== Issues discussed ==

We mostly discussed status and workplan.

We discussed the LangString issue and decided to try a case-by-case approach:

 * For dcterms:title, use literals
 * For dcterms:description, use a NaturalLanguageObject
 * For new properties, use NaturalLanguageObject

We will then make sure to get feedback on this proposal before moving forward.
