In addition to sharing status, John Sowa and Bob Spillers have indicated
that there may be other related efforts to bring into the loop. As far as
the formal standardization side goes, I'd like to get some resolution soon
as to what if anything might be standardized, what's to be made publically
available outside the standardization arena, what's proprietary, etc. Many
people are asking about standardization efforts. I know there was some
discussion of this issue at the ISO Meta Data Workshop in July, so I'm
hoping Frank Olken can bring us up to date on the direction coming from
that meeting.
