I had responded to Stuart privately, thanking him for the additional information and clarification that he provided. One question remains. Stuart says: > ... in > May of last year, the Usage Board approved a proposal for a > 16th (domain > specific) element named "audience" and issued a DCMI > recommendation. At the > same time, it issued a DCMI recommendation for a (domain > specific) qualifier > for the "audience" element named "mediator" as well as a > (domain specific) > "conformsTo" qualifier for the "relation" element. I am providing, below, the list of DCMI Recommendations taken from the DCMI Web site (http://purl.org/dc), and I am wondering to which of the following DCMI Recommendations Stuart refers, above. 2001-10-26: Powell, Andy.
