Hi Paul...here are my quick notes from an initial read-through:
---
9. Resource Type
Label: TYPE
Obligation: Optional
Maximum Occurrence: Repeatable
The category of the resource. To promote consistency, TYPE
should be selected from the following list:
HOWTO
mini-HOWTO
user's guide
administrator's guide
programmer's guide
installation guide
---
Is the list of document types extensible? I can think of a couple of
others I would like to add for the OSWG, for example ("article",
"research paper").
I'm also a little confused about the fact that the type can be
repeatable. Does this mean you can classify a single document in more
than one type catagory? (I've possibly missed something :)
---
14. Relation
Label: RELATION
Obligation: Optional
Maximum Occurrence: Repeatable
A URL that points to the IDENTIFIER element of another resource. Each
instance of RELATION links the resource to other resources of similar
domain or style.
---
I'm not quite sure I understand the purpose of "relation". Could you
expand on that a bit here?
Finally, from the last section (15), I assume that the list of licenses
allowed in the RIGHTS.type catagory is modifiable/extensible. (?) I
doubt the list of open-source/open-content licenses is anywhere near
static at this point :>
I like the xmlifier. Once the information is xmlified, however, what's
to be done with it? I'm not quite sure I understand what the "big
picture" of the project is. Could you walk me though it a bit?

easier)
