Resource Type
 * DC type element.

 * Still image
 * Text
 * Does not map to any existing core Qubit field.
 * Handle by Qubit custom field (property::name="resource_type" value=" ").
 * Note similarity to custom field in RAD template for managing RAD General material designation.
 * Move to core Qubit field in information_object table?

Format
 * DC format element.
 * Use only on Simple DC template; in Qualified DC, splits into separate fields for Extent and Medium.
 * Maps to Qubit information_object::extent_and_medium field.

Extent
 * DC extent qualifier (refines DC format element).
 * Use only on Qualified DC template.
 * Does not map to any existing core Qubit field (partially overlaps with information_object::extent_and_medium).
 * Handle via Qubit property::name</tt>="dc_extent" value</tt>=" ".

Medium
 * DC medium qualifier (refines DC format</tt> element).
 * Use only on Qualified DC template.
 * Does not map to any existing core Qubit field (partially overlaps with information_object::extent_and_medium</tt>).
 * Handle by Qubit custom field (property::name</tt>="dc_medium" value</tt>=" ").

Description
 * DC description</tt> element.
 * Use on both Simple and Qualified DC templates.
 * Maps to Qubit information_objectscope_and_content field.

Abstract
 * DC abstract qualifier (refines DC description</tt> element).
 * Use on Qualified DC template only.
 * Does not map to any existing core Qubit field.
 * Handle by Qubit custom field (property::name</tt>="abstract" value</tt>=" ").
 * Note correlation with EAD  </tt> and MODS  </tt> elements.

Table of contents
 * DC tableOfContents qualifier (refines DC description</tt> element).
 * Use on Qualified DC template only.

 * Note correlation with MODS <tableOfContents></tt> element.

Language / Script of material
 * DC <tt>language</tt> element.
 * Use on DC Simple template; for DC Qualified, move to Access and use area div (better manage screen real estate).
 * Maps to Qubit <tt>property::information_object_language</tt> and <tt>property::information_object_script</tt>

Rights management
 * DC <tt>rights</tt> element.
 * Use on DC Simple template; for DC Qualified, move to Access and use area div (better manage screen real estate).
 * Discrepancy between DC authorities for label: "Rights Management" (User Guide) and "Rights" (Element Set Version 1.1).
 * Content maps to 2 Qubit fields: <tt>information_object::access_conditions</tt> and <tt>information_object::reproduction_conditions</tt>.
 * Recommend handling as Qubit <tt>property</tt>, reserving core Qubit fields for direct mapping to DC qualifiers (accessRights and licenses).
