eFoundations: Metadata guidelines for the UK RDTF - please comment

eFoundations: Metadata guidelines for the UK RDTF - please comment: "As promised last week, our draft metadata guidelines for the UK Resource Discovery Taskforce are now available for comment in JISCPress. The guidelines are intended to apply to UK libraries, museums and archives in the context of the JISC and RLUK Resource Discovery Taskforce activity.

The comment period will last two weeks from tomorrow and we have seeded JISCPress with a small number of questions (see below) about issues that we think are particularly worth addressing. Of course, we welcome comments on all aspects of the guidelines, not just where we have raised issues. (Note that you don't have to leave public comments in JISCPress if you don't want to - an email to me or Pete will suffice. Or you can leave a comment here.)

The guidelines recommend three approaches to exposing metadata (to be used individually or in combination), referred to as:

the community formats approach;
the RDF data approach;
the Linked Data approach."
