== DC-Education Application Profile ==

There is now a ["DC-Education Application Profile Task Group"] under formation for completing work on this AP.

At its face-to-face meetings at DC-2004 in Shanghai, DC-2005 in Madrid, DC-2006 in Manzanillo, and [http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dn8z3gs_44gfmxc7 DC-2007 in Singapore], the DC-Ed Community (formerly the Working Group) moved forward in the development of a DC-Education Application Profile (AP).  Summaries of recent work and workplan are noted further down this page.  For details on specific work items follow these links:

The Joint DCMI/IEEE LTSC Taskforce, is producing a joint DCMI/IEEE specification making recommendations for using IEEE LOM Elements in Dublin Core metadata. To find out more about that effort, visit the [http://dublincore.org/educationwiki/DCMIIEEELTSCTaskforce Taskforce wiki]

=== Workplan for Drafting the Application Profile ===

The original workplan involved a relatively small Drafting Committee to prepare proposals for consideration.  We thank the Drafting Committee for their efforts (reflected in versions 0.2 and 0.3, referenced below), and hope they will continue their involvement in the Application Profile.  For historical information on the Drafting Committee, see the ["Drafting Committee Workpage"].

The plan for 2006/2007 enlisted the Community as a whole in the effort, coordinated by the DC-Ed Community Moderators, [mailto:dih1@cornell.edu Diane Hillmann] and [mailto:s.currier@intrallect.com Sarah Currier].  There was a lot of input and interest, with new people joining.  

For 2007/2008, the Community will form a ["DC-Education Application Profile Task Group"] specifically to work on completing the AP.  The Community as a whole will still be able to monitor, discuss and feed back on developments on the [http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?LIST=DC-EDUCATION Community Mailing List] and wiki.  If you wish to volunteer to be on the Task Group, or have comments or feedback on any of the DC-Ed AP work, please contact one of the Moderators.  Community members are strongly encouraged to comment on issues and drafts presented on the mailing list and wiki, and to bring up issues relevant to usage of the AP in their own projects and organizations.
