[VM] Meeting in Madrid; regrets Sep 19

Dan, Alistair, and I attended DC-2005 in Madrid last week and
had a chance to discuss the Vocabulary Management note.  We had
a brief opportunity to discuss this with Eric Miller as well.

DCMI has a concrete problem to solve in this regard inasmuch
clicking on the URIs of a Dublin Core term currently takes
users to a screenful of angle brackets at the top of the RDF
schema, and we currently see this as a problem (try clicking
on http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/title).

We considered different approaches to improving on this using
content negotiation or GRDDL and, ideally, would like to
agree on a common approach among SKOS, FOAF, and Dublin Core.
Solving this problem would provide the basis for a short
note on the basis of the current draft, however some further
discussion is needed to agree on a solution.  We think that
a solution would provide a nice example for others to follow.
Such a tightly scoped note seems like the most realistic path
forward between now and February given our schedules.

Unfortunately, I have the usual problem with attending the 
telecon this evening.  If Dan or Alistair are on the call,
perhaps you could describe a bit more of our discussions.

Many thanks,
Tom
