DCMI Education Community

Please go to the Dublin Core™ Education Community Wiki to catch up with the all the latest in DC-Ed.

Community WIKI

The DC-Education Community Wiki is the primary mechanism for reporting on the ongoing activities of the Community. Current activities on the DC-Ed Wiki include:

• DC-Education Application Profile
  This activity is developing an application profile module describing usage of DCMI properties specifically relevant to education.
  The phrase "application profile module" refers to the scope of the
  profile: it will only include properties relevant to describing the educational aspects of any resource, and/or the educational context within which it has been or may be used. The intention is that the DC-Education Application Profile will be usable with other application profiles.

• Joint DCMI/IEEE LTSC Task Force
  This activity is developing a recommended representation of the metadata elements of the IEEE Learning Object Metadata Standard in the Dublin Core™ Abstract Model. The recommendation will include the specification of a number of terms, including properties, syntax encoding schemes, vocabulary encoding schemes as well as vocabularies, that may be used for expressing metadata conforming to the IEEE LOM Standard in Dublin Core™ metadata. The recommendation will also include the specification of namespaces to use for the terms, as well as a basic application profile describing how to combine the specified terms in a way that is compatible with the structural constraints of the IEEE LOM Standard.
