Title is actually the ex.Title metadata, which is automatically extracted (if any) by plugins. Therefore [Title] or [ex.Title] in a format statement means the same thing.

dc.Title is the Title element of the dublin core metadata set, which is normally manually assinged, for example, by the collection creator.

    > And how do they interact with the 'extended metadata names'?
    > [parent:Title]The Title of the immediate parent section
    > [parent(Top):Title]The
    > Title of the topmost parent section

[parent:Title] is the value of the extracted title (ex.title) of the immediate parent section Likewise, [parent:dc.Title] is the value of dc.Title of the immediate parent section

1. Greenstone can use the qualified dublin core metadata set (or other metadata sets, even your own one):

In the Enrich panel ->

    click "Manage Metadata Sets" ->
    click "Add" ->
    select "[Title] or [ex.Title],
    "dublin core metadata element set" from the "available Metadata Sets" list ->
    click "add",

then it will be added into the table (on the right hand side of the Enrich panel) where the metadata values can be entered.

    Note: [Title] or [ex.Title] in a format statement means the same thing.

2. Then the metadata elements of qualified dc can be used in a way as other metadata elements are, for example, [dc.Title^Alternative]

3. You can create your own metadata set using GEMS.

In the gli directory, run gems.bat or gems.sh.

Or In the Enrich panel ->

    click "Manage Metadata Sets" -> click "Add" -> click "New".

4. The available metadata sets are stored in GSDLHOME/gli/metadata
