Agenda and Notes, May 24, 2006

• Differences between Metadata Schemas and Application Profiles:
  • Metadata Schemas are sets of terms and definitions thereof (like a vocabulary)
  • Application Profiles use terms from schemas, and descriptions of usage, without being able to change definitions or create new terms

• Review UB meeting progress. Questions:
  • Should we move ahead to specify vocabularies/properties for Metadata Schemas and Application Profiles (using our best guess of UB will come up with)?
  • Should we then register these properties as ours, and prepare to crosswalk to the UB set when that becomes possible? What's the downside of doing this?
  • If we don't do this, what are our options for continuing to develop the Registry?

• Review current status of Registry progress
  • Current instance
  • Development instance

• Review Timetables and deliverables for the remainder of the summer
  • Roadmap
