ISO 15836-1:2017为跨域资源描述建立了15个核心元数据元素。这些术语是都柏林核心元数据倡议维护的一组更大的元数据词汇表的一部分。ISO 15836-2中包含了/terms/名称空间中的属性。 ISO 15836-1:2017没有限制资源。 ISO 15836-1:2017未提供实施指南。然而，这些元素通常在应用程序配置文件的上下文中使用，该应用程序配置文件根据本地或基于社区的需求和策略限制或指定它们的使用。

ISO 15836-1:2017 establishes 15 core metadata elements for cross-domain resource description. These terms are part of a larger set of metadata vocabularies maintained by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. Properties in the /terms/ namespace are included in ISO 15836-2. ISO 15836-1:2017 does not limit what might be a resource. ISO 15836-1:2017 does not provide implementation guidelines. However, the elements are typically used in the context of an application profile which constrains or specifies their use in accordance with local or community-based requirements and policies.
