Thank you, Eric. May I bother you a little more :
1/ Is there an online resource that keeps a record of the pros and cons for
this rejection ?
2/ You write "my suggestion", and not "the decision was made to..." Does this
mean that the situation is not yet stable ?
3/ Has a qualifier been defined, such as DC.Description.Audience, or
DC.Description.Target ?

Objet : RE: Use of DC.Coverage
Frederick,
The use of dc:Coverage for audience was suggested and rejected in a
previous round of definition crafting. My suggestion is dc:Description, the
rationale being that target audience is perhaps most closely a part of a
description of the resource.
Several projects including GEM http://www.thegateway.org/ have
defined audience as an extension to the Dublin Core set.

Subject: Use of DC.Coverage
Hello everybody,
In a corporate environment, a technical document may target specific
populations : sales reps or engineers or accountants, etc.
I'm trying to find out which DC.element, if any, would hold this target
information. It seems to me that DC.Coverage is appropriate, since the
Reference Description reads :
"Coverage will typically include spatial location (a place name or
geographic
coordinates), temporal period (a period label, date, or date range) or
jurisdiction (such as a named administrative entity)."
The second question is then : is there a qualifier for this ?
Thanks for any insight.
