Dublin Core 
DCMI term declarations represented in XML schema language 
Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) 
XML Schemas provide a means for defining the structure, content and semantics of XML documents, including metadata. These support the encoding of Qualified Dublin Core metadata records, including the use of element refinements and encoding schemes, and follow the conventions described in the Guidelines for expressing Dublin Core in XML.

Expressing Simple Dublin Core in RDF/XML
Dave Beckett.
Institute for Learning and Research Technology. July 31, 2002
Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI)
This document explains how to encode the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES) in Resource Description Framework (RDF) / Extensible Markup Language (XML), provides a Document Type Definition (DTD) to validate the documents and describes a method to link them from web pages.

Guidelines for Implementing Dublin Core in XML
Andy Powell and Pete Johnson.
University of Bath. September 9, 2002
Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI)
This document provides guidelines for people implementing Dublin Core metadata applications using XML. It considers both simple (unqualified) DC and qualified DC applications. In each case, the underlying metadata model is described (in a syntax neutral way), followed by some specific guidelines for XML implementations. Some guidance on the use of non-DC metadata within DC metadata applications is also provided.

Interoperability
InfoStructureBase (ISB) 
Ministry of Science, Technology and Development (Denmark)
The ISB Web site provides information about data interchange standards for the public and private sector. The development and publication of standards is supported with four different tools, including the Web site, a communities of practice tool, an international standards repository, and a UDDI (universal description, discovery and integration of Web services) tool. ISB is part of the Danish XML Project.

Universal Description, Discovery and Integration of Web Services (UDDI)
OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards)
UDDI creates a standard interoperable platform that enables organizations and applications to find and use Web services over the Internet. UDDI is a cross-industry effort driven by major platform and software providers, as well as marketplace operators and e-business leaders within the OASIS consortium. The UDDI project takes advantage of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards such as XML, HTTP and Domain Name System (DNS) protocols.

Working Groups
Extensible Markup Language (XML) 
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879). Originally designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing, XML is also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere. This page describes the work being done at W3C within the XML Activity, and how it is structured.
See also Organization: World Wide Web Consortium 

Syntax and Languages Sub-group 
Government of Canada
The mandate of this sub-group of the Government On-Line Metadata Working Group (GOL MWG) includes providing advice to the GOL MWG on metadata language technologies, including XML, HTML and RDF.  XML resources are available from the sub-group's Links page.
