The document below has been added to the Wiki.  The intention is to allow 
people (e.g. developers of DC application profiles and members of the DCMI 
Usage Board who will have to evaluate those application profiles) to 
determine whether an existing 'term' is appropriate for use in DC metadata 
descriptions - i.e. whether it conforms to the DCMI Abstract Model - or 
not.

Comments welcome...

Subject: DCMI-compliant 'term' decision tree

I've revised the term decision tree and put a copy in the DC RDF Taskforce Wiki 
at

http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/twiki/bin/view/Metadata/TermDecisionTree

I've added some text to indicate that human and machine-readable declarations 
should be made available at the term URI and noted that this does not apply to 
example.org URIs, as per our discussions at the UB meeting.
