Fw: [stdsreg] Standards Registry Metadata Definition, v1.0

[Martin Bryan <mtbryan@sgml.u-net.com>]

Good start Bob. Re a couple of your comments:

 > +  Do we want to include an equivalent of the Dublin Core "Rights"
Element,
> described as follows:  "Information about rights held in and over the
> resource. Typically, a Rights element will contain a rights management
> statement for the resource, or reference a service providing such
> information. Rights information often encompasses Intellectual Property
> Rights (IPR), Copyright, and various Property Rights. If the Rights
element
> is absent, no assumptions can be made about the status of these and other
> rights with respect to the resource."

We probably do not want the rights information itself, but a pointer to the
source of rights information

> +  Use Dublin Core ontologies for document properties
> +  Look at DAML.org for registry of ontologies

Over the longer term we should be using the W3C OWL definitions, but it will
be a couple of years before these are finished.
