Dublin Core working drafts
The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) has a couple of new working drafts:
- Interoperability Levels for Dublin Core Metadata. From its description: "This document discusses the design choices involved in designing applications for different types of interoperability. At Level 1, applications use data components with shared natural- language definitions. At Level 2, data is based on the formal-semantic model of the W3C Resource Description Framework. At Level 3, data is structured as Description Sets (records). At Level 4, data content is subject to a shared set of constraints (described in a Description Set Profile)."
- Guidelines for Dublin Core Application Profiles. From the description: "This document provides guidelines for the creation of Dublin Core Application Profiles. The document explains the key components of a Dublin Core Application Profile and walks through the process of developing a profile. The document is aimed at designers of application profiles -- people who will bring together metadata terms for use in a specific context."
