Here is a simple example of a particular use case and requirements for supporting language in RDF: DCMI Multiple Languages Special Interest Group [[ The mission of the Special Interest Group on Dublin Core in Multiple Languages is to coordinate the development of the Dublin Core as a multilingual metadata standard. As of June 1998, our focus is on creating a distributed registry of Dublin Core in multiple languages using the Resource Description Framework (RDF), an emerging standard syntax for expressing metadata schemas on the Web. ]] -- http://dublincore.org/groups/languages/ which has direct implications/requirements on the DCMI Registry group [[ The DCMI Registry Working Group aims to establish a metadata registry to support the activity of the DCMI. Exploration of the role of a DCMI registry is becoming a priority task in order to manage Dublin Core elements and qualifiers as they are used and adapted for an increasingly diverse set of applications. ]] -- http://dublincore.org/groups/registry/ a prototype registry services (registry here is the web.. really what this is is a database of RDF Schemas) is available at http://wip.dublincore.org:8080/registry/jsp/registry.jsp and if you search for 'creator' (for example) you would find Item # 1 http://dublincore.org/2000/03/13-dces#creator rdf:label Author/Creator rdf:label Verfasser oder Urheber rdf:label Créateur etc.etc.etc. This service is made up of loading RDF Schemas that have been created by people in the DCMI Multiple Languages Special Interest Group. Ideally each of these schemas would be maintained by organizations committed to long term persistence of these vocabularies. Unfortunately, these policies have not yet been articulated and agreed upon as the schemas that were used to load this prototype service are no longer available in their declared location. Sample search scenarios for this kind of service might be on the order of: 'show me the french representation of the dc:title element' 'show me the DCES in german' -- eric miller http://www.w3.org/people/em/ semantic web activity lead mailto:em@w3.org w3c world wide web consortium tel:1.614.763.1100 (primary) 200 technology square, ne43-350 tel:1.617.258.5714 cambridge, ma 02139 usa fax:1.208.330.5213
