Cory/Karen,
Are there any good summaries of the conversations in Seattle (relevant to this discussion) for those of us who didn't make it to #c4lib?
Thanks,
Richard

We've all been in on the lengthy conversations about terminology (and some of us went through that again at length at a meeting in Seattle last week). You can't expect much when you invite Russian speakers to a discussion taking place only in Latin. The DCAM terminology is a barrier. You can claim that
