Notes
-----

We had an extensive discussion of section 5.7 of the NMDF Tech Spec, 
which explains the model

The W3C folks made the point that the IPTC's current approach to
meta-metadata and reification reduces extensibility over predicates

We note that the IPTC needs QNames for reasons of compactness

We noted the similarity between skos:broader and iptc:parent


Actions
-------

Laurent to make his slides available

Laurent to make a GRDDL transform, taking our syntax as input

Mark to try to crack the reification issue and put together an
XHTML-RDF/A representation of section 5

Michael to prepare the Description Component & Administration 
Component for publication

Misha to arrange the next call
