Dear All
You may know that the Agents WG is actively seeking to develop a way of
describing agents within the context of DCMES resource descriptions. The
need/requirement to describe agents arises in many contexts of course, and
we expect that the work of the Agents WG will be relevant to work underway
in a number of other DCMI Working Groups, for example Education, Libraries,
Collection Description, Government. It may be that the work of the Agents
WG to date is sufficient to meet the agent description needs of other DCMI
Activities. However, in order to develop a widely useful approach to agent
description it will be valuable for the needs of other WGs to be explicitly
identified.
As co-chairs of the Agents WG, we are seeking your views on the agent
description needs of any of the DCMI communities and working groups. If you
have any thoughts or views on this issue please mail them to this list, or
the Agents WG list. As a starting point you might care to read the current
draft of a document setting out one view of the functional requirements for
describing agents. The document is available at:
http://dublincore.org/groups/agents/agentFRdraft2-2.html.
Thank you!!
