  2. “Resource” • What's a resource? • Book, person, publisher, Location, Event, etc, etc, etc • Most current formats clump many together • The DC one-to-one principle • One resource, one description • Needs a good data model

  3. “Description” • Describing • “assisting those who create metadata” • Descriptions • What do we think metadata is? • Objective? • Produced once? • Contained? • Just labeled text? • index?

  4. “access” • Who's accessing? • Librarians, users, software? • Who's RDA for? • Librarians? • Implementers? • Content producers? (Teachers, students, etc)

  5. One spec? • Monolithic specs in this field doomed to failure • Take too long to produce • Won't take into account important needs of domains • Application profiles a good idea • Needs framework to be “specializable”
