Subject: Description language -- shared semantics
The two models for the Description Language might be described as follows: Model 1.) Descriptions of services are written by users for their own consumption. Model 2.) Descriptions are supplied by service providers (or third parties) for the consumption of users. Model 2 implies that there has to be a shared view of the semantics of the various query elements. I.e. Z39.50 Bib-1, a CQL context set. The Description Language would probably need to accommodate both of those and others besides. Model 1 needs no concept of shared semantics as I know what I mean when I write in the Description that this query element is the 'Title'. Any Description Language we come up with should accommodate both models. I did provide some provision for the semantics of query elements in the stuff I did earlier, but it obviously needs more work to see how it might, say, support a CQL context set.
