Fwd: VRA Schema from UCAI

All,

Here is the VRA schema created by the UCAI project at UCSD
http://gort.ucsd.edu/ucai/ in the form of Esme Cowles, the
programmer who's working on the project, for the metadata
which we have via ARTStor. Esme would like feedback on the
schema, as he explains, and is willing to consult with us on
RDF mapping decisions and data normalization issues (which
he has a lot of practical experience with).
