Introduction
The overall goal of the DCMI Registry Working Group (WG) is the development of a metadata registry providing authoritative information regarding the DCMI vocabulary and the relationship between terms in that vocabulary.
The Registry WG provides a forum for discussion of registry-related activity and interaction with other registry and information management initiatives that share issues of common interest and relevance. Additionally, the WG provides a forum for liaising with the DCMI Usage Board and the related vocabulary management development activity.
The specific goals of this WG are:
1. The development of an operational registry providing a Web-based user interface (phase 1) and various application programming interfaces (phase 2) that facilitate the discovery, navigation and understanding of the DCMI, and related, semantics.
2. Promote the acceptance and use of the DCMI vocabulary.
3. Provide an authoritative source of information regarding the DCMI vocabulary.
The scheduled implementation date for phase 1 is 9/30/2002. The project is on schedule and is expected to be completed prior to the WG breakout session.
