Dublin Core Collection Description Working Group Wiki

Welcome to the Wiki of the Dublin Core Collection Description Working Group (DC CD WG). This is a Web-based collaborative area for the working group, providing a shared space where documents can be created and edited collaboratively.

Dublin Core Collection Collection Description Application Profile

The primary focus of the working group is the development of the 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.

Example DC CD AP Descriptions

The DC CD WG is assembling a set of example collection-level descriptions to test the DC CD AP metadata schema. Examples are listed on the following page:

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.

To get an overview over this site and what it contains, see the SiteNavigation page.
