Eprints Application Profile Wiki

More positive reactions from repositories community at Open Scholarship 2006 - The co-ordinators of the Dublin Core Application Profile for ePrints (Scholarly Works) recently ran a tutorial at the Open Scholarship 2006 Conference in Glasgow. The tutorial, presented by Julie Allinson from UKOLN and Andy Powell from the Eduserv Foundation, presented the profile to the group and opened the floor for comments, reactions and suggestions. There was much interest in the work, particularly from European projects looking into similar metadata issues. Concern over the complexity of the model was discussed, with the authors of the profile arguing for necessary complexity to facilitate a much richer metadata set for use by aggregators. Slides from the tutorial are available (PPT) on the Eprints Application Profile wiki.
