The first draft of a Library application profile is now available at:
http://dublincore.org/documents/library-application-profile/
This document will be discussed at a meeting of the DC-Libraries Working
Group in Boston, Mass. on 22 August in conjunction with the IFLA
conference. That meeting was previously announced.
The document proposes a possible application profile that clarifies the
use of the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set in libraries
and library-related applications and projects. It was prepared by the
DCMI-Libraries Application Profile working group, a subset
of the DCMI-Libraries Working Group. There are numerous questions and
issues that need to be addressed, so it is a work in progress.
After the Boston meeting of DC-Lib WG the document will be revised for
further consideration at the DC-9 meeting in Tokyo. Any comments may be
sent to [log in to unmask] or to me.
