Now that we have the RDA data elements in the registry, I have created two EXTEMELY simple demonstration application profiles: http://dublincore.org/dcmirdataskgroup/rda_2da (or 'rda-a') The pages aren't easy to use because I couldn't figure out how to get images to appear, but I included links to the XML versions and to PDFs of the grid display from XMLSpy. I encourage comments, corrections, and your own APs. When I get a chance I'll create schemas for these so I can easily create some sample records. I had to admit that I'm not sure how one would use the XML application profile and how far to carry the URIs as I create a schema and data records. It was only when I started doing this that I realized that wasn't clear to me. So any advice is very welcome. kc -- ----------------------------------- Karen Coyle / Digital Library Consultant [log in to unmask] http://www.kcoyle.net ph.: 510-540-7596 skype: kcoylenet fx.: 510-848-3913 mo.: 510-435-8234 ------------------------------------
