to the DC-ARCHITECTURE mailing list,
including "[DCAM Public Comment]" in the subject line. Public Comment will befrom 5 February
through 5 March 2007.]]><![CDATA[Public Comment on a DCMI vocabulary of domain and range classes]]>
http://dublincore.org/news/2007/dcmi-news-.txt
proposal for a vocabulary of classes and their use
as the domains and ranges of metadata elements maintained by DCMI. Domains and ranges specify --
in a form usable for inferencing -- what kind of described resources and value resources
are associated with a given property. The assignment of formal domains
and ranges makes the meanings implicit in natural-language definitions available for machine processing.
So as not to affect the conformance of legacy implementations of Simple Dublin Core in RDF
(see notes on this issue), DCMI proposes to replicate
the fifteen elements of the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set —
currently identified using the namespace http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ — in the namespace
http://purl.org/dc/terms/. Terms in the former namespace are to remain unspecified as to domain and
range; terms in the latter are to be assigned domains and ranges as outlined in the proposal.
"Domains and Ranges for DCMI Properties"
has been posted for Public Comment from 5 February through 5 March 2007. Interested members
of the public are invited to post comments to the
DC-ARCHITECTURE mailing list, including "[Domains and Ranges Public Comment]" in the subject
line. After Public Comment, the proposal will be submitted to the DCMI Usage Board
for a further review and decision.
