> 1.    Using e-mail I sent a questionnaire to a cross section of SMR
> officers or Heritage record holders asking what terminology they used and
> if they felt it needed to be broadened.
> 2.    I have looked at a wide variety of key lists and terminologies among
> which includes NMRC, County SMR's, Dublin Core standards and Library of
> Congress Classification
>
> All of this will be written up into a report (on 22/11/2001 to 23/11/2001)
> which informs the development of the draft terminology lists.
>
> The next step of the project (being done 26/11/2001 to 28/11/2001) is to
> develop the draft terminology for peer review.
>
> Once these lists are in draft they will be sent to peer reviewers (see
> below) on 30th November 2001.
>
> PEER REVIEW
> Peer review will allow interested people to comment on the draft lists and
> suggest amendments as necessary. As a note the Peer Review will not be
> onerous (please see below for details). Below is a list of current
> reviewers.
