New draft of OLAC metadata standard

[Gary Simons]

Dear all,

Our workshop is fast approaching!  One of the things we will be discussing
is the proposal for the version 1.0 OLAC metadata standard which includes
an extension mechanism.  Steven and I had previously presented the basic
ideas for discussion in this list, but have finally completed a draft of a
document describing the proposed standard.  It is posted at:

     http://www.language-archives.org/drafts/metadata.html

A related document that lists the extensions that are being proposed as
OLAC Recommendations is also available at:

     http://www.language-archives.org/drafts/olac-extensions.html

Links to these documents now appear on the workshop preparation page:

See you soon,
-Gary
