Using Downloaded Files

JSON Schema Validation

import Ajv from 'ajv';

// Load schema
const schema = await fetch('/specs/schemas/zinecore2.schema.json').then(r => r.json());

// Validate your data
const ajv = new Ajv();
const validate = ajv.compile(schema);

const myZine = {
  "title": "Mutate Zine",
  "creator": ["Judith Arcana"],
  // ... more fields
};

const valid = validate(myZine);
if (!valid) {
  console.error(validate.errors);
}

TypeScript Integration

import type { ZineCore2, AgentCore2 } from './specs/types';

const zine: ZineCore2 = {
  id: "zine_001",
  title: "Mutate Zine",
  creator: ["Judith Arcana"],
  subject: ["feminism", "reproductive-rights"],
  genre: ["personal-zine"],
  date: "2024",
  language: ["en"],
  rights: "cc-by-4.0"
};

const agent: AgentCore2 = {
  id: "agent_judith_arcana",
  kind: "Person",
  display_name: "Judith Arcana"
};

JSON-LD Context Usage

import jsonld from 'jsonld';

// Load context
const context = await fetch('/specs/contexts/zinecore2-context.jsonld').then(r => r.json());

// Expand your data
const myZine = {
  "@context": context,
  "title": "Mutate Zine",
  "creator": ["Judith Arcana"]
};

const expanded = await jsonld.expand(myZine);
// Now your data uses full URIs for semantic web

DC TAP Tables

The Dublin Core Tabular Application Profile (TAP) CSV files are designed for:

Librarians reviewing metadata specifications
Crosswalks to other metadata standards
Documentation of field mappings
Import into metadata management systems

Each row defines a metadata element with:

Property ID (Dublin Core or local namespace)
Label
Cardinality (required/optional, repeatable/single)
Value constraints
Notes
