Simon,
Your propsed event definition looks fine to me; thanks for advancing the
discussion towards closure. We will be having more detailed discussion of
this at our CIMI DC Metadata testbed meetings Sept 21-23/98 and hope to
come out of that with a good description of our needs and some solid
examples to share with the list.
Thanks to you and all those who took part in the discussions on meta2 for
your helpful suggestions and interesting comments.
Best regards,
John Perkins
CIMI Executive Director
