Some projects using Dublin Core

[Terry Kuny]

Hi,

Here are some projects using the Dublin Core. If I 
were to make an educated guess, I think that DC will be
found in a lot more places in the very near future.

1. SOLINET's Monticello Electronic Library 

URL: http://www.solinet.net/monticello/monticel.htm

The basic function of Monticello Electronic Library 
is to link distributed regional resources regardless 
of source or type of information. The Dublin Core
Element Set is being used to provide semantic 
interoperability between several databases of 
electronic media and record types including SGML EAD
Finding Aid, MARC and GILS collections. 

2. The National Library of Australia and the 
National Library of New Zealand's National 
Document and Information Service (NDIS) Project:

Nation Document and Information Service (NDIS) Project 
(National Library of Australia) will provide access to 
70 databases covering law, journals, library resources, 
community resources, and research. The Dublin Core will 
be used to normalize a wide variety of data under a 
single structure. 

3. The Nordic Metadata Project

Among Nordic countries there is a special 
need for a shared metadata creation system, 
as it will facilitate further the already active 
use of ILL and document delivery services within Scandinavia. 
The Dublin Core is being used to provide and enhance end-user 
services by making a diversity of digital documents more easily 
searchable and deliverable over the Net. 

4. German Mathematical Society (DMV)
Mathematics Preprint Index: 
DC in an Application

There is a paper on this project in English at:
