Mary,
This Glossary looks like it will be a really useful resource.
If you're adding related standards then please could you add:
OpenURL:
The OpenURL Framework for Context-Sensitive Services, a
proposed ANSI/NISO standard (Z39.88-2003), provides a means to
describe a referenced resource, bundled together with descriptions
of the associated resources that comprise the context of the
reference. It also defines methods for transporting these
descriptions between networked systems.
URL (at present): http://library.caltech.edu/openurl/
A couple of comments on existing entries:
Namespace.
I think it would be a good idea to bring the DC namespaces into
line with other DC recommendations. So they should be:
xmlns:dc = "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
xmlns:dcterms = "http://purl.org/dc/terms/
Dot.syntax.
I suggest the example should follow the latest HTML
recommendation, so should be DC.title or DCTERMS.alternative.
As I understand it DC.Title.Alternative is a deprecated use.
Best wishes,
Ann
