[ I'm forwarding with permission a suggestion to change the draft's advice on controlled vocabularies. It seems to me that if we redirect the reader, it should be to specific document in the series.

Kunze" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: new draft of DC basic elements Hi again, 3.3. Subject and Keywords Label: "Subject" The use of controlled vocabularies and formal classification schemes is encouraged. This document describes unqualified DC. Should it encourage the use of qualifiers without saying that it is moving outside the scope imposed on it? I like CV's but this is not the place to discuss them. If you must, how about: The use of controlled vocabularies and formal classification schemes is encouraged and although out of scope for this document, will soon be described formally in this series. -marc
