I forgot to refer to another interesting development in the field that will be
built on dubin core and similar standards:
http://www.bl.uk/services/bibliographic/meeting.html
Quote from the website:
"The meeting participants agreed that RDA and DCMI should work together to
build on the existing work of both communities.
The participants recommend that the RDA Committee of Principals and DCMI seek
funding for work to develop an RDA Application Profile -- specifically that the
following activities be undertaken:
* development of an RDA Element Vocabulary
* development of an RDA DC Application Profile based on FRBR and FRAD
* disclosure of RDA Value Vocabularies using RDF/RDFS/SKOS
"
I guess this could also be an interesting development backed by the library
community.
cheers,
Matthias Samwald
