Tom -- Can we point to a purpose for each element? Rob -- Use cases for each element would be good.
Isn't DC the Ur-core?
Nina -- What is the stripped down set of elements that belong in each record.
Rob -- DC is put forth as a common language for sharing metadata. We may decide the DC is how we will express and share metadata, but we need to choose our own elements.
