I wasn't at the DC2007 conference but I was very interested in the proposed model for 'DC Abstract Model-conformant Application Profiles' (Singapore Framework) http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DescriptionSetProfile?action=Atta chFile&do=get&target=dcap-model_printout.pdf
(linked from http://dublincore.org/architecturewiki/DescriptionSetProfile) This puts a lot of things in perspective for me -- though it also seems to set a pretty high bar, in my opinion! <<A DCAM-conformant Application Profile ("DC Application Profile") is a packet of documentation which consists of: 1. Functional requirements (desirable) 2. Domain model (mandatory) 3. Description Set Profile (DSP) (mandatory) 4. Usage guidelines (optional) 5. Encoding syntax guidelines (optional)>> So in RDA terms we would have FRBR supplying 1 and 2 (partly), RDA proper as supplying 4., and 2, 3 and 5 to be worked on by the DC-RDA group?
