| Charter: | The DCMI Standards Community is forum for individuals involved in various standardization efforts to keep in touch with each other and to monitor the development of the Dublin Core as national and international standard. The mailing list of the community also acts as information channel for issues related to the function of DCMI as Maintenance Agency for ISO 15836 and ANSI/NISO Z39.85. |
DCMI is Maintenance Agency for:
ISO 15836:2003 Information and documentation - The Dublin Core metadata element set
The responsible committee is TC 46 - Information and Documentation SC 4 - Technical Interoperability.
The role of DCMI as the official ISO Maintenance Agency for ISO 15836 The Dublin Core Metadata Element Set is agreed with the Secretariat of ISO TC46/SC4. One important aspect of the Maintenance Agency responsibilities is to promote the Dublin Core Standard through conferences, presentations, publications and the publication of implementation tools such as guidelines, schemas and specifications. As ISO 15836 is not a complicated standard (describing the basic 15 elements), it was agreed that there is no need for the Maintenance Agency to process defect reports and Approved Amendments.
ISO TC46/SC4 meeting May 2007: The standard ISO 15836 (Dublin Core) Maintenance Agency report for the ISO TC46/SC4 meeting 9 May 2007 is available. ISO-TC46-SC4_Status_report_DC_May2007.pdf
After publication of the revised ANSI/NISO Z39.85 (see below) the next step is to start the five year review of ISO 15836:2003 in ISO TC46/SC4.
At the meeting 9 May 2007 of ISO TC46/SC4 this resolution was approved by all participants: SC4 resolves that ISO15836 is revised to undergo a minor revision to align it with ANSI/NISO Z39.85 The Dublin Core Metadata Element Set and be submitted for FDIS vote.
This resolution indicates the fastest possible way to a revised ISO 15836.
Leif Andresen is the DCMI representative to the ISO/TC46/SC4.
DCMI is Maintenance Agency for:
ANSI/NISO Z39.85-2001 Dublin Core Metadata Element Set
As the result of a five-year review, an updated version of the The Dublin Core Metadata Element Set has been published as ANSI/NISO Z39.85-2007: http://www.niso.org/standards/standard_detail.cfm?std_id=725. The revision was prepared by the Usage Board of. The changes were done to clarify intended semantics and to bring the wording of the definitions and usage comments into line with the language of the DCMI Abstract Model.
Leif Andresen is the DCMI representative to the NISO.
Many years ago Dublin Core version 1.0 of the fifteen elements was promoted by endorsement as an RFC. A revised version of RFC2413 was published by John Kunze in December 2006.
John Kunze is the DCMI representative to the IETF Secretariat.
