Dear WG Members, My apologies for the cross-post. A new version of the Registry was installed today (v 3.2.0). This release includes 2 important new features: - a better method of illustrating the relationship between terms, encoding schemes, and controlled vocabulary terms - support for usage examples. The item detail screen now includes a list of the encoding schemes related to that term. Likewise, the detail screen for encoding schemes include related controlled vocabulary terms. The following 2 examples illustrate this nicely: http://dublincore.org/dcregistry/detailServlet?reqType=detail&item=http%3A%2 F%2Fpurl.org%2Fdc%2Felements%2F1.1%2Ftype http://dublincore.org/dcregistry/detailServlet?reqType=detail&item=http%3A%2 F%2Fpurl.org%2Fdc%2Fterms%2FDCMIType Additionally, the Registry now supports usage examples for each term. The detail listing for dcmitype:Image (http://dublincore.org/dcregistry/detailServlet?reqType=detail&item=http%3A% 2F%2Fpurl.org%2Fdc%2Fdcmitype%2FImage) includes 2 usage examples; one for RDF/XML and another for XML. Click on either of these examples to view it. The display provided is intended to be a plain encoding format, suitable for cutting-and-pasting into your own documents. Note that browsers with limited XML support may have to 'view source' to see the complete example. I have created usage examples for a small portion of the existing terms and will add more as time allows. I would also like to solicit contributions from the WG for additional examples. If you have encoding examples that you feel others could benefit from, and would like to share them with the community, please contribute them. Examples can be applied to any term, including local extensions. They can also be written in any language, and terms can have an unlimited number of examples. As always, your question, comments and suggestions are most welcome. Best Regards, Harry Wagner http://oclc.org/research/staff/wagner.htm
