For reasons following from the messages headed Subject: TERMINOLOGY: RESOURCE BETTER THAN OBJECT Subject: TERMINOLOGY: DROP TYPE AND IDENTIFIER QUALIFIERS I propose to change the name of the ObjectType element to simply Type. We don't modify other element names with the Object prefix, so do we need this incongruity (eg, unless we also propose ObjectAuthor and ObjectTitle)? Originally we used this prefix because we were shy that "Type" was too generic, but that doesn't explain why we weren't also shy of "Type" as a qualifier name (which I just proposed we now drop). Pro: "Object" is overloaded, hyped Pro: the "Object" prefix is jargon Pro: Object prefix for only this element (eg, no ObjectForm) is inconsistent -John
