Harry, and All,
The registry is looking really good now (though some of us might
like to see en-UK (or is that en-GB) as an option!).
However, I was wondering about the process for including things
which have been newly endorsed by the Usage Board and how
quickly they would be expected to appear.
The list of terms in the DCMI Type Vocabulary (Controlled
Vocabulary Terms) doesn't include 'physical object' which was
agreed as 'recommended' by the Usage Board in May. I think that
other terms which were agreed at that meeting, such as
dateCopyrighted, are included. So maybe this is an oversight.
Thanks,
Ann
