Common metadata elements

The following metadata elements occur in both maps and topic prologs.

Many of the DITA metadata elements map to Dublin Core metadata ([[1]]), with the exception of Dublin Core elements such as title, which maps to the DITA <title> element.

• Publication metadata elements

These elements provide standard information about the topic as a publication.

• Management metadata elements

These elements provide a basis for managing the publication process for topics.

• Metadata qualification elements

These elements can be used to provide additional information about a topic, and may be used in conjunction with conditional processing attributes to provide more information about the attribute values.
