<rant> As I read more and more external specs, I see a very clear convention for the meaning the prefix dc:. The conventional use is for the elements namespace, not the terms namespace. dcterms: is used for the terms namespace.
I have heard it asserted that if we align with the conventional use, then we might somehow break existing clients, but I haven't see any actual examples. I believe that it is better in the long term for OSLC to align with the norms of the larger Web community. We should therefore not diverge on the grounds of being "bug compatible" with some early implementations. Let's examine the real breakage, if any, and gracefully deprecate the old usage. Going forward, new specs should align with the convention. </rant> Regards, ___________________________________________________________________________ Arthur Ryman, PhD, DE Chief Architect, Project and Portfolio Management IBM Software, Rational Markham, ON, Canada | Office: 905-413-3077, Cell: 416-939-5063 Twitter | Facebook | YouTube
