Appendix: text of various outstanding actions...
ACTION 2007-07-06: Diane to shepherd "Changes to terms of the
DCTERMS namespace", summarizing any comments made during Public Comment.
ACTION 2007-07-06: Akira to shepherd "Domains and ranges",
summarizing any comments made during Public Comment.
ACTION 2007-06-08: Joe to revise
http://dublincore.org/usageboardwiki/ProfileReviewCriteria
in light of:
http://dublincore.org/usageboardwiki/CollectionsProfileReviewNotes
ACTION 2007-03-17: Stuart and Joe revise Term Decision Tree:
http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/TermDecisionTree.
(Note: the difference is basically String vs. Thing.)
ACTION 2007-03-17: Joe to draft a document discussing
issues related to principles and purpose of UB decision-making.
(The context was the decision to define ISO639-2 as a set of codes.)
Joe will work with Stuart on this (2007-06-08).
ACTION 2007-03-17: Stuart and Joe to write
a one-page explanation differentiating
VES and SES, vet with Pete Johnston. See:
http://dublincore.org/usage/meetings/2007/03/barcelona/Encoding-schemes.txt.
Agreed: We need a deeper level of description and
differentiation between VES and SES, including definitions.
If you have a something already, how do you tell if it is
VES or SES. If an Encoding Scheme tells you what a value
string it it's a SES. If Encoding Scheme defines a class
of values, then it is a VES (e.g., concepts). For example,
if you develop a list of educational levels, and if you
define a list of strings, then you're defining an SES.
If you define a set of concepts and assign URIs to them (as
best practice), then you're defining a VES. Best practice
in this scenario is to define a set of concepts with URIs
rather than a set of strings. Agreed that DC-Education
is a great test-bed for these concepts. SES is a datatype
in RDF. VES is like conceptScheme in SKOS, only not limited
to concepts. For discussion: VES is a set of concepts that,
once in metadata, allows editors to handle assertion by
adding things to it. SES is a set of strings.
