I integrated the review questions into a table and added "considerations" to provide more context for the questions. I also tried to integrate some of the later discussion points (some still quite open) into the table. What I have added in the "considerations" may be right, wrong, and/or just plain contentious. I thought it would at least provide some direction for moving the criteria discussion forward.=20 I did _not_ actually edit the text that was originally on the wiki page but instead shoved that original text to the bottom of the page. I have also included here a listing of the process document issues I caught in my review of that text. They are set out below and also attached in a text file. This is probably as far as I am going to get on these tasks before we meet in Barceloa. ++++++++++++ REVIEW OF PROCESS DOCUMENT (http://dublincore.org/usage/documents/process/)=20 SECTION 6.1. Application Profiles Subject to Review --We still do not have a definitive definition of a "DCMI Strategic Activity." It is framed as the primary mechanism for determining which initiatives will be bringing application profiles to the Usage Board. =20 SECTION 6.2. Documentation of Application Profiles --The section states that the applicant must include "an identifier of the element set where [the term] is defined, ideally in the form of URIs for individual terms." Since the terms have to conform to the Abstract Model, don't we _require_ "URIs for the individual terms"? SECTIONS 6.4 through 6.8 are numbered incorrectly. There is no section 6.3. SECTION 6.5. Evaluation of terms in Application Profiles. =20 --The section speaks of the "use of terms related to Dublin Core ... will be evaluated from the standpoint of semantic conformance, grammatical principle (eg, 'dumb-down'), clarity, and good practice." Doesn't this mean "terms related to Dublin Core" and not "use of terms related to Dublin Core"? SECTION 6.8. Persistent identifiers for reviewed Application Profiles. --The section states: "Review represents a form of recognition, and its URL will be persistent for purposes of citation." Which URL? The Application Profile URL or the Usage Board review URL? SECTION 7.2. Assignment of DCMI term URIs and status. --This section states: "New terms deemed in compliance with the DCMI Abstract Model may be given URIs in DCMI namespaces and assigned a status of conforming." Does this really mean "may be given," or is it "will be given." If it is "may be given," what's the criteria for "giving"? SECTION 8. Proposals for endorsement of terms in other namespaces for use within Application Profiles. This section says that terms from other name spaces in application profiles need to be reviewed for conformance to the Abstract Model. The section actually does not say anything about assigning a status to those terms; BUT, the section title speaks of "endorsement" which seems wrong to me. Endorsement (as defined in section 3) speaks of endorsing "assertions" by another that a term conforms (e.g., the LOC relators) and not that the term itself conforms. It seems to me that what we are talking about here in this section is "conforming" and not "endorsed." That's it... Stuart A.
