CIMI is pleased to announce that the Guide to Best Practice: Dublin Core is
now available for peer review.  This document, one of several important
outcomes of CIMI=EDs on-going Dublin Core Metadata Testbed, focuses on the
usability, simplicity, and technical feasibility of Dublin Core within the
cultural heritage community.

The Guide to Best Practice addresses Dublin Core 1.0 as documented in RFC
2413.  The recommendations expressed in the Guide are based on the
experiences of the Testbed participants and are designed to provide
direction on representing cultural heritage resources as currently captured
and described in typical museum collections information management systems.

How to participate in the peer review

1.      Download a copy of the Guide in one of three formats  HTML, PDF,
Word98.
2.      Provide your comments electronically (separate comment pages are
indicated throughout the document).
3.      Return your annotated copy of the Guide as an e-mail attachment.
4.      Return to: Angela Spinazze, CIMI Dublin Core Metadata Testbed
Project Manager ats=40atspin.com
5.      Deadline:  April 28, 1999

We look forward to hearing from you.
