Abstract

Application profiles fulfill similar functions to other forms of metadata documentation, such as data dictionaries. The preference is for application profiles to be machine-readable and machine-actionable, so that they can provide validation and processing instructions, not unlike XML schema does for XML documents. These goals are behind the work of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative in the work that has been done over the last decade to develop application profiles for data that uses the Resource Description Framework model of the World Wide Web Consortium.
