The DCMI Collection Description WG reported in October 2002 that there
had been limited interest in the proposal to develop a DC-based
application profile for collection-level description.
Since that time, however, the co-chairs have received a number of
concrete expressions of interest in this work, and with this support, we
propose to relaunch the activity of the group and review/amend the
existing proposal with the aim of developing an application profile for
collection-level description, applicable to a broad range of collection
types.
Some suggested revised milestones are available at
http://homes.ukoln.ac.uk/~lispj/dc-cd/miles.html
The proposal discussed during 2002 is available at
http://dublincore.org/groups/collections/dccd.html
and the proposal is now presented in the form of an "application
profile" at
http://homes.ukoln.ac.uk/~lispj/dc-cd/appprof.html
If you are interested in this area, we encourage you to join the working
group by subscribing to the mailing list at
