Hi, Paul Walk from UKOLN has written an interesting blog post on this topic, at http://blog.paulwalk.net/2010/01/06/an-agile-approach-to-the-development-of-dublin-core-application-profiles/ In it I think he says that the only fully fledged DCAP written so far is the Scholarly Works Application profile (SWAP). Can that be so? (Jane, is the one for Dryad complete?) cheers, -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Robin Rice EDINA and Data Library University of Edinburgh [log in to unmask] 0131 651 1317 (M, W, F) 0131 651 1431 (T, Th) http://www.ed.ac.uk/is/data-library ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
