The term Application Profile (AP) has recently become highly topical, with initiatives demanding APs which combine elements from a number of different existing standardized metadata schemas whilst maintaining interoperability and satisfying their own specific requirements through refinements, extensions and additions. This paper describes a hybrid collaborative approach which combines the semantic knowledge of RDF Schemas with the explicit structural, cardinality and data-typing constraints provided by XML Schemas in a complementary manner.
