Education Application Profile
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The wording of this initial draft
relies heavily on the wording of the DC:Libraries Application
Profile. The DC-Education Working Group is indebted to the excellent (and
pioneering) work of the DC-Libraries Working Group and trust that its member
consider our substantial copying as the highest form of flattery.
I. Introduction
The concept of application profiles (see Application profiles:
mixing and matching metadata schemas) has emerged within the Dublin Core
Metadata Initiative as a way to declare which elements from which namespaces are
used in a particular application or project. Application profiles are defined as
schemas which consist of data elements drawn from one or more namespaces,
combined together by implementors, and optimized for a particular local
application.
The DCMI-Education Working Group has explored various uses of the Dublin Core
Metadata Element Set in education and training-related applications and has
envisioned the following possible uses of this application profile:
- to serve as an interchange format between various systems using different
metadata standards/formats;
- to use for harvesting metadata from data sources within and outside of the
education and training domain; and
- to support simple creation of education and training domain records for
resources within a variety of systems.
An education application profile will be a specification that
defines the following:
- required elements;
- permitted Dublin Core elements;
- permitted Dublin Core element refinements;
- permitted schemes and values (e.g. use of a specific controlled vocabulary
or encoding scheme);
- education and training domain elements used from other namespaces; and
- refinement of standard definitions.
This document proposes an application profile that clarifies the use of the
Dublin Core Metadata Element Set in education and training-related applications
and projects. It was originally prepared by the DCMI-Education Application
Profile Drafting Committee, a subset of the DCMI-Education Working Group.
2. Namespaces and Format of entries
The DC-Library Application Profile uses terms from the following
namespaces:
- DCMI Metadata Terms [http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/]
- IEEE Learning Object Metadata (LOM) [???]
- The Usage Board has decided that any encoding scheme that has a URI
defined in a non-DCMI namespace may be used in an application profile. Those
considered so far for this application profile are indicated below.
Format of entries:
This Application Profile is presented following the "
CEN CWA 14855: Dublin Core Application Profiles Guidelines" produced by the
CEN MMI-DC Workshop. On completion of the application profile
according to CWA 14855 and approval of the Usage Board, the Working Group
intends to declare a Resource Description Framework (RDF) version of the profile
according to Guidelines for Machine-processable Representation of Dublin Core
Application Profiles, Final CWA, ISSS/WS-MMI-DC/132 (December 2004) at http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/cen/ws-mmi-dc/.
| Name of
Term |
A unique token assigned to the term. |
| Term
URI |
A Uniform Resource Identifier used to identify the term. |
| Label |
A human-readable label assigned to the term. |
| Defined
By |
An identifier of a namespace, pointer to a schema, or bibliographic
reference for a document within which the term is defined. |
| Source
Definition |
The definition of the term in the namespace in which the term was
orginated. |
| DC-Ed
Definition |
The DC-Education definition of the term. |
| Source
Comments |
Comments on the term from the namespace in which the term
orginated. |
| DC-Lib
Comments |
DC-Education comments about the term. |
| Type of
term |
The grammatical category of the term (e.g. "Element", "Element
Refinement", or "Encoding Scheme"). |
| Refines |
The described term semantically refines the referenced term. A
refinement makes the meaning of the element narrower or more specific. It
will share the meaning of the unrefined element but with a more restricted
scope. |
| Refined
By |
The described term is semantically refined by the referenced
term. |
| Encoding Scheme
For |
The described term, an encoding scheme, qualifies the referenced term.
Using an encoding scheme will aid in the interpretation of an element
value. These schemes include controlled vocabularies and formal notations
or parsing rules. A value expressed using an encoding scheme will thus be
a token selected from a controlled vocabulary (e.g., a term from a
classification system or set of subject headings) or a string formatted in
accordance with a formal notation (e.g., "2000-01-01" as the standard
expression of a date). If an encoding scheme is not understood by a client
or agent, the value may still be useful to a human reader.
In some cases, encoding schemes not yet registered are indicated. These
will be registered and/or approved by the DCMI Usage Board as DC Encoding
Schemes in the future. |
| Has Encoding
Scheme |
The described term is qualified by the referenced encoding
scheme. |
| Obligation |
Indicates whether the element is required to always or sometimes be
present. In this application profile the obligation can be: mandatory
(M), mandatory if applicable (MA),
strongly recommended (R) or optional
(O). Mandatory ensures that some of the elements are
always supported and mandatory if applicable means that this element must
be supported if the information is available. An element with a mandatory
obligation must have a value. The strongly recommended and the optional
elements should be filled with a value if the information is appropriate
to the given resource but if not, they may be omitted. |
| Occurence |
Indicates any limit to the repeatability of the
element. |
3. Table of Contents
General notes regarding all
elements:
- Either a Title or Identifier are mandatory (Identifier is mandatory if
applicable).
- If the record is expressed in a format (e.g., HTML) that allows each
element/qualifier/scheme value to be assigned a language attribute (e.g., the
HTML tag lang="en"), the use of the attribute is permitted for any or all DC
elements.
- All elements may be used in their unqualified form. If using qualified
Dublin Core, additional guidelines are given.
- Any encoding scheme that has a URI defined in a non-DCMI namespace may be
used. Where applicable a table has been created for each encoding scheme in a
separate section following the main body of tables for elements and
refinements.

Coverage will typically include spatial location (a place name or
geographic coordinates), temporal period (a period label, date, or date
range) or jurisdiction (such as a named administrative entity).
Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled
vocabulary (for example, the Thesaurus of Geographic Names [TGN]) and
that, where appropriate, named places or time periods be used in
preference to numeric identifiers such as sets of coordinates or date
ranges. |
