Tom and all, Palle got back with my this AM affirmatively accepting my offer
to serve as the shepherd for the DC-Gov proposal. I would like to add to
the list of "other topics (for future meetings)" a DC-Ed proposal for an
Audience qualifier named Level with the following description "A general
statement describing the education or training sector. Alternatively, a more
specific statement of the location of the audience in terms of its
progression through an education or training sector. Where available, such
statements should be expressed in terms of a recognized national or local
scheme." I have been very remiss with regards to this matter since it
reached consensus within the DC-Ed working group in late January. I'll put
it into the proposal process ASAP. After the general comment period, I am
hoping we might be able to handle a Usage Board vote by conference call
pursuant to 4.8 of our procedures.

Subject: REVISED AGENDA FOR TOKYO
Dear all, (attn Rachel),
Unless world events intervene, I am expecting to hold a meeting of the full
Usage Board three weeks from today.
I would like to finalize the agenda for that meeting as soon as possible.
As the draft below shows, we still have a number of process- and
documentation-related issues to discuss. However, I would like for us to
consider at least one semantics proposal, if possible, especially
DC-Government (one potential shepherd for this is now exchanging email with
the dc-government chairs).
As Rachel will be attending the meeting, we will also have an opportunity to
discuss the relationship of the Registry Working Group to the Usage Board.
Comments please...
Cheers,
Tom

AGENDA - USAGE BOARD MEETING IN TOKYO (DC-2001)
Convenor: Tom Baker, Chair

Version: Mon Oct 1 13:51:23 MEST 2001
Meetings:
-- Monday morning, 22 October 2001
-- One other meeting to be planned
Expected attendees (as of Sep 25):
Andy Powell
Diane Hillmann
Haruki Nagata
Rebecca Guenther
Roland Schwaenzl
Stuart Sutton
Tom Baker
Traugott Koch
Harry Wagner (guest)
Stu Weibel (guest)
Rachel Heery (guest)
Confirmed topics:
Documentation of Usage Board results (Tom, Stu/Harry)
Background: http://www.gmd.de/People/Thomas.Baker/UB-Doc.html, which
will be updated in response to discussion on the list and turned
into
a manual for maintaining the UB Web pages. Rachel Heery of the DCMI
Registry Working Group will also participate in the discussions.
Update and wrapup of Namespace issue, implications for Usage Board
(Andy)
Background: http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-namespace/ and
http://homes.ukoln.ac.uk/~lisap/dcmi-ns/index.shtml.
Guidelines for encoding schemes and subject vocabularies (Traugott,
others?)
Traugott is revising the guidelines we discussed in May
and will present these. We need to clarify the
process, workflow, and guidelines for fast-track
approval. In particular, we have had discussion on the
list about:
RFC 3066 (Rebecca's proposal, see
http://www.gmd.de/People/Thomas.Baker/rfc3066_proposal.doc)
Ethnologue language terms (Diane)
Identifier encoding schemes: ISSN, DOI, SICI, OpenURL...
(Andy??)
I would like to discuss these at the meeting, if
Rebecca, Diane, and Andy could speak to the points
above.
Harry has prototyped an encoding scheme Web page at
http://wip.dublincore.org/Schemes.html. In this
context, it would be great if we could agree on a
standard Web form for submitting proposals.
Desirable topics:
DC-Government proposal, http://dublincore.org/groups/government
Someone is considering whether to take these on as shepherd
and will let me know (hopefully) today or tomorrow.
Relationship between Usage Board and Registry activity (Rachel)
Rachel has been editing a requirements document for the
DCMI registry (an earlier draft was at
http://www.dublincore.org/groups/registry/purpose-20010511.shtml).
Perhaps we could persuade her to present some ideas
from her perspective.
Other topics (for future meetings?)
Creator and Publisher as refinements of Contributor (Diane?)
MARC relator terms for creator/contributor/publisher (Rebecca?)
Application profiles (Andy, Tom)
Naming policy, eg dct:alternative (Andy)
DC-Citation? (Andy)
Are element refinements "elements" or "qualifiers"? (Tom, Andy)
Other agent-related issues?
Encoding schemes for dc:identifier
Potential role of UB in reviewing or endorsing
translations of DCMI Metadata Terms into languages
other than English
