2     PRISM Documentation Structure

PRISM is described in a set of formal, modularized documents that, taken together, represent “the PRISM Specification.” Together these documents comprise the PRISM Documentation Package.

2.1    Normative and Non-normative Sections

Documents in the PRISM Documentation Package may contain both normative and non-normative material; normative material describes element names, attributes, formats, and the contents of elements that is required in order for content or systems to comply with the PRISM Specification. Non-normative material explains, expands on, or clarifies the normative material, but it does not represent requirements for compliance. Normative material in the PRISM Documentation Package is explicitly identified as such; any material not identified as normative can be assumed to be non-normative.

2.1.1  Requirement Wording Note

The key words "MUST," "MUST NOT," "REQUIRED," "SHALL," "SHALL NOT," "SHOULD," "SHOULD NOT," "RECOMMENDED," "MAY," and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC-2119]. The PRISM Specification also uses the normative term, “STRONGLY ENCOURAGES,” which should be understood as a requirement equivalent to “MUST” in all but the most extraordinary circumstances.

Capitalization is significant; lower-case uses of the key words are intended to be interpreted in their normal, informal, English language way.

2.2    The PRISM 3.0 Documentation Package

The PRISM Documentation Package has been reorganized and some specifications renamed to more accurately reflect the nature of each specification module.  The PRISM documentation package includes the following specifications and documents:

2.3    Compliance Specification

This document provides compliance specification.

Document

Description

PRISM Compliance [PRISMCOMP]

Describes three profiles of PRISM compliance for content and systems; includes normative material.

2.4    PRISM Metadata Specifications

This is the set of documents that outline the prism metadata fields and values by PRISM metadata category.  PRISM has modularized its metadata specification by namepace so users may pick those modules that meet their unique business requirements without having to implement the entire PRISM specification.

Document

Description

PRISM Advertising Metadata Specification [PRISMADMS]

Describes the metadata elements contained in the PRISM Rights Summary Metadata Namespace (prsm:).  Includes normative material.

The PRISM Usage Rights Metadata Specification [PRISMURMS]

Describes the metadata elements contained in the PRISM Usage Rights Namespace; includes normative material. This namespace will supersede elements in both the prism: and prl: namespaces in version 3.0 of the specification.

Some elements from PUR are referenced from the newer, more comprehensive PRISM Rights Summary Metadata Specification [PRISMRSMS].

2.5    PRISM Aggregator Message Markup Specifications

This module documents the PRISM Markup Elements and Attributes for use with the PRISM Aggregator Message (PAM) and other aggregator messages.     This set of documents includes:

Document

Description

The PRISM PAM Markup Specification [PRISMPAMMS]

Describes the XML elements and attributes used to encode the PRISM Aggregator Message from both the pam: and pim: namespaces; includes normative material.

The PRISM PAM Markup for Web Content Specification [PRISMPAMWMS]

Describes the XML elements and attributes used to encode the PRISM Aggregator Message for Web Content.  This Specification draws from both the pam: and pim: namespaces and includes normative material. PAMW is used to automate the harvesting of Web Content so that it may be sent to aggregators or stored in a publishers PAM-based content management system.

•       PAM to PSV_Guide [PAMPSVGUIDE] documents mappings from PAM XML to PSV XML.

2.9    PRISM Source Vocabulary Specifications

In 2010, Idealliance developed a series of specifications collectively known as the PRISM Source Vocabulary.  The use case for PSV is to encode semantically rich content for transformation and delivery to any platform. This Specification is made up of a modular documentation package that builds on PRISM 3.0 and HTML5.  Over time new modules may be added to the documentation package.  The documentation package for PSV, PRISM Source Vocabulary Specification Version 1.0 consists of:

Document

Description

PRISM Source Vocabulary Specification Overview [PSVSO]

The Introduction to the PRISM Source Vocabulary provides an introduction and a non-technical overview of the PRISM Source Vocabulary.

PRISM Source Vocabulary Specification [PSVS]

The PRISM Source Vocabulary Specification defines semantically rich for source metadata and content markup that can be transformed and served to a wide variety of output devices including eReaders, mobile tablet devices, smart phones and print.

PRISM Source Vocabulary Markup Specification [PSVMS]

The PSV Markup Specification documents the XML tags in the PSV namespace that are used to encode XML Source Content.

2.10 PRISM Schemas

While PRISM is primarily a metadata specification, it also includes some XML schemas that define encoding of specific kinds of content for publication and interchange.  The PRISM schemas include:

•       Contracts_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode publication contracts.

•       Crafts_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode crafts.

•       Image_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode images.

•       PAM_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode a PRISM aggregator message.

•       pamW_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode a PRISM aggregator message for Web content.

•       pamP_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode a PRISM aggregator/distributor message package.

•       PSV_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode content in PRISM Source Vocabulary.

