HOT ISSUES -- Finalizing the revised DCSV specifications (Tom, Andrew) 2006-03-13. Public comment period was held Feb 13 to Mar 15 [1]. Mikael Nilsson was asked to review the revised specs. Mikael's comments, along with a relevant posting from Pete on dc-accessibility, are summarized in [2]. These comments refer to the version of the DCMI DCSV spec posted for public comment on Feb 13, which Tom has now taken into account in a further edited version. In the Mar 16 telecon, everyone should please re-read the comments [2] and carefully check the corresponding sections in [4] -- specifically, the three last paragraphs of the Introduction (starting with "As of 2006") and the entire Section 3 ("DCSV syntax encoding schemes").

Tom suggests that Andrew edit this document in place using Subversion to avoid another conversion to/from the Wiki. -- Andrew is comparing the draft against what was decided in Madrid: http://stage.dublincore.org/usageboard/2006/2006-01.definitions/2005-09-10.meeting-notes-excerpts.html -- Aside from polishing the text explaining the changes in the above, an announcement giving overall context for the comment period on dc-general needs to be finalized, see first draft at http://stage.dublincore.org/usageboard/2006/2006-01.definitions/2005-09-21.diane-context-for-changes.txt (maybe move this draft into the Wiki). 2006-03-13. Note that the dc:language issue - see http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0602&L=dc-usage&P=601. is within the scope of this document. Is RFC 3066 dated in its approach to 2- and 3-letter language codes? -- Changes to terms in the DCTERMS namespace (Diane) http://dublincore.org/usageboardwiki/TermChanges 2006-03-13. As decided on 2006-02-23, Tom split off any changes to terms in the DCTERMS namespace into a separate document and placed it in the Wiki. Obviously, this document needs to be re-formatted; Tom asks for suggestions on how to do this efficiently. ACTION 2006-02-23: Diane to consider changes to Date refinements and other terms in the DCTERMS namespace. 2006-03-13. Note: -- Added changed "See:" reference for dcterms:URI -- Added changed label for dcterms:alternative -- Someone should check for spelling consistency: organisation/organization (prefer the latter). -- dcterms:educationLevel needs a better definition, see http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0503&L=DC-USAGE&P=5380 -- DCMI property domains and ranges (Andy) http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DCPropertyDomainsRanges 2006-03-13. Andy has been working on this and proposes that we put it on the agenda for Seattle. -- Vocabulary of Domain and Range Classes (Andy) http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DCPropertyDomainsRanges 2006-03-13. Andy's DCPropertyDomainsRanges draft (see above) uses 30-40 "possible classes" as proposed domains and ranges for all DCMI properties. For the domains and ranges to be declared machine-readably, these classes would presumably need to be defined, approved, given URIs, and maintained. Giving them URIs would involve either expanding the DCMI Type Vocabulary or creating a new Vocabulary. Creating a new Vocabulary would involve revising the DCMI Namespace Policy. Giving them definitions would presumably also involve deciding on a style for definitions that is consistent between the DCMI Type Vocabulary and this new Domain-Range Vocabulary: -- Current DCMI Type Style: "A service is a system that provides..." -- DCMI Type Style, Renaud style: "A resource which is a system..." [2] -- Domain-Range Vocabulary style: "The class of all services..." [1] -- Replicating ELEMENTS1.1 terms in the DCTERMS namespace (Tom) SIMMERING ISSUES -- Finalizing DCMI Type Vocabulary after the comment period (Stuart) 2006-03-13. A public comment period was held from 8 Dec to 31 Jan on http://dublincore.org/usage/public-comment/2005/12/type-vocabulary-changes/. The responses have been summarized in http://stage.dublincore.org/usage/public-comment/2006/03/type-vocabulary-comments/. -- Review of application profiles - documentation (Tom) http://dublincore.org/usage/meetings/2005/09/profile-review/ ACTION 2006-01-26: Tom to propose draft "suite" for discussion - which parts are "appendices", which are stand-alone, etc. -- Review of application profiles - profiles -- Simple Dublin Core ACTION 2006-01-26: Tom to prepare for discussion in Seattle -- Collection Description - will not be ready for Seattle - planned for Mexico, see: http://dublincore.org/groups/collections/ http://homes.ukoln.ac.uk/~lispj/dc-cd/rep200602.html -- Agents: will be ready by Mexico http://dublincore.org/groups/agents/ -- Libraries http://dublincore.org/groups/libraries/ -- DCMI Documentation Roadmap (Tom) ACTION 2006-01-26: Tom to make available for discussion at mid-year meeting ACTION 2006-02-09: DCMI Recommendations are taken to be "recommended by DCMI". Is this the right message, and does it hamper progress? Time for a re-think? Tom to consider in context of Roadmap - everyone to provide suggestions. -- DCMI position paper for RDA review http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0602&L=dc-usage&P=2056 http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0602&L=dc-general&P=769 -- Wikipedia article on Dublin Core (Diane) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Core ACTION 2006-02-23: Diane to work on Wikipedia article; put on agenda for Seattle. -- Revised process document (Stuart and Diane) http://dublincore.org/usage/documents/process/ 2006-03-13. Stuart and Diane to lead discussion in Seattle (30 minutes?).
