A much improved Kernel Metadata specification is out for public comment,
http://dot.ucop.edu/home/jak/erc2.html
For those of you able to attend next week's DCMI Conference in Singapore,
the Kernel Community will meet to this discuss this and other topics:
Thursday 30 August, 14:30 - 16:00
This meeting will review the latest draft of the Kernel Metadata
Application Profile, which is concerned with a very lightweight
representation of Dublin Core metadata that attempts to maximize
utility and minimize cost of metadata record creation, maintenance,
and exchange. Topics will include a brief review of the current DCMI
Abstract Model and its effect on application profiles. Feedback from
this meeting will be conveyed to the Kernel Metadata Task Group.
The DCMI Kernel Application Profile (KAP) task group's notes, updated
workplan, and other relevant links can be found on their wiki,

All comments are welcome!
