Purpose

The purpose of the DCMI Libraries Application Profile Task Group is to finalise the DCMI Libraries Application Profile, taking into account latest best practice and the agreements reached at the meeting in October 2007.

The Task Group reports to the DCMI Libraries Community
Related discussion will take place on the Libraries Community list.

Work Plan

1) Review and revision of DC-Lib:

a) check and update in line with current DC practice for declaring Application Profiles
b) check and update current definitions,notes etc for DC terms – there have been revisions
c) check URIs and update if necessary
d) amend other more general errors found during review
e) consider the incorporation of new terms created by DCMI since last version of DC-Lib

2) Review the original proposals for “captured”, “version” and “holdingLocation”

a) revise the original proposals to provide supporting material to the Usage Board
b) draft the new terms and incorporate in DC-Lib using “example.org” URIs

3) Ascertain the correct procedure and submit the revised profile to the Usage Board for review and registration.

The Task Group is working on a RevisionDraft since August 2009.

DC Libraries Application Profile (DC-Lib)

See the latest version of DC-Lib

DC-Lib is a draft application profile that proposes how to use the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set in libraries and library-related applications and projects. It was originally prepared by the DCMI-Libraries Application Profile drafting committee, a subset of the DCMI-Libraries Working Group.

The most recent version was prepared in August 2004 and incorporates decisions made by the DCMI Usage Board at its meetings in 2003 and issues discussed in the WG meeting in Seattle in September 2003. It has been reformatted in conformance with the Dublin Core Application Profile Guidelines produced by the CEN MMI-DC Workshop.
