dear colleagues
am a relative new comer to Dublin Core and have been reading the meta2
list with interest although the depth of the discussion is occasionally too
much in the deep blue for me.
i would however like to comment on the discussion about dates that is
currently going on.
i have been using metadata for managing information in our company for
about 10 years (long before i knew it was called metadata!)
As well as using metadata for info retrieval and other traditional uses,
(being a librarian by trade) I use it for "performance management" of
information and its content.
One of the areas in great use at present is that of dates, namely
when an idea is first conceived
when it is due for completion and publication
date of publication
date due for review
date of archivingwithdrawing/destruction
i hope that the standards being developed can take this functionality also
into account
