DC-Government
Describing Services
•Issues:
–Why do we want metadata to do for services:
deliver/inform?
–Is it in scope for DC-Gov?
–Definition and boundaries of a service
–Multi-agency service—distributed service (one service,
multiple agencies)
–One-to-many service delivery
–Multiple service access points
–Entry points
–How does “subject” work for service
–Relationship between services & Government
functions
–Can/should metadata influence UI?
–Do we need new elements and/or qualifiers to describe
services?
–Authentication—what is needed? Is it a metadata issue?
•Activities:
–Informal survey based on issues list, via email (Andrew
by 1 Dec. 2001)
–Develop functional requirements (John Roberts by 28 Feb.
2002)
–Definitions??
