Subject: Re: [oasis-member-discuss] Comments on Artifact ID requirements

Drummond -
I'm interested in such a discussion; I will also volunteer Mary (subject
to Jamie and Mary's veto).
Per the Member Review AIR WD 15.pdf document distributed with AIR WD15,
####################
"7. This document specifies a set of Required Metadata for OASIS
artifacts to be available in the document and/or associated metadata,
and also as a basis for exposing selected metadata in the Artifact
Identifier. Comments would be appreciated on the following plan for
XHTML metadata in the next Working Draft, and would be inserted into
section 5.5.2 and 5.5.3 (lines 438-450):
Use the style of “Expressing Dublin Core in HTML/XHTML meta and link
elements,” Dublin Core Metadata Initiative Recommendation, November 30,
2003, http://dublincore.org/documents/dcq-html/. The intent is to follow
the style, but not to make normative reference to the Recommendation
There will be one meta element per name-value pair. We may need to
define an OASIS metadata namespace to use as a prefix for the metadata
names.
The compatibility for versions of HTML before XHTML 1.0 would parallel
that for the DCMI Recommendation."
####################
Your proposed discussion addresses closely related issues.
When can we get together? This strikes me as a phone discussion at first.
Thanks.
