Use exact string of characters as shown in the list below. The terms are explained in detail in the chapter about vocabularies and semantics. Info:eu-repo is a namespace where the DRIVER Publication types are registered. info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesis info:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesis info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis info:eu-repo/semantics/book info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/review info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/lecture info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper info:eu-repo/semantics/preprint info:eu-repo/semantics/report info:eu-repo/semantics/annotation info:eu-repo/semantics/contributionToPeriodical info:eu-repo/semantics/patent info:eu-repo/semantics/other 2. Publication types (free text): The second occurrence of the DC Element ‘type’ is optional and should be used for the subtype indication of the scientific output. 3. Version (controlled): The last occurrence of the DC Element ‘type’ is recommended and should be used for the version of the scientific output based on the DRIVER-version vocabulary. Use exact text as shown in the list below.
