Dublin Core Tabular Application Profiles: How to Communicate Metadata Needs and Solutions

This hands-on tutorial is an updated re-run of a successful tutorial from the DCMI 2024 conference. We shall introduce the concept of metadata application profiles, with examples, and explain how DC TAP encodes such profiles. We shall start with simple profiles in order to introduce the key concepts, but we shall ensure that real-world profiles are also covered. Participants will be encouraged to bring examples from their own work that they can use to explore how they could use DC TAP in their own work. We shall illustrate and explore extensions to DC TAP and software applications that allow TAPs to be transformed into ShEx and SHACL, machine encodings of metadata requirements that can be used for data conformance testing and other uses.
