flexible framework, it supports many different use case scenarios.  A different schema, using the PSV metadata fields and content encoding can be developed for each different use case.

3     Introduction

3.1    Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this document is to describe the basic metadata elements that the PRISM Working Group has defined and included in the PRISM namespace. All of Section 4 of this document is normative.

All the element definitions appear in a uniform format. Each element definition begins with two fields; the Name and the Identifier of the element. The Name is a human-readable string that can be translated into different languages. Also, note that PRISM does NOT require that users be presented with the same labels. The Identifier is a protocol element. It is an XML element type and MUST be given as shown, modulo the normal allowance for variations in the namespace prefix used.

Note: This document describes element models and provides examples for all PRISM profiles. In addition Profile #1 PRISM (well formed XML, with no requirement for RDF), is described in Guide to the PRISM Aggregator Message V.3.0. [PAMGUIDE].

3.2    New in this Version

Changes in this document include:

•       Addition of a new metadata field prism:contentType element to describe the content type of a resource. Sample content types include article, advertisement and chapter.  Values come from the new Content Type Controlled Vocabulary.

•       Addition of the new metadata elements prism:publishingFrequency, prism:publicationDisplayDate, prism:onSaleDay, prism:onSaleDate and prism:offSaleDate.

•       Updated and clarified definitions for prism:issueIdentifier, prism:coverDate, prism:coverDisplayDate and prism:publicationDate.

•       Addition of new serial issue metadata elements for prism:productCode and prism:uspsNumber.

•       Addition of new book identification elements prism:copyrightYear, prism:nationalCatalogNumber and prism:bookEdition.

•       Addition of a new metadata field prism:platform to describe a platform where content is used.  Values come from the Platform Controlled Vocabulary.

•       Addition of a new optional metadata field prism:device to further refine the definition of a platform by specifying the exact platform device such as make/model of tablet or smart phone.

•       Addition of a new metadata field prism:pageProgression Direction to describe the intended flip direction when content is displayed.

•       Addition of the new metadata field prism:pageCount to describe the total number of pages in an issue, article, book or chapter.

•       Addition of new metadata field prism:subtitle to identify the subtitle of a book or article.

•       Addition of new series metadata fields for prism:seriesTitle and prism:seriesNumber.

•       Addition of a new metadata field prism:supplementDisplayID to provide further identification for a supplement.

•       Addition of a new metadata field prism:supplementStartingPage to indicate the starting page of an article within a supplement.

•       Addition of a new metadata field prism:supplementTitle to indicate the title of a supplement within a magazine.

•       Addition of new metadata fields for prism:issueType (values from the new issueType CV) and prism: issueTeaser.

•       Addition of a new subject metadata element prism:academicField to describe an academic area of study.

•       Addition of a new subject metadata element prism:profession to describe a profession.

•       Addition of a new subject metadata element prism:sport to describe a sport

•       Addition of a new metadata subject field prism:link to describe a link such as a URL, email or even twitter hash tag.

•       Deprecated prism:embargoDate in favor of pur:embargoDate.

•       Deprecated prism:copyright in favor of pur:copyrightDate.

•       Deprecated prism:expirationDate in favor of pur:expirationDate.

•       Deprecated prism:rightsAgent in favor of pur:rightsAgent.

4     PRISM Element and Attribute Definitions

4.1    PRISM Namespace

In addition to the Dublin Core elements, the PRISM specification defines additional namespaces. The ‘prism’ namespace (http://prismstandard.org/namespaces/basic/3.0) contains elements suitable for a wide range of content publication, licensing, and reuse situations. Many of them are, in effect, extensions of the elements from Dublin Core.

The recommended namespace for PRISM is:
xmlns:prism=”http://prismstandard.org/namespaces/basic/3.0/

4.2    PRISM Element and Attribute Models

All three PRISM profiles are documented in this section. First Profile #1 is documented. The documentation for the XML only profile includes a field that indicates whether this element is included in the PRISM Aggregator Message. If the element is included in PAM, please refer to the Guide to the PRISM Aggregator Message [PAMGUIDE] for more detailed information about the use of the element in the context of the XML PAM message. The elements included in PAM are those elements that publishers plan to send to aggregators for the purpose of aggregation. Not all elements are included in PAM.

PRISM Profile #2 (RDF/XML) is also documented in this section. In combining XML with RDF, there is far greater flexibility in tagging than we are used to when we define XML elements and attributes with an XML DTD. The remainder of this section contains the most likely element/attribute models for PRISM Profile #2 PRISM. Other Profile #2 models are possible based on the interaction between XML and RDF.

