Anyone else want to take a look at this? I've had a look, and it's certainly interesting, but I'd like more input from the FreeBSD side before this becomes a Linux only thing, if possible. N ----- Forwarded message from Paul Jones <pjones@metalab.unc.edu> ----- Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 14:23:32 -0400 (EDT) From: Paul Jones <pjones@metalab.unc.edu> To: techwriters@linuxchix.org, Deb Richardson <deb@thepuffingroup.com> Subject: [oswg] metadata for Linux docs as i mentioned in earlier e-mail, we've been working on an initial description of metadata elements for Linux Documents of all sorts derived from Dublin Core elements with an XML DTD and a prototype entry template that produces XML for use in a variety of database applications. http://metalab.unc.edu/osrt/projects.html we in this case are: Miles Efron, Kendall Clark, Jane Greenberg, Matt Knuppel, Ishmael Olea, Paul Jones and Victor Ruiz (sorry if i left anyone out). The idea is that the metadata conform to known standards, be somewhat independent of the documents (like say card catalogue records), be simple enough to be filled out by the authors (like the LSMs), be easily shared, and enhance searching and retrival of relevant documents. in theory, someone could do a template based search (sorta like http://metalab.unc.edu/linsearch/ ) and find a How-to on modems in Polish, or all the documents written by Victor, or even all video sources of eric raymond talks which may not even be on-line. please let us know what you think. thanks, P ========================================================================== Paul Jones "We must protect our precious bodily fluids!"
