More Blog-worthiness, draft--to include Dublin Core report eventually

Another email nugget, not save-worthy, but definitely blog-worthy: Scholarly Electronic Publishing Weblog

Alphabet soup from Dublin Core: There were lots of acronyms flying around, some of which I knew, many of which I didn't. Below is an incomprehensive (or incomprehensible) list of letters, with definitions as I get the time to flesh them out.

• AIP: American Institute of Physics (I remember it in a different context though)--YEP, it's APPLICATION INTERFACE PROFILE, how related to API???


• API: application programming interface


• CEN: Comite Europeen de Normalisation or European Committee for Standardization


• DOI: Digital Object Identifier


• FGDC: Federal Geographic Data Committee


• GPL: probably the General Public License, link found here at the Open Source Initiative site


• IETF: the Internet Engineering Task Force
