New draft of the self-description microformat

Posted under Everything!, Self Description - Feb 10th, 07

Not had a huge amount of time available over the last few months, however, we have made some progress.

Firstly there is a new draft of the microformat. Through the process of writing an XMDP profile, a couple of inconsistencies cropped up, so these have been fixed. Most notable is the use of title instead of name. This is because we are trying to follow the collection description application profile (DC CD AP) being developed by Dublin Core. We can’t, and won’t, support all of the DC CD AP because the main aim of self-description is to keep it simple. There are also some aspects of the DC CD AP that we think are not entirely useful for the use cases we are anticipating.