•       Recipe_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode recipes.

•       Rights_xsd.zip contains a schema that can be used to encode usage rights.

2.11 PRISM Controlled Vocabularies

PRISM has defined 38 controlled vocabularies using PRISM controlled vocabulary markup.  See The PRISM Controlled Vocabulary Specification [PRISMCVS].  All CVs are available in CVs.zip.

2.13 PSV Content Management Schema

In order to assist implementers develop a PSV-based federated content management solution, the nextPub Working Group is providing an XML Schema (XSD) that can serve as the basis for the design of a PSV content repository. 

Note: The PSV CM schema is not designed for tagging content.  It is provided simply to serve as a basis for the design of a content repository.  Metadata building blocks from this schema can be combined with HTML5 by publishers who wish to develop a hybrid PSV metadata and content tagging schema.

2.14 Other PSV Schemas

Because PSV is a flexible framework, it supports many different use case scenarios.  A different schema, using the PSV metadata fields and content encoding can be developed for each different use case.  In order to assist PSV implementers, the nextPub Working Group is planning to provide a number of XML Schemas (XSDs) to support common use cases including tagging an article and transmitting articles to content aggregators.


3     Introduction

3.1    Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this document is to define a number of controlled vocabularies or values with precise definitions, for key PRISM metadata fields.The PRISM Controlled Vocabularies found in this document include:

Vocabulary Name

Intent

PRISM Aggregation Type

The PRISM Aggregation Type CV provides values for prism:aggregationType.  This vocabulary specifies the unit of delivery for content, not only to aggregators but to distributors and devices.

PRISM Audience Sector

The PRISM Audience Sector CV provides values to define a category of targeted audience.

PRISM Compliance Profile

The prism:complianceProfile provides values to identify the compliance of a metadata instance.

PRISM Content Type

The PRISM Content Type CV provides values to identify the type of nextPub content building block and is used with the prism:contentType field.  This element can be refined by PRISM Genre metadata

PRISM Genre

The PRISM Genre CV provides values to identify the intellectual content of a resource in terms of its semantic, structural, and/or functional use and is used with the prism:genre element.

PRISM Issue Type

The PRISM Issue Type CV provides values that describes the issue type for a magazine or serial publication issue.  The controlled vocabulary provides values for the prism:issueType  field.

PRISM Platform

The PRISM Platform CV provides values to identify the delivery platform of a resource. PRISM Platform is more generic than dc:medium in that is used to specify the medium of the physical carrier of a resource in a much more precise way. The controlled vocabulary provides values for platform= attribute on elements that may vary depending on the delivery platform.

PRISM Presentation Type

The PRISM Presentation Type CV provides values for dc:type that specify presentation type for the resource.  For nextPub implementations, this controlled vocabulary provides class= attribute values for the HTML5 figure element to express the presentation type of the figure.

PRISM Print Ad Size

The PRISM Print Ad Size CV provides values for adsml-at:FixedPrintArea field.

PRISM Publishing Frequency

The PRISM Publishing Frequency CV provides values that describes the publication frequency for a magazine or serial publication issue.  The controlled vocabulary provides values for the prism:issueFrequency field.

PRISM Role

The PRISM Role CV provides values for the prism:role attribute for dc:creator and dc:contributor. While the role= attribute is optional, it provides a mechanism to provide more granular role metadata for a creator or contributor.

PRISM Tablet Ad Type

The PRISM Tablet Ad Type CV provides values for the prism:tabletAdType field.

PAM Class

The PAM Class CV provides values for elements in the PAM message that use the class= attribute to provide more precise description of elements or groups of elements. While the class attribute can be used with almost any XHTML element, it is most commonly used with p and div.

PSV Content Class

The PSV Content Class CV provides values for elements in the HTML5 body of an article or other content that use the class= attribute to provide more precise description. While the class attribute can be used with almost any HTML5 element, it is most commonly used with <p, <div and <h* heading tags.

PSV Figure Class

The PSV Figure Class CV provides values for markup of content within an HTML5 <figure

PSV Inline Class

The PSV Inline Class controlled vocabulary provides values for the markup of inline content in the HTML5 body of an article or other content.  These values should be used for the class= attribute should be used exclusively with the <span element.

Table 3.1 PRISM Controlled Vocabularies

3.2    Changes Made by Version 3.0

Changes in PRISM 3.0 Controlled Vocabularies include:

4     PRISM Controlled Vocabularies

This section lists the controlled vocabularies and the valid terms or a lexicon for each vocabulary in the prism: namespace.  When used in the form of an attribute in PAM, the attribute should bear the prism: namespace prefix.  When used to provide attribute values in nextPub source <body, the value should bear the prism: namespace prefix before the vocabulary

Example:

Profile 1 (PAM)                        <div prism:class=”box”>

Profile 1 (nextPub HTML5)       <figure class=”prism:slideshow”>

NOTE: the controlled vocabularies have been significantly updated with the release of PRISM 3.0.  New vocabularies have been added and new terms have been added.  These are intended to be used in any application built on PRISM metadata including the PRISM Aggregator Message and nextPub Source tagging.

