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

Harry Wagner (guest)
Stu Weibel (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
