Group Work Plan

The goal of the DCMI Kernel Task Group is to complete the Kernel Application Profile (KAP). This includes the following tasks:

Compare the core DC semantics and DCMI Abstract Model with kernel metadata elements and the Electronic Resource Citation (ERC) record structure for holding kernel resource descriptions.
Define a mapping between the Kernel description model and the description model provided by the DCMI Abstract Model (eg, how the Kernel "story context" affects the meaning of an element label).
Clarify the nature and status of Kernel elements and their relationships to DCMI terms.

Work will be accomplished via a combination of email communication and conference calls. The current workplan is as follows:

2006-12-20	Issue call for group members with existing draft KAP
2007-01-18	Kickoff meeting via conference call
2007-02-15	Review draft 2 KAP for definitions and scope
2007-04-26	Review draft 3 KAP for impact on abstract model
2007-05-31	Review draft 4 KAP for completeness and consistency
2007-07-26	Issue draft 5 KAP and draft 1 maintenance procedures
2007-08-30	Report to Task Group and Advisory Board meetings, DC 2007
2007-09-06	Incorporate feedback from the DC 2007 conference
2007-10-25	Final integration and review
2007-11-29	Close down the Kernel Task Group

IMPORTANT: Do not cite materials in this Wiki other than for the purposes of collaborating on document creation. This Wiki is intended to be used to work on draft copies of documents. Finished documents will be published, in a persistent and citable form, on the DCMI Web site (or elsewhere in some cases).

This Wiki supports the work of the DCMI Kernel Metadata Task Group.

This is a Web-based collaborative area for the task group, providing a shared space where documents can be created and edited collaboratively. To edit documents in this Wiki you must first register, login and be given edit privileges by one of the Task Group chairs. If you do not have such privileges, you can read documents, but you can not edit them.

A WikiWikiWeb is a collaborative hypertext environment, with an emphasis on easy access to and modification of information. This wiki can also link to InterWiki space.

MoinMoin is a Python WikiClone, based on PikiPiki. The name is a common German slang expression explained on the MoinMoin page. If you run a Wiki using MoinMoin, please add it to the MoinMoinWikis page. Contributed code is on the MacroMarket, ActionMarket and ParserMarket pages. For more details and further topics, see the MoinMoin page.

You can edit any page by pressing the link at the bottom of the page. Capitalized words joined together form a WikiName, which hyperlinks to another page. The highlighted title searches for all pages that link to the current page. Pages which do not yet exist are linked with a question mark: just follow the link and you can add a definition.
