Bernard,

Thanks for putting this together. I have a few comments about the 
Recommendations:

For the new definition proposal for published subject we now have, "A 
published subject is any subject for which at least one subject definition 
document has been made available by an identified publisher."

How about this instead if we need to be more explicit:

"A published subject is any subject for which at least one subject 
definition document at a stable URI has been made available for public use 
by the publisher identified within the published subject documentation."


This is only for clarification, but for the subject indicator definition, 
the sentence that Lars Marius recommended is in addition to the first 
sentence and does not  replace it completely?

  "A subject indicator is a resource that is intended by the topic map 
author to provide a positive, unambiguous indication of the identity of the 
subject. A resource can become a subject indicator by being referred to as 
such by some topic in  some topic map."

For 3.2, in addition to the abbreviated list that Lars Marius proposed, can 
we also recommend to add dc:date with a comment that this is the date of 
publication? Is version information really needed or would this date suffice?

Can we also add the acronyms in parenthesis to the published subject 
documentation (PSD)  and the subject definition document (SDD) definitions? 
There are no acronyms used for the other definitions in ISO 13250, so this 
may not be good to have acronyms for some but not for others. I just wanted 
to put this on the table to be thought about.

It would be nice to have at least one  example of the PSD and the 
individual SDDs.

Best regards,
Mary
