Background and Open Issues
The primary purpose of this community forum is to facilitate the sharing of information and ideas about the use of Dublin Core™ metadata in libraries and the interoperability of established library metadata with that from other domains.
Library Application Profile
The predecessor to this forum, the DC-Libraries Working Group, had made substantial progress on producing a DC application profile (DC-Lib). This profile now becomes the responsibility of the DCMI Library Application Profile Task Group which will prepare an updated version of the profile and submit it to the Usage Board for review and registration. Although the Task Group uses a wiki to carry out the work, any discussion of issues is carried out on the Library Community discussion list at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/dc-libraries.html to allow any member of the community to comment.
RDA
The Libraries Working Group was also involved in the review process of the Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard being developed on the foundations of AACR. Meetings on this topic have been held at the last DC conferences together with representatives from RDA and other metadata communities. Comments have been sent to the developers on RDA drafts and DCMI has been represented at RDA development meetings. After a Data Model Meeting in London in spring 2007 the DCMI/RDA Task Groupwas established.
