Guidelines: Draft Proposal

Description

The majority of work on the Dublin Core has addressed the definition of semantics rather than syntax or structure, allowing rapid conceptual development free of the constraints imposed by specific implementation environments. Whilst beneficial in many ways, this has led to a certain lack of clarity at times, especially in relation to development of 'qualification' mechanisms which enrich descriptions in the Dublin Core. It has also made interoperable implementation difficult, as individual implementors have typically developed their own internal mechanisms for actually encoding Dublin Core; mechanisms which are not always compatible with those of their potential collaborators elsewhere.
