Richard, Thanks for the update. I note that our next meeting is over 2 weeks away. I'd like to get further on the holdings "question" before that meeting so that we can discuss it then. There's a section in Use Cases, but I have also added some background data and data examples in: http://www.w3.org/community/schemabibex/wiki/Object_Types#Library_Holdings and I have continued to add screen shots to http://kcoyle.net/holdings.html I'm not sure what the next step is. I'm not sure that the object types page is the right place, but I don't think we're ready for a vocabulary proposal. Perhaps I could propose a few specific questions to discuss on the list? Or take the possible properties one at a time? Anyone have ideas? kc On 1/28/13 7:40 PM, Richard Wallis wrote: > Hi All, > > I can report that we had a SchemaBibExtend face2face meetup at ALA in > Seattle on Friday.
