Subject: Re: [office-metadata] question for Elias on rdf:type/odf:type
Hi Bruce, public holiday here in Germany so I make it short. ;-) I just did a grep on the IRC log, but odf:type is not mentioned. I am quite sure the change was done even prior the dcterms:hasTo change by agreement of Elias. Even wrote yesterday a mail to Elias if we could come back to rdf:type and I am happy that we all agree on this now, although I am of course worried that we have no IRC log / proof on the agreement of the prior change. Be sure, that whenever one of the editors come up with a proposed change we would discuss it in the meeting before the change and make the decision public to the group. I am sorry, if there has been a misunderstanding. Now I am excited up the result of the group's hard work, let's keep the good work up and bring it to an excellent end.
