Dublin Core Education Application Profile Task Group

The DC-Education Community decided at the DC-2007 Conference in Singapore to form a new Task Group in order to finish the DC-Education Application Profile by mid-2008. This page will hold Task Group members' names and contact details, details of meetings and activities, and draft documents for feedback and discussion.

Work on gathering use cases has been carried out by Lara Whitelaw of The Open University, and Sarah Currier of Intrallect Ltd. This work was due for completion by 29 February 2008; the use cases and usage scenarios gathered are now available here on the wiki on the use cases page.

Meanwhile, Task Group member Phil Barker of Heriot Watt University / JISC CETIS has been developing a Draft Learning Materials Domain Model as part of the JISC-funded Learning Materials Application Profile Scoping Study. The LMAP Expert Group met in Glasgow, Scotland on 5 March 2008. Phil will be reporting back on the outcome of this meeting at the Task Group webconference, particularly with reference to the domain model and how the Task Group and the study participants can continue to work together.

In addition, the EC-funded ProLEARN consortium, led by Task Group member Mikael Nilsson, have published a very useful Harmonization of Metadata Standards document, which is also well worth a read and highly relevant to this Group.

Task Group Membership

The Task Group consists of DC-Ed Community members who are willing to take on specific tasks. Input of the wider community will be sought at every opportunity.
