Lee,
I'm sorry you feel that we're off track.
A few points:
The workshop committee is working on the details, but the general outline
is to
1 - Element Refinements
- Coverage
- Relation
- Rights Management
- others?
2 - Extensibility
- what does it mean
- how do you achieve it
3 - Element Substructure
- what are all the schemes/types
- who/how are the defined/registered
None of these issues should surprise anyone on the list.
As for deliverables, the primary deliverable I hope to see achieved is
to flesh out a formal RFC describing the Dublin Core, its elements,
and the ways we expect it to be used.
A large chunk of this exists as a result of the work on the list these
past three months, and is represented in a paper I'm working on
summarizing the Dublin core. A major goal of the Canberra meeting
will be to fill in enough of the missing parts to be able to make such
an RFC useful.
hope this answers some of your concerns
