Rebecca,
Here are a few comments...
- Your TYPEs for Creator show
CreatorName
CreatorName.Personal
etc.
I think that should read
(Name is default)
creator.personal
etc.
i.e. in DC embedded in HTML you end up with
<META NAME="DC.creator.personal" ... >
- In various SCHEMEs (Description, Identifier, Source, Relation, Rights)
you list either or both URL and URN. Better to replace these with
URI perhaps?
- In the TYPEs for Contributor you again list things like
ContributorName
ContributorName.Personal
etc.
These should be
(Name is default)
contributor.personal
etc.
- With Type we could perhaps take the position that the default is 'Free
text' (as with Format and various other elements) and that a SCHEME is
explicitly given to indicate that the value is take from the enumerated
list (that is still under discussion).
- In various places you give SCHEMEs like UR?, ISBN, ISSN, SICI, etc.
(Identifier, Source, etc.). Suggest adding DOI and PII to these.
Andy.
