How many DC-brief schemas and how many DC-full schemas do we need.? What is the difference between DC and DC-full. When I ask for DC, do I get DC-full or DC-brief. What if a server only supports DC and I ask for DC-brief? Do I get an error message or the server's best choice? Some do not accept "DC" but require the URI: http://www.loc.gov/zing/srw/dcschema/v1.0/ . Others use http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ for requesting DC. And in OAI DC is compulsary and it is called oai_dc, but is is just dc. Is there a schema that allows me to say: "I prefer DC-brief, but I do understand qualified DC-full and I will not crash when there are a few elements from other namespaces"? We introduce more and more incompatibility by overstructuring things in a non-functional way. Maybe it is time for a change.

Joe -- Although we continue to maintain the clear distinction between syntax and schema, we decided (also at the Dublin meeting -- maybe you were "out of the room"?) not to perpetuate the distinction between schema and element set name, for xml. Thus "DC-full" and "DC brief" would be two schemas. This was the consensus at Dublin. --Ray
