zope.dublincore 6.0

Zope Dublin Core implementation

zope.dublincore

This package provides a Dublin Core support for Zope-based web applications. This includes:

• an IZopeDublinCore interface definition that can be implemented by objects directly or via an adapter to support DublinCore metadata.

• an IZopeDublinCore adapter for annotatable objects (objects providing IAnnotatable from zope.annotation).

• a partial adapter for objects that already implement some of the IZopeDublinCore API,

• a “Metadata” browser page (which by default appears in the ZMI),

• subscribers to various object lifecycle events that automatically set the created and modified date and some other metadata.

Complete documentation is hosted at https://zopedublincore.readthedocs.io/
