-- 2007-01-15 (Tom). Drop "name" from /dcmi-terms/ and related documentation?

-- 2007-01-15 (Tom). http://purl.org/dc/dcam/memberOf should have a range of 
   http://purl.org/dc/dcam/ VocabularyEncodingScheme

======================================================================
DOMAINS AND RANGES

ACTION 2007-08-26: Pete and Mikael to investigate the
usefulness of defining a class of 'non-literal' and assess what
the consequences of this would be for machine processability.
(Usage Board should track issues involved in the notion of
a range of 'non-literal'.)

Range of dcterms:title
   See http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0712&L=dc-architecture&P=3679

======================================================================
PROFILE REVIEW

ACTION 2007-08-25: Tom to add to the criteria in the wiki
http://dublincore.org/usageboardwiki/ProfileReviewCriteriaNew
a section called "Organizational Context": evaluation questions
to be asked about who has stewardship of a proposed AP.

ACTION 2007-12-12: Joe to edit Profile Review Criteria -
http://dublincore.org/usageboardwiki/ProfileReviewCriteriaNew -
for discussion in late January.

ACTION 2007-12-12: Andrew to edit Term Decision Tree -
http://dublincore.org/usageboardwiki/TermDecisionTree
(was http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/TermDecisionTree)
- especially focusing on differentiating
Vocabulary and Syntax Encoding Schemes
(http://dublincore.org/usageboardwiki/SesAndVes).

ACTION 2007-12-12: Diane to outline an approach to presenting
documentation on application profiles for non-technical users.
(Tom has created the page http://dublincore.org/usageboardwiki/IntroToProfiles
starting with links to legacy documents of interest.)

======================================================================
SINGAPORE FRAMEWORK
-- http://dublincore.org/documents/2008/01/14/singapore-framework/

-- http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DescriptionSetProfile will 
   go out for Public Comment in February

======================================================================
OTHER ISSUES

ACTION 2007-11-23: Joe and Andrew to edit a discussion
of issues with the element Coverage
http://dublincore.org/usageboardwiki/IssuesWithCoverage
for discussion on a future telecon.  (Note: 'spatial' and
'temporal' are "correct" but 'coverage' is too broad --
it allows for topic and this is in conflict with 'subject'
[TK] -- this is an Application Profile issue [TB].)
-- 2007-12-12: On the back burner for now

ACTION 2007-08-26: Tom and Mikael to create a draft "Simple
Dublin Core" AP using the 1.1 namespace and which models
everything as literals. Document the legacy functional
requirements and the organizational context for this AP.

ACTION 2007-08-26: Andrew, Tom, and Dan B, in context of Agents
TG, to finish the assessment of FOAF against the functional
requirements. Include context describing kinds of places
where FOAF would be useful and where it wouldn't be useful.
Following this assessment, the TG to propose/recommend a
course of action to DCMI Directorate.
-- 2007-12-12: Andrew to progress in January.

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.)

======================================================================

Please look at http://dublincore.org/usageboardwiki/#Issues.  In the 
call, we will walk through these and set priorities.
