The document summarizes the Dublin Core Application Profile for Scholarly Works (ePrints) which provides a richer metadata profile for describing scholarly works in repositories. It outlines the functional requirements, entity-relationship model based on FRBR, and application profile with properties and vocabularies to capture metadata for scholarly works and related entities like expressions, manifestations, and copies. Next steps include developing an XML schema and gaining community acceptance and adoption of the application profile.
