, At the DCMI Advisory Board meeting in Singapore on 1 September, a new Community was established, the DCMI Scholarly Communications Community. This group is a forum for individuals and organisations to exchange information, knowledge and general discussion on issues relating to using Dublin Core for describing research papers, scholarly texts, data objects and other resources created and used within scholarly communications. The group is moderated by Rosemary Russell of UKOLN and Julie Allinson of the University of York who have both become members of the DCMI Advisory Board. An invitation to participate in the Scholarly Communications Community will be distributed shortly on DC-General and on other lists.

, At DC-2007, a Special Session was held on the issue of identifiers, aimed at those interested in finding out more about work underway around identifiers and to participate in identifying the issues from the DCMI community's perspective. Following that meeting, it was decided to set up a new community, the DCMI Identifiers Community to provide a forum to discuss the design and use of identifiers in metadata. The group will be moderated by Douglas Campbell of the National Library of New Zealand. An invitation to participate in this new community will be distributed shortly on DC-General and on other lists.

, The DCMI Directorate is pleased to announce the appointment of two new members to the DCMI Usage Board: Julie Allinson (Library and Archives, University of York, UK) and Pete Johnston (Eduserv Foundation, UK). Andy Powell (Eduserv Foundation, UK) and Stuart Sutton (University of Washington, USA) — both founding members of the Usage Board — have stepped down after six years of service.

, Over the last months, a number of new translations of DCMI documents have been added to the list on the translations page. The latest additions include translations of the DCMI Metadata Terms into Russian; the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set, version 1.1 into German, Persian and Russian; the DCMI Type vocabulary into Russian; Expressing Dublin Core in HTML/XHTML meta and link elements into French and Russian, and Using Dublin Core into French.

, A main outcome of DC-2007 is the "Singapore Framework", a set of documents that together form the specification of a Dublin Core Application Profile. As presented by Mikael Nilsson at DC-2007, this documentation set puts a formal "Description Set Profile" into the context of functional requirements, domain models, syntax bindings, and user guidelines. The Singapore Framework will guide DCMI Task Groups that are developing Application Profiles and underpins the formal evaluation of Application Profiles by the DCMI Usage Board.
