Re Tom's second question below, I thought people might be interested in this post by Ian Davis of Talis:

If DCAM has a future, then I think that would be the sort of form I see it taking i.e. providing a "lens" on the RDF model that reflects/captures some of the DCMI community's "traditional" conceptualisations.
(From my personal perspective, that is what I always thought we were trying to do with DCAM.)

Subject: DCAM telecon in the week of 19 December?
Dear all,
On today's Provenance telecon, we decided we'd try to to pick up on the
discussion of DCAM [1] and Singapore Framework [2] with a telecon before the
holidays.
I have posted a Doodle poll for a 11:00 call on one of the days between
Tuesday and Friday that week [3].
As a basic agenda, I'd like to suggest two key questions for discussion:
-- What requirement(s) does DCAM address? What is its purpose?
Can we formulate the purpose in a short statement?
-- Should DCAM be based explicitly on RDF, or should it be formulated
as something more abstract that can be instantiated in RDF? The answer
to this should of course flow from the first question.
To warm up, we could already start discussion now...
Tom
