Welcome to the DCMI Architecture WG! We are pleased to see that
stimulating discussion have already taken place on this mailing list.
We would like to draw your attention to our charter
http://purl.org/dc/groups/architecture.htm
An executive summary of that document is given here:
The DCMI Architecture WG continues and draws together the work
of the Datamodel, Schema working groups and the Implementor
special interest group. With the ratification of an initial
set of exemplary Dublin Core qualifiers by the DCMI Usage
Committee, there is a need to provide clear, principled and
consistent guidelines for deploying Dublin Core metadata
applications.
The objectives of the working group are to discuss and develop
a model, strategy and roadmap for the practical deployment of
Dublin Core metadata using mainstream Web technologies
(XML/RDF/HTML)
Please read. We have a lot of work to do. In particular we want people to
sign up for contributing to the documents we need to produce during the
coming year.
For helping us to keep on track, we have started to keep an issues
list. It has a preliminary home on
http://admin.dublincore.org/groups/architecture/issues.html
We need to populate that list with urgent problems that need
solution. This we hope will be mostly completed two weeks from now,
that is 15 November. During that period we also want you to think
about what *you* can do to help DCMI consolidating the DCMI metadata
architecture.
