    Version 3.0 RC 1 (DRAFT)

    Changes since Version 2.0 Final Release:
    • Separation of project and grant data, with the creation of <rioxxterms:grants> alongside <rioxxterms:project>
    • Wider support for persistent identifier (PID) schemes across <rioxxterms:author>, <rioxxterms:contributor>, <rioxxterms:project> and <dc:publisher>, with an increased range of PID schemes recommended to reflect growing maturity in the PID landscape
    • Updates to the usage of RFC 2119 terminology throughout the profile
    • General improvements to language used in profile documentation
    • The name of the 'RIOXX Metadata Application Profile' changed to 'Rioxx: Research Outputs Metadata Schema' to better communicate its purpose
    • <ali:license_ref>, <rioxxterms:author>, <rioxxterms:contributor>, <rioxxterms:project>, <rioxxterms:version_of_record> updated to explicitly note HTTPS use where URI values are specified.
    • Removed the <ali:free_to_read> property.
    • Removed the <rioxxterms:apc> property.
    • Addition of the a new property: <rioxxterms:record_public_release_date> encoded according to ISO8601/W3CDTF.
    • <rioxxterms:publication_date> updated to specify encoding as per ISO8601/W3CDTF, including resources with seasonal publication dates.
    • Controlled list of types in <rioxxterms:type> removed and updated to specify the COAR Controlled Vocabulary Resource Type Genres.
    • Major change to the use of <dc:identifier> to accommodate multiple 'expressions' of the same 'work'. In particular, introduction of <dc:relation> and the parallel use of the 'uri', 'deposit_date', 'resource_exposed_date' and 'type' attributes. The 'type' attribute makes use of schema.org vocabulary definitions.
    • General move away from using the XML 'id' attribute across RIOXX to uniquely identify element content using URI(s) and the introduction of the 'uri' attribute. This change specifically affects <rioxxterms:author>, <rioxxterms:contributor>, <rioxxterms:publisher> and <rioxxterms:type>.
