Hi everyone!
As some of you might have noticed, there's a news item on the DCMI web
site:

New moderators for DCMI Architecture Forum: Tom Baker and Mikael
Nilsson
2007-04-02. After four years of service, Andy Powell of Eduserv
Foundation (UK) is stepping down as moderator of the DCMI
Architecture Forum. Mikael Nilsson of KTH, Royal Institute of
Technology (Sweden), co-author of the DCMI Abstract Model and
the specification for expressing Dublin Core metadata in RDF,
will co-moderate the forum together with Thomas Baker of DCMI.
Mikael in now also a member of the DCMI Advisory Board.
So I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Andy for his long
commitment to the Architecture work, and not the least for his
pioneering work on the Abstract Model. I am of course hoping he will not
disappear completely...
[Applause]
Some background on me, then. I'm a PhD student in "Metadata
interoperability" at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm,
Sweden. I'm interested in interoperability in a wide sense, but focusing
on Dublin Core, IEEE LOM and the Semantic Web.
I don't really foresee any change in direction of the Forum. The main
focus is currently on:
* Finalizing the last set of changes to the DCMI Abstract Model
* Finalizing the RDF Expression
* Finalizing the XML expression
* Contemplating the (X)HTML meta tag expression in light of things like
RDF/A
* Finalizing DC-TEXT
* Producing an "Application Profile Model"
Plus a few other things....
I'd like to consider the possibility of open
teleconference/videoconference calls, where current issues and
developments can be discussed. I'd very much like feedback on that
point.
Anyway, glad to be here, let me know if you have any questions.
/Mikael
