== DC-Education Application Profile ==


At its face-to-face meeting at DC-2004 in Shanghai, the Working Group decided to move forward on developing a DC-Education Application Profile (AP). While work remains on developing the formal mechanisms for referencing IEEE LOM elements in such an AP, the Working Group decided that work on the remainder of the Profile should proceed.  The goal is to set out '''property usage''' for the DCMI properties including the use of value spaces and best practices within the context of education and training.

It is the goal of the Working Group to discuss the full AP at DC-2005 in Madrid and to take the AP to the Usage Board for review at its mid-year meeting.  As noted in the preface to the AP, the Education Working Group is indebted to the excellent, pioneering work of the DC-Libraries Working Group on the DC-Libraries AP.