4.2    PRISM Aggregation Type Vocabulary

The PRISM Aggregation Type defines the aggregation or delivery unit of a resource, and is used to refine prism:aggregationType. The Aggregation Type captures different information than the format of a resource (e.g. jpeg or mpeg), the resource type (e.g. table or illustration) or the intellectual content/genre (e.g. election results or interviews).

For example:

<prism:aggregationType>magazine</prism:aggregationType>

<dc:format>text/html</dc:format>

<prism:contentType>article</prism:contentType>

<prism:genre>feature</prism:genre>

NOTE: PRISM recommends against the use of the #other value currently allowed in this controlled vocabulary unless no appropriate term is available.  Please notify IDEAlliance if you are routinely using #other so that value can be added to future versions of the controlled vocabulary specifications.

Table 4.5 Content Type Controlled Vocabulary

NOTE: A #other value is not allowed in this controlled vocabulary.  The best practice is to use #contentBlock for additional types of content and to refine that value using prism:genre.

4.6    PRISM Genre Vocabulary

The PRISM Genre controlled vocabulary describes the genre, or the intellectual content of the resource. Values from this CV can be used to refine the prism:contentType metadata field in a semantic, structural, and/or functional respect.  Sample genres include obituaries, biographies and reviews. PRISM Genre refines the content type. We recommend indicating all applicable genres with the prism:genre metadata field.

The URI for the PRISM Genre vocabulary is genre.xml.

Note: Best Practice is to list genre from most inclusive to most specific in sequential order. So, an article may have the genre “Cover Story” and then “Biography”.

4.7    PRISM Issue Type Vocabulary

The PRISM Issue Type Vocabulary identifies the type of periodical issue.

The URI for the PRISM Issue Type Controlled Vocabulary is: http://prismstandard.org/vocabularies/3.0/issuetype.xml.

Term

Definition

#regularIssue

A regular issue is an issue of a periodical that would be included as a part of a subscription.  This applies even if a single issue is purchased from a newsstand.

#specialIssue

A special issue is an issue of a periodical that is of special interest and is not included as part of a subscription.  A special issue must be purchased individually, typically from a newsstand.

Table 4.7 Controlled Vocabulary for Issue Type

4.8    PRISM Platform Vocabulary

The PRISM Platform vocabulary identifies the publication platform of a resource. The controlled vocabulary provides values for prism:originPlatform, prism:alternateTitle, and prism:teaser among others for PAM XML tagging. The vocabulary is also recommended for use in combination with the distribution channel open vocabulary for PRISM Usage Rights namespace elements.

For example:

Profile 1 (XML)                        <prism:originPlatform platform=”web”>

Profile 2 (RDF/XML)    <prism:originPlatform rdf:resource=”platform.xml#print”/>

Note: PRISM recommends against the use of the ‘other’ value allowed in the PRISM Platform controlled vocabulary unless no appropriate term is available.  Please notify IDEAlliance if you are routinely using other so that value can be added to future versions of the controlled vocabulary specifications.

The URI for the PRISM Platform Controlled Vocabulary is: http://prismstandard.org/vocabularies/3.0/platform.xml.

Table 4.8 Controlled Vocabulary for Platform

4.9    PRISM Presentation Type Vocabulary

The Presentation Type defines the way that a resource presents information or the stereotypical form of the resource. PRISM Presentation Type separates the style of content presentation from the nature of the intellectual content.

The PRISM Presentation Type captures different information than the format of a resource, as specified using MIME types for dc:format. It also differs from the prism:platform= which specifies the intended generic delivery platform for the resource. For example a resource with a dc:format of a JPEG could be a photo, line drawing, or chart. PRISM Presentation Type specifies whether the JPEG is a photo, line drawing or chart. The PRISM Presentation Type is also not specific to its intellectual content (e.g. election results vs. death rates can both be rendered as JPEG charts, but not as photographs).

Note: The rendering software does not care about the presentation type, but potential users of the content do.

The Presentation Type values form a controlled vocabulary for the dc:type element. For nextPub application, this controlled vocabulary provides class= values for the HTML5 <figure element.

Example:

Profile 1 (XML):                       <dc:type>map</dc:type>

Profile 1 (nextPub HTML5)       <figure class=”prism:slideshow”>

Profile 2 (RDF/XML):   <dc:type rdf:resource=”resourcetype.xml#map”/>

Multiple values for the resource type within an article can be expressed with multiple dc:type statements. 

The URI for the PRISM Presentation Type vocabulary is: http://prismstandard.org/vocabularies/3.0/presentationtype.xml.
