Hi team,

I have a suggestion for the Relevant Technologies document, I think we need
to introduce the term "application profiles". 

See slide 9 of
http://www.rlg.org/events/metadata2003/waibel.pdf

What are application profiles? 
- Application Profiles are schemas which consist of data elements from one
or more namespaces, combined together by implementors, and optimized for a
particular local application (Heery / Patel 2000, [1], [2])

What do they do?
- Express combining and refining of standards to suit your project
