1. Architecture - for discussion in Mexico
1.1. DCAM update: clarification of Value Type, VES, SES,
introduction of domains and ranges, explicit Vocabulary Model.
-- DCAM - Existing DCMI Recommendation, 2005-02-??

http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/AMIssues
1.2. DC-RDF updated to reflect changes in DCAM
-- Legacy specs - not yet superseded:
-- Expressing Qualified Dublin Core in RDF/XML - title/date/status
http://dublincore.org/documents/dcq-rdf-xml/
-- Expressing Simple Dublin Core in RDF/XML - title/date/status
http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmes-xml/
-- The new spec - passed first round of public comment July 2006

1.3. DC-XML updated to reflect changes in DCAM
-- Legacy DC-in-XML Guidelines, 2003 (a DCMI Recommendation)
http://dublincore.org/documents/dc-xml-guidelines/
-- DC-XML Working Draft of 2006-05-29 (a DCMI Working Draft)

-- 2006-07-18 Results of public comment
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0607&L=dc-architecture&P=620
http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DCXMLRevision/Comments
The Working Draft of 2006-05-29 is intended to be replaced by two new documents:
-- Expressing Dublin Core metadata using XML (DC-XML-Min)
http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DCXMLRevision/DCXMLMGuidelines/2006-09-18
-- DC-XML-Min Instances
http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DCXMLRevision/DCXMLMInstances/2006-09-18
-- Expressing Dublin Core metadata using XML (DC-XML-Full)
http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DCXMLRevision/DCXMLFGuidelines/2006-09-18
-- DC-XML-Full Instances
http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DCXMLRevision/DCXMLFInstances/2006-09-18
DC-XML-Min and DC-XML-Full are intended to replace the
legacy DC-in-XML Guidelines as DCMI Recommendations.
1.4. DC-TEXT updated to reflect changes in DCAM
-- http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DCText/
2. Usage Board meeting in Mexico
2.1. DCMES Editorial changes - finalization
-- Public comment Aug 28 to Sep 25
http://dublincore.org/usageboard/2006/2006-06.dcmes/dcmes-changes/
2.2. Assignment of Domains and Ranges - meeting packet to include:
-- Draft issues page:
http://dublincore.org/usage/meetings/2006/09/manzanillo/domains-ranges/html/index.html
This page includes links to past discussions on
DC-USAGE, to Swoogle statistics, and to relevant
notes and postings from the DC-RDF comment period.
-- http://dublincore.org/usageboardwiki/PropertyDomainsAndRanges
ACTION Usage Board (Mexico meeting): check draft
Domain/Range Vocabulary term-by-term (all
/terms/ properties); determine which definitions
or range assignments will need more attention.
-- New version of DCAM - relevant for SES/VES discussion:
http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/AMDraftUpdate
-- 2006-06-28 DC-Arch proposal: new ranges only for the "terms" namespace?
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0606&L=dc-architecture&P=5526
-- Encoding Schemes as SES or VES - basis for discussion is
http://dublincore.org/usage/meetings/2005/09/madrid/files/2005-05-12.encoding-scheme-types.txt
ACTION Usage Board (Mexico meeting): For each Encoding
Scheme, decide whether it is a Vocabulary Encoding
Scheme or a Syntax Encoding Scheme (starting points are
proposal above and new draft DCAM).
-- ACTION Usage Board (Mexico meeting): Agree on
further process for finalizing Domains and Ranges
in all of its aspects (declaration of classes,
assignment as domains and ranges, implications
for term documentation).
2.3. Review Collection Description Application Profile
-- Discuss review in Mexico, finalize October-November
3. Usage Board - October through December
3.1. Prepare proposal on domains/ranges for Public Comment in early 2007
3.2. Finalize review of Collection Description Profile
4. Architecture/DCMI - October through December
4.1. In parallel to 3.1, prepare (for purposes of testing and review):
-- RDF schemas of revised descriptions of terms with domains and ranges
-- RDF schemas of new classes
4.2. Prepare revised DCAM, DC-TEXT, DC-XML, DC-RDF, and DCMI Namespace Policy
for the DCMI Recommendation process
-- DC-XML draft should be accompanied by a note addressing
compatibility with previous XML guidelines. See:
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0609&LUe-ARCHITECTURE&P=150
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0609&LUe-ARCHITECTURE&P=255
-- DC-XML may need to distinguish between dc-xml-full and dc-xml-minimal:
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0606&L=dc-architecture&P=1019
4.3. Raise awareness in broader community, prepare for formal review in early 2007
5. DCMI - January through April 2007
5.1. Public Comment for DCAM, DC-TEXT, DC-XML, DC-RDF as
(Revised) DCMI Recommendations
5.2. Directorate to recruit additional reviewers, targeting
interested communities, e.g.:
-- Semantic Web community for DC-RDF
-- OAI-PMH implementer community for DC-XML
5.3. Documentation about Vocabularies and Profiles
Two new extensions of DCAM:
-- Formal Vocabulary Model
-- Formal Profile Model (extension of DCAM)
Starting points:
-- http://dublincore.org/usage/meetings/2006/09/manzanillo/profile-pipeline/ub-profile/
-- http://dublincore.org/usageboard/log/html/2006-04-30.meeting-notes-dcap.html
Contracted work packages for user documentation closely related to the above:
-- Guidelines on How to declare a set of metadata terms
-- Guidelines on How to make a DCAP
-- following example of CDAP, possibly later also
ePrints, etc
-- Call for Tender to require "close coordination with
the editors of DCAM"
-- Include Simple Dublin Core as stand-alone example
-- Starting points:
http://dublincore.org/usage/meetings/2006/04/profile-review/
http://dublincore.org/usage/documents/2005/09/03/profile-guidelines/
