    * possible ramifications of using ERC to express RDF and
    * which open-source packages might be best to rely on in building a stable release of a tool that performs a mapping from kernel/erc to RDF/Turtle?
    * feasibility of this approach was established by Charles' work mapping ERC to Refer to Turtle
    * next development effort is on John's "to do" list for a future release of the ANVL.pm package (in Perl) 		    * ERC module (Perl) now available at http://search.cpan.org/~jak/File-ERC-0.01/
    * ERC low level method takes

     `erc: name1;name2;name3|title;subtitle|date|where|vellum|because|a|b|c`

    and produces

     {{{@prefix erc: <http://purl.org/kernel/elements/1.1/>
     @prefix this: <where>
     this: erc:who """name1; name2; name3""";
           erc:what """title; subtitle""";
           erc:when """date""";
           erc:where """where""";
           erc:how """vellum""";
           erc:why """because""";}}}

    * Adrian: good idea to have a command-line tool (with documentation) linked from the DCMI kernel page
    * Charles: there are some minor problems with ERC.pm output; ok to combine his rapper script with ERC.pm
    * Charles: what about using the W3C RDF vallidator? he's using RDF triple store and SPARQL
    * Bill: add to Adrian's scenario a demo showing ERC conversion in action -- could be a canned demo in a flash file linked from DCMI kernel page
    * John: I've been wanting to tweak the comma convention for indicating inversion points in element values; instead of having the comma at the beginning, the principle of "least surprise" suggests that placing it at the end of the element would be equally machine readable but less disruptive from point of view of human scanning; will write this up for the group to review

I'm pleased to say that there's an ERC module (in Perl) now available at

        http://search.cpan.org/~jak/File-ERC-0.01/

It takes

     erc: name1;name2;name3|title;subtitle|date|where|vellum|because|a|b|c

and produces

  @prefix erc: <http://purl.org/kernel/elements/1.1/>
  @prefix this: <where>
  this: erc:who """name1; name2; name3""";
        erc:what """title; subtitle""";
        erc:when """date""";
        erc:where """where""";
        erc:how """vellum""";
        erc:why """because""";

Charles, would you mind glancing at my formatting, perhaps downloading
and testing? If it passes the laugh test, I think we can point to it
as an alpha version.
