What labels to use for these elements?  Tom mentioned using DC

What kinds of metadata? Descriptive, Administrative.  Not Preservation

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.
