Dear all,
One of the results of Monday's call was agreement that we need a
"gap analysis" and that my comparative tables of terminology and
constructs used in DCAM, DC-TEXT, RDF 1.1, and (proposed) for
DCAM 2.0 would be a good place to start.
I have moved these tables out of the Scratch Pad [1] and into a
new wiki page, "DCMI Revision Gap Analysis".
