(Proposed element) accrualPeriodicity See http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/collection-accrualPeriodicity/

This encoding scheme allows the unambiguous specification of values for the proposed element accrualPeriodicity, which in turn supports precise searching.

See the mailing list archives of the WG, especially Jul 2004.

This is the same set of values as used in MARC21. See MARC 21 Concise Holdings: Caption and Pattern Fields (853-855) (subfield $w Frequency - Codes used for frequencies that have a fundamental periodicity).

However, there is no evidence that MARC has issued URIrefs to refer either to the scheme as a unit or to the individual values within the scheme.

(Proposed element) accrualPeriodicity
See http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/collection-accrualPeriodicity/

The term is proposed by the Dublin Core Collection Description Working Group. One of the primary aims of the WG is the development of a Dublin Core Application Profile (DCAP) for collection-level description, i.e. for the description of a collection as a resource, rather than the description of the individual items that make up that collection.

Records of the activity of the WG are available in the mailing list archives.

The current draft of the Collection Description Application Profile is available at http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/collection-application-profile/
