- java.lang.Enum<DcElement>
- - org.gbif.dwc.terms.DcElement

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DcElement>, AlternativeNames, Term
```
public enum DcElement
extends Enum<DcElement>
implements Term, AlternativeNames
```
All Dublin Core terms with namespace http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/. All terms exist as DcTerm under a different namespace, but DcElement values are allowed to be free text, whereas DcTerm values must be a member of a specific class and therefore given by URI.

public static DcElement[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (DcElement c : DcElement.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static DcElement valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Enum<DcElement>
  - simpleName
```
public String simpleName()
```
    Description copied from interface: Term
    
    The simple term name without any namespace or paths. For example scientificName.
    
    Specified by:
    
    simpleName in interface Term
  - alternativeNames
```
public String[] alternativeNames()
```
    Specified by:
    
    alternativeNames in interface AlternativeNames
    
    Returns:
    
    array of simple, alternative term names
  - isClass
```
public boolean isClass()
```
    Description copied from interface: Term
    
    Informs if a term is generally used as a class term, i.e. defining rowTypes not properties. For example VernacularName, Taxon or Occurrence
    
    Specified by:
    
    isClass in interface Term
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the term is defining a class instead of a property, e.g. Taxon
  - prefix
```
public String prefix()
```
    Description copied from interface: Term
    
    A unique standard prefix representing the namespace. For example dwc.
    
    Specified by:
    
    prefix in interface Term
  - namespace
```
public URI namespace()
```
    Description copied from interface: Term
    
    The namespace the terms are in. Default implementations here expect the namespace to end with a slash.
    
    Specified by:
    
    namespace in interface Term
