    documented in
    http://dublincore.org/usage/minutes/html/2006-10-01.meeting-notes-manzanillo.html)
    in revising the Domain and Range vocabulary.

    ACTION 2006-10-01: Suggestion to DCAM authors: Syntax Encoding Schemes:
    Amend definition to include 'or enumerated list of strings' after 'string'.

    ACTION 2006-10-01: Suggestion to DCAM authors: Vocabulary
    Encoding Schemes: Amend definition to read: "A vocabulary
    encoding scheme is an enumerable set of resources".
    Need to acknowledge that the string(s) specified by a

    ACTION 2006-10-01: Joe and Pete to summarise concisely the
    relationship between SES, VES and things as illuminated

    syntax encoding schemes map to RDF datatypes.

    categorisation of existing schemes (see
    http://dublincore.org/usage/minutes/html/2006-10-01.meeting-notes-manzanillo.html).

    ACTION 2006-10-01: Andy will revise Andrew's paragraph in
    the review report about the model used for the CD AP; a
    better explanation is needed. This is to include a statement
    about how the model in the application profile diverges or
    amends the AMCC model used as the basis for this application
    profile.
 
    ACTION 2006-10-01: Andrew to track the new actions arising

    ACTION 2006-10-01: Andrew to formally write up the
    outcomes of the review process to include a good
    stand-alone description of the application profile and
    a characterisation of the types of conformance testing,
    with a description of the testing process. Andrew is to
    prepare feedback to the Working Group independently of
    the formal statement.
 
    ACTION 2006-10-01: Stuart to review the section of the
    process document which concerns the requirements for
    conforming status for application profiles, as part of a
    general review of the language of the process document.
 
    ACTION 2006-10-01: Tom and Andrew to work on refining the
    set of questions for reviewing application profiles and the
    way in which they are asked. Three essential criteria are:
       1. conformance to the abstract model 
       2. internal consistency
       3. relationship of terms in the application profile to
          existing DC terms.

   with changed DCMES definitions, and prepare a document to
   summarise nature of changes made. To be done via the UB
   Wiki? Andy has a suggestion about how to prepare a before
   and after document using HTML Diff.

   ACTION 2006-10-01: Tom to replace the Principles document
   at http://dublincore.org/usage/documents/principles/ with a
   page that copies the definitions of elements etc from DCAM
   and includes a short text stating: that the document which
   used to live here has been superseded by the DCAM. Update
   UB page to say we do things in light of the DCAM.  
   
   ACTION 2006-10-01: Tom to look through DCMI site and note those pages
   where a reference to the principles document needs to be
   changed to a reference to the DCAM as appropriate.

   ACTION 2006-10-01: Andy and Pete to add HTML anchors to
   the DCAM document for the next release of the DCAM.

   ACTION 2006-10-01: Andy, Pete and Tom to create a new
   DC namespace for term classes, agree on namespace URI,
   declare PURLs for the term classes, update namespace policy
   and agree on maintenance policy for the new namespace.

   ACTION 2006-10-01: Andy and Pete to create RDFS declaration
   of term type classes.

   ACTION 2006-10-01: Eventually, once term type classes
   have been approved, Tom to insert PURLs in the DCTerms
