| About the proposers |
The term is proposed by the Dublin Core Collection Description Working Group. One of the primary aims of the WG is the development of a Dublin Core Application Profile (DCAP) for collection-level description, i.e. for the description of a collection as a resource, rather than the description of the individual items that make up that collection. Records of the activity of the WG are available in the mailing list archives. The current draft of the Collection Description Application Profile is available at |
