Status of Document:	This is a DCMI Recommended Resource
Description of Document:	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. It does not address the creation of machine-readable implementations of an application profile nor the design of metadata applications in an broader sense. For additional technical detail the reader is pointed to further sources.

Designing the Metadata Record with a Description Set Profile
Usage Guidelines

Appendix B: MyBookCase Description Set Profile
Appendix C: Using RDF properties in profiles: a technical primer

1. Introduction

When it comes to metadata, one size does not fit all. In fact, one size often does not even fit many. The metadata needs of particular communities and applications are very diverse. The result is a great proliferation of metadata formats, even across applications that have metadata needs in common. The Dublin Core™ Metadata Initiative has addressed this by providing a framework for designing a Dublin Core™ Application Profile (DCAP). A DCAP defines metadata records which meet specific application needs while providing semantic interoperability with other applications on the basis of globally defined vocabularies and models.
