DLF Spring 2009 Forum BoF Session

Session Overview
Kevin, Melanie and Michelle to flesh out with talking points.


 * 5 mins: Welcome and Purpose for Revision (P5, Conformance, True Libraries Customization): Kevin
 * 5 mins: Introductions (?)
 * 5 mins: Quick overview of the Header: Melanie
 * Updated for P5
 * Updated based on actual Header usage – reflect that Headers are created and used in a variety of environments
 * Old guidelines attempted to relate Header to MARC cataloging. We have continued that, but have also taken into account non-MARC metadata. In this phase we clarified MARC references and accommodations, while making sure the guidelines are useful for those creating their Headers by hand, and those generating them from (or using them with) other standards. Future phases should include mappings and recommendations for using MARC and other standards with Headers.
 * Clarifies some things (like when you are describing the source document and when you are describing the TEI document)
 * Encourages standardization whenever possible to facilitate interoperability
 * Encourages machine-readability
 * 5 mins: Quick overview of levels 1-5: Michelle
 * Level 1 & 2: automatic content generation (I will flesh these out a bit more)

 * Level 4: content analysis
