I think the Scope and purpose themselves are independent of any
revisions to LOM, even though the content of the specs will likely need
adaption to new versions. Of course, if a new version of LOM comes out
that is based directly on the DCAM, then the Scope and Purpose as
currently formulated become completely obsolete. But I don't see how we
can accomodate that possibility... :-)

Well, yes. Not as part of this specific piece of work, which has a very
specific purpose, though.

I'm all for using this community as a forum for such discussions,
though. Anything in particular you want to do? :-)

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
