Dear all,
I have divided this agenda into "hot issues", "simmering
issues", and a "back burner". I'd like to discuss all of the
hot issues on Thursday, unless Andy confirms that he cannot
attend (in which case we can postpone his issues).

HOT ISSUES
-- Finalizing the revised DCSV specifications (Tom, Andrew)
2006-03-13. Public comment period was held Feb 13 to Mar 15
[1]. Mikael Nilsson was asked to review the revised specs.
Mikael's comments, along with a relevant posting from Pete
on dc-accessibility, are summarized in [2]. These comments
refer to the version of the DCMI DCSV spec posted for
public comment on Feb 13, which Tom has now taken into
account in a further edited version. In the Mar 16 telecon,
everyone should please re-read the comments [2] and carefully
check the corresponding sections in [4] -- specifically, the
three last paragraphs of the Introduction (starting with "As
of 2006") and the entire Section 3 ("DCSV syntax encoding
schemes").

-- Changes to terms in the ELEMENTS1.1 namespace (Tom, Andy, Andrew)
http://stage.dublincore.org/usageboard/2006/2006-01.definitions/term-changes/
ACTION Andrew 2006-02-23
-- This document is currently being edited by Andrew. Tom
suggests that Andrew edit this document in place using
Subversion to avoid another conversion to/from the Wiki.
-- Andrew is comparing the draft against what was decided in Madrid:
http://stage.dublincore.org/usageboard/2006/2006-01.definitions/2005-09-10.meeting-notes-excerpts.html
-- Aside from polishing the text explaining the changes in
the above, an announcement giving overall context for the
comment period on dc-general needs to be finalized, see first
draft at
http://stage.dublincore.org/usageboard/2006/2006-01.definitions/2005-09-21.diane-context-for-changes.txt
(maybe move this draft into the Wiki).
2006-03-13. Note that the dc:language issue - see
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0602&L=dc-usage&P=601.
is within the scope of this document.
Is RFC 3066 dated in its approach to 2- and 3-letter language codes?
-- Changes to terms in the DCTERMS namespace (Diane)
http://dublincore.org/usageboardwiki/TermChanges
2006-03-13. As decided on 2006-02-23, Tom split off any
changes to terms in the DCTERMS namespace into a separate
document and placed it in the Wiki. Obviously, this
document needs to be re-formatted; Tom asks for suggestions
on how to do this efficiently.
ACTION 2006-02-23: Diane to consider changes to Date
refinements and other terms in the DCTERMS namespace.
2006-03-13. Note:
-- Added changed "See:" reference for dcterms:URI
-- Added changed label for dcterms:alternative
-- Someone should check for spelling consistency:
organisation/organization (prefer the latter).
-- DCMI property domains and ranges (Andy)
http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DCPropertyDomainsRanges
2006-03-13. Andy has been working on this and proposes
that we put it on the agenda for Seattle.
-- Vocabulary of Domain and Range Classes (Andy)
http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DCPropertyDomainsRanges
2006-03-13. Andy's DCPropertyDomainsRanges draft (see above)
uses 30-40 "possible classes" as proposed domains and ranges
for all DCMI properties. For the domains and ranges to be
declared machine-readably, these classes would presumably
need to be defined, approved, given URIs, and maintained.
Giving them URIs would involve either expanding the DCMI
Type Vocabulary or creating a new Vocabulary. Creating a
new Vocabulary would involve revising the DCMI Namespace
Policy. Giving them definitions would presumably also
involve deciding on a style for definitions that is
consistent between the DCMI Type Vocabulary and this new
Domain-Range Vocabulary:
-- Current DCMI Type Style: "A service is a system that provides..."
-- DCMI Type Style, Renaud style: "A resource which is a system..." [2]
-- Domain-Range Vocabulary style: "The class of all services..." [1]
SIMMERING ISSUES
-- Finalizing DCMI Type Vocabulary after the comment period (Stuart)
2006-03-13. A public comment
period was held from 8 Dec to 31 Jan on
http://dublincore.org/usage/public-comment/2005/12/type-vocabulary-changes/.
The responses have been summarized in
http://stage.dublincore.org/usage/public-comment/2006/03/type-vocabulary-comments/.
-- Review of application profiles - documentation (Tom)
http://dublincore.org/usage/meetings/2005/09/profile-review/
ACTION 2006-01-26: Tom to propose draft "suite" for discussion - which
parts are "appendices", which are stand-alone, etc.
-- Review of application profiles - profiles
-- Simple Dublin Core
ACTION 2006-01-26: Tom to prepare for discussion in Seattle
-- Collection Description - will not be ready for Seattle - planned for Mexico, see:
http://dublincore.org/groups/collections/
http://homes.ukoln.ac.uk/~lispj/dc-cd/rep200602.html
-- Agents: will be ready by Mexico
http://dublincore.org/groups/agents/
-- Libraries
http://dublincore.org/groups/libraries/
-- DCMI Documentation Roadmap (Tom)
ACTION 2006-01-26: Tom to make available for discussion at mid-year meeting
ACTION 2006-02-09: DCMI Recommendations are taken to be "recommended by DCMI".
Is this the right message, and does it hamper progress? Time for a re-think?
Tom to consider in context of Roadmap - everyone to provide suggestions.
-- DCMI position paper for RDA review
