[Dspace-general] DC-Education Working Group draft AP

[Louise Ratliff]

Hi,

I want to bring to your attention some work being done by the 
DC-Education Working Group on a formal application profile for 
education metadata.  In a message to the DC-Education list, Stuart 
Sutton includes this information:

"As a result of these developments and a consensus of the WG 
participants at the face-to-face meeting in Shanghai, the work on a 
DC-Education AP has begun.  The first task task is the appointment of a 
volunteer Drafting Committee that will prepare drafts of the AP for 
general discussion by the WG.  On the wiki, we have put up the basic 
template that we will be using for this development work.  Volunteers 
and recommendations of others to serve as members of  the Drafting 
Committee are welcome.  Periodically, over the course of the next six 
months, the Committee will submit drafts to this list for discussion. 
There will be a full session on the AP when the WG meets for DC-2005 in 
Madrid."

The address for the wiki is:

I hope that we will be able to base our Dspace metadata for our UCLA 
learning objects on this evolving AP.

--Louise
