Status: This Task Group is currently active.
Established: 2006-12-18
Purpose: This Task Group will finalise the DCMI Collection description Application Profile, establish procedures for the ownership and maintenance of the profile, and establish procedures for the ownership and maintenance of terms used in the profile.

IMPORTANT: Do not cite materials in this Wiki other than for the purposes of collaborating on document creation. This Wiki is intended to be used to work on draft copies of documents. Finished documents will be published, in a persistent and citable form, on the [WWW]DCMI Web site (or elsewhere in some cases).

This Wiki supports the work of the DCMI Collection Description Application Profile Task Group (DC CD AP TG).

This is a Web-based collaborative area for the task group, providing a shared space where documents can be created and edited collaboratively. To edit documents in this Wiki you must first register, login and be given edit privileges by a Wiki administrator. If you do not have such privileges, you can read documents, but you can not edit them.

Dublin Core Collection Description Application Profile

The primary focus of the working group is the development of the [WWW]Dublin Core Collection Description Application Profile (DC CD AP) and documents in this work area are created to support that activity.

The DC CD AP is a specification of how terms from the Dublin Core metadata vocabularies (together with terms from other vocabularies) are used to construct a description of a collection.

Wiki

A WikiWikiWeb is a collaborative hypertext environment, with an emphasis on easy access to and modification of information. This wiki can also link to InterWiki space.

You can edit any page by pressing the link at the bottom of the page. Capitalized words joined together form a WikiName, which hyperlinks to another page. The highlighted title searches for all pages that link to the current page. Pages which do not yet exist are linked with a question mark: just follow the link and you can add a definition.
