Mainly, I think ISO/FDIS 15836-1 clearly lays out the basics of Dublin Core elements, and while no guidelines for implementation are included, the element notes do frequently contain mention of “best practices,” which is very helpful. Also excited for part 2 of this standard, which should formalize some of the more abstract elements of the DC.

It also gives guidelines for the preparation of citations in Latin scripts in works that are not themselves primarily bibliographical. It is applicable to bibliographic references and citations to all kinds of information resources, including but not limited to monographs, serials, contributions, patents, cartographic materials, electronic information resources (including research datasets, databases, computer software and social media), music, recorded sound, prints, photographs, graphic and audiovisual works, and moving images. It is not applicable to machine-parsable citations. It is also not applicable to legal citations, which have their own standards.

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.