PRISM Profile #3 (XMP) is also documented in this section. The documentation concentrates on the property and container values for the XMP field to provides information required to develop an XMP schema to implement PRISM in the XMP environment. Note that XMP can be particularly useful in extending the capability of encoding multimedia objects with PRISM metadata.

Typically, prism:byteCount is the size of a file. It might be used to display an estimate of download time to a user, to serve as a quick check on whether a file was transmitted correctly between systems, etc. If the resource is compressed, such as a JPEG image, byteCount gives its compressed size, which is much easier to obtain.

Comment

A resource may be assigned to one or more online channels.

 

This may be a different organization than indicated by the section, as channels address online navigation whereas sections address organization.  Channel organization may cross publications when content is placed online, and may combine sections or cut across sections. The channel often becomes part of the URL, whereas a section name may or may not be.

 

The four subchannel elements should be used to denote a hierarchy of subchannels. In other words, a subchannel2 should not be used unless a subchannel1 is present, a subchannel3 should not be used unless a subchannel2 is present, etc.

4.2.10            prism:complianceProfile

Name

Compliance Profile

Identifier

prism:complianceProfile

Definition

The PRISM specification compliance profile that the resource adheres to.

Occurrence

Occurs 0 or 1 time

Comment

Best Practice is to use a reference from the PRISM Compliance Profile Controlled Vocabulary [PRISMCVNS]. If the element is not present, consuming systems MAY treat the resource's compliance profile as unknown, or they MAY treat it as specified in a contractual, human-interpretable assertion -- that is, "Our contract with this producer says that they are Profile #2 compliant, so my consuming system will assume that it is." If the element is present and populated with values from the controlled vocabulary, consuming systems MUST assume that compliance is as asserted in the element. If the element is present and unpopulated or populated with a value other than as specified here, the behavior of the consuming system is undefined.

A second model allows text values, so implementations MUST be capable of handling text values, although interoperation with text value references cannot be guaranteed.

Not a model for identifying a corporate organization mentioned in the article.  prism:organization should be used to describe content about a corporation.

For Profile #2, if there are multiple corporate entities for the resource PRISM recommends listing the multiple entities inside one prism:corporateEntity element using the RDF containers such as rdf:Bag, rdf:Seq or rdf:Alt to be XMP compatible. For Profile #1, simple repeat the prism:corporateEntity element multiple times.

The cover display date is the issue date printed on the cover of a magazine as a text string. 

Occurrence

Comment

This field has the same meaning as the prism:coverDate element – the last date an issue should be displayed for sale. However, many issues will not have a simple date which can be loaded into a database field of a “date” datatype. For example, “Spring 2002.” Such dates should be placed in this element.

 

For the convenience of applications which allow the user to search content within a specified range of dates, both the prism:coverDate and the prism:coverDisplayDate elements may be provided. In applications where the cover date is to be displayed to a user, this element SHOULD be used in preference to prism:coverDate. The prism:coverDate element SHOULD be used for the date comparisons.

 The DOI may also be used as the dc:identifier. If used as a dc:identifier, the URI form should be captured, and the bare identifier should also be captured using prism:doi. If an alternate unique identifier is used as the required dc:identifier, then the DOI should be specified as a bare identifier within prism:doi only.

If the URL associated with a DOI is to be specified, then prism:url may be used in conjunction with prism:doi in order to provide the service endpoint (i.e. the URL).

Definition

Identifies an alternative resource in case the current resource cannot be used (typically because of rights restrictions) or there is a platform-based alternative.

Occurrence

Occurs 0 or more times

Comment

Identifies another resource that can be substituted in place of the current resource. This provides a means for avoiding unsightly things like printing blank rectangles containing "No rights to reproduce this image". It also allows for relating content that differs intellectually when delivered on alternate platforms. 

 

Alternatives are not simply a reformatting of the original work; they are a separate intellectual work. To point to alternatives which are a different resolution, color space, file format, or different delivery platform etc. see dc:hasFormat. For alternatives which are newer or older versions of the same intellectual work, see dcterms:hasVersion.

As an example, imagine a publisher distributing an article containing a stock photo to which they did not secure Brazilian rights. If the publisher sent the article to Brazil, they might describe the original image that was published, but suggest an alternative to their syndication partners using prism:hasAlternative.

Points from the original article to the translation(s), which must have a different identifier than the original resource. The language of the translated version can be determined by looking up the metadata for the translated version.

Recommended best practice is to identify the translated version with a URI. For Profile #2, if there are multiple translations for the resource PRISM recommends listing the multiple translations inside one prism:hasTranslation element using the RDF containers such as rdf:Bag, rdf:Seq or rdf:Alt to be XMP compatible.

