Abstract

The HealthFinland Metadata Schema Specification defines the metadata used for publications (web documents) in the HealthFinland portal. Most of the properties (fields) have been adopted from the Dublin Core Metadata Terms. In HealthFinland, some of the properties have more specific uses and/or restrictions, which are reflected in the schema.

The schema has been documented in more detail in the HealthFinland Portal Metadata Specification (in Finnish).

Alternate machine-readable versions of this schema are available in either RDF/XML or N3 formats.
