I recently took class about building application profiles using metadata schemas.  This involves taking one or more metadata schemas (abstract rather than in XML format) and implementing an XML schema to accurately describe the information used in an application.  For my final project, I wrote an application profile for the EBSCOhost Business Source Complete academic database.  The profile is a very simplified way describing the databases collection of document.  The purpose is to build a schema that captures the data necessary for classifying and searching the documents as well as the data for maintaining the physical files that represent the documents.
