Shigeo Sugimoto, his colleagues, and I just finished a short paper discussing some versioning requirements and alternative ways to version the Dublin Core. We also come down in favor of version-independent namespace and element names. At the same time, we suggest some mechanisms for helping developers or archivists specify or reconstruct the exact state of namespaces and definitions as of a particular date. We "very soon now" wanted to turn this paper into a strawman for discussion on the mailing list of the DCMI Registry Working Group (http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/dc-registry/join.html) and welcome anyone from this list to join. I would be happy to share this paper with anyone in the meantime.
