FW: Use of Dublin Core in XML BIlls

["Daniel Bennett" <daniel@citizencontact.com>]

 

Attached you'll find a document I created that outlines some possible uses for Dublin Core metadata for both reference description and for administrative description.

 

I might call in a few minutes late to the conference call this afternoon.

Talk to you soon!
