Discussions of what the DCMI-NKOS Task Group has done (by then) and start thinking about the testing.

• Functional Requirements – Leader: Margie Hlava and Ahsan Morshed
• Domain Model – Leader: Maja Zumer
• Description Set Profile and Usage Guidelines
  • a) Metadata terms (elements) – Leader: Gail Hodge, Doug Tudhope, and Diane Vizine-Goetz (combination of what is on the NKOS site and the JISC Core)

1. According to the Guidelines for Dublin Core Application Profiles, a DCAP is a document (or set of documents) that specifies and describes the metadata used in a particular application. To accomplish this, a profile:

• describes what a community wants to accomplish with its application (Functional Requirements);
• characterizes the types of things described by the metadata and their relationships (Domain Model);
• enumerates the metadata terms to be used and the rules for their use (Description Set Profile and Usage Guidelines); and
• defines the machine syntax that will be used to encode the data (Syntax Guidelines and Data Formats).
