Draft categorisation (2)
• Earliest schemas were largely conceptual in
nature:
– e.g. Pittsburgh BAC model, Cedars outline
specification, OCLC/RLG WG
• Gradually moving towards a more practical
focus:
– e.g., VERS, NLNZ, METS, PREMIS
– Based on XML (DTDs and Schemas)
• But there is an urgent need for this
experience to be shared
– e.g., briefing papers, advice to implementers
