I've added these suggestions to the DC Qualifiers and DC Resource Types
drafts at <URL:http://www.roads.lut.ac.uk/Metadata/DC-Qualifiers.html> and
<URL:http://www.roads.lut.ac.uk/Metadata/DC-ObjectTypes.html>. Note that
these documents are drafts and are attempts to record a potential base for
a standard set of qualifier values and resource types, but they aren't
actually "blessed" by anyone. It might be worth putting them out as
Internet Drafts for wider discussion in the network community - does
this sound like a reasonable idea?
Tatty bye,
Jim'll
