DC-Ed Application Profile Module Aim: to provide a “modular” AP to support interoperable

description of educational aspects of resources. Scope: educationally significant properties available in

Dublin Core + any other educational properties, e.g. elements from the LOM.

Out-of-scope: will not define or give guidelines for usage of non-educational properties, or non-educational usage of properties.

Modular: aim to enable people to “plug in” the AP with other APs they are using, e.g. the Libraries AP, the Scholarly Works AP, Collection Description AP, a modular accessibility AP, or a local AP.

DC-Ed Application Profile Module: Progress Requirements gathering: 49 use cases gathered from 23 countries

and a range of educational sectors. Functional requirements: generic ones drafted; specific ones

based on use cases to be completed. Domain model: draft domain model completed (work-in-progress) To be determined based on all of above Proposed elements (new and existing): To be determined based

on above. Description Set Profile: Exact requirements for this still to be

determined (first attempt at modular AP; DSP requirements unclear).

Usage Guidelines: To be developed.
