All,
I haven't received any response to this email. This action complies with
the recommendations made in the Namespace policy doc
(http://dublincore.org/documents/2001/06/29/dcmi-namespace/) and allows us
to move forward with the Registry prototype. Unless there are objections
raised by 8/21 the DC schemas will be published, and the PURLs created, as
outlined below. Please let me know as soon as possible if you have
questions or concerns.
Best Regards,
Harry Wagner

> 2. Publish the dcq schema at: http://dublincore.org/2001/08/14/dcq
> 3. Publish the dctype schema at: http://dublincore.org/2001/08/14/dctype
> 4. Change the PURL http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ to point to the
> proposed dces schema (1)
> 5. Create http://purl.org/dc/terms/ and point it at the proposed
> qualifiers schema (2)
> 6. Create http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/ and point it at the proposed
> controlled vocabularies schema (3)