Identifier

prism:isAlternativeOf

Definition

Identifies this resource as an alternative to another.

Occurrence

Occurs 0 or more times

Comment

Identifies this resource as one that can be substituted in place of another resource. This provides a means for avoiding unsightly things like printing blank rectangles containing "No rights to reproduce this image". It also allows for relating content that differs intellectually when delivered on alternate platforms. 

 

Alternatives are not simply a reformatting of the original work; they are a separate intellectual work. To point to alternatives which are a different resolution, color space, file format, or different delivery platform etc. see dc:hasFormat. For alternatives which are newer or older versions of the same intellectual work, see dcterms:hasVersion.

As an example, imagine a publisher distributing an article containing a stock photo to which they did not secure Brazilian rights. If the publisher sent the article to Brazil, they might describe the original image that was published, but suggest an alternative to their syndication partners using prism:hasAlternative.

Certain issues of a magazine may be commonly known by a name like "Swimsuit Issue" or "Buyer's Guide Issue." These are frequently memorable issues and contain materials of great reference value. Issues may be tied to a particular day, but still be known by a name, such as the "Halloween Issue." If an issue is known by a general date, such as "Spring 2002," use the prism:coverDisplayDate element instead.

 

The issue name is not a unique identifier.  The element issueIdentifier or dc:identifier should be used for that purpose.

A geospatial location, referred to in order to indicate a subject of the resource.

Occurrence

Occurs 0 or more times

Comment

As with other subject identifiers, the best practice is NOT to tag locations which are only mentioned in passing. The staff doing the tagging should assume that a full-text engine will be available to find those. The location element, on the other hand, is to call out those locations which are a subject for the story, no matter how many times they are mentioned in the story. As a test, the tagging staff should ask themselves “if I was searching for information on location X, would I want to get this story as one of the search results?” If so, then it should be tagged with that location, otherwise not.

 

For Profile #2, if there is more than one location related to a resource, PRISM recommends listing the multiple locations inside one prism:location element using the RDF containers such as rdf:Bag, rdf:Seq or rdf:Alt to be XMP compatible. For Profile #1, just repeat the prism:location element multiple times.

The element pim:organization is available to specify organization as inline markup.

 

For Profile #2, If there are multiple organizations related to the resource PRISM recommends listing the multiple entities inside one prism:organization element using the RDF containers such as rdf:Bag, rdf:Seq or rdf:Alt to be XMP compatible. For Profile #1, simple repeat the prism:organization element multiple times.

prism:person

Definition

The proper name of a person, referred to in order to indicate a subject of the resource.

Occurrence

Occurs 0 or more times

Comment

Recommended best practice is to cite an entry into a controlled vocabulary of people. However, textual names are acceptable and are expected to be commonly used.

As with other subject identifiers, do not mark a resource for every person mentioned in the resource, only those which it is “about”.

PRISM makes no recommendation on the issue of direct vs. sort order for names (in other words, we do not recommend “Smith, Jane Q.” vs. “Jane Q. Smith”).

For Profile #2, if there is more than one person as the subject of a resource, PRISM recommends listing each inside one prism:person element using the RDF containers such as rdf:Bag, rdf:Seq or rdf:Alt to be XMP compatible. For Profile #1, just repeat prism:person element multiple times.

A resource may be assigned to one online subchannel per channel.

 

This may be a different organization than indicated by the section, as channels address online navigation whereas sections address organization.  Channel organization may cross publications when content is placed online, and may combine sections or cut across sections. The channel often becomes part of the URL, whereas a section name may or may not be.

 

The four subchannel element levels are allowed to denote a hierarchy for online channels. A subchannel2 should not be used unless a subchannel1 is present, a subchannel3 should not be used unless a subchannel2 is present, etc.

Definition

This element provides an additional identifier, typically used to record a specific version of a resource. Best practice is to use a version identifier that implies sequence. 

Comment

This element provides an additional identifier, associating editorial versions of a resource with one another where a single dc:identifier is used. This identifier allows us to put the versions in sequence and provide historical data. For example, a morning edition/version and an evening edition. This is used to specify an intentional additional version, not a correction or an update/modification. This identifier could be used to track prices that change during the day, for example. This specialized element is used when historical data is required. Use of this element will be limited to a very specific instance where the historical reference of the data stream is to be archived.

PRISM does not mandate a specific word counting algorithm, as there are no known algorithms which are widely accepted for use across multiple languages. Therefore, the information provided by this field must be regarded as advisory. It can be displayed to a user to give an indication of the length of the article, but it can not be depended upon as a check on the correct transmission of a document.
