Harry,
At present, the putative RDF schema for dcu: is an aspect
of a strawman I am developing for discussion at the Usage
Board meeting in June. According to the strawman, the schema
would declare
for Status: dcu:status
for Qualifies: dcu:qualifies
for Decision: dcu:decision
for Version: dcu:version
The nitty-gritty of Usage-Board-specific terms need not concern
this list. However, it would be very helpful to hear arguments
for or against declaring Usage-Board-specific terms (such as
the above) as opposed to using existing terms from DC or RDF
(as Harry advocates) -- even in cases where existing terms
may be defined quite broadly or generically.
