Review of 2005/2006 WG activity Ownership of new terms, term URIs Previous versions of DC CD AP referenced several new terms but no organisational commitment to ownership/maintenance of terms not identified by reasonably persistent URIs no provision of representations (de-referencing) NISO Z39.91 Collection Description Schema (Nov 2005) Based on DC CD AP Assigned URIs (PURLs) for terms but (at that point) No organisational commitment to ownership/maintenance No de-referencing in place Decision Assign PURLs for new terms in DC CD AP Set up de-referencing (currently to RDF/XML served from dublincore.org) Discuss ownership/maintenance (poss. National Library of Finland)

Ownership of new terms, term URIs

Previous versions of DC CD AP referenced several new terms but

no organisational commitment to ownership/maintenance of terms

not identified by reasonably persistent URIs

no provision of representations (de-referencing)

NISO Z39.91 Collection Description Schema (Nov 2005)

Based on DC CD AP

Assigned URIs (PURLs) for terms but (at that point)

No organisational commitment to ownership/maintenance

No de-referencing in place

Decision

Assign PURLs for new terms in DC CD AP

Set up de-referencing (currently to RDF/XML served from dublincore.org)

Discuss ownership/maintenance (poss. National Library of Finland)
