Folks:

This looks like a good start, but I have some concerns. It seems to me
that in addition to an actual Clearinghouse of Materials, we should be
providing a model of a clearinghouse as well. For instance, if we're
developing a vocabulary, we should follow good practices for establishing
and declaring a vocabulary (definitions, relationships between terms, an
XML schema, perhaps). If we're describing resources, we should be doing so
according to an established metadata schema.

I realize that this is just a start and clearly Anita has worked very hard
at getting these materials up for us to look at. But at this point it's
important for us to come to grips with what it is we're doing and what
message we're conveying in the doing of it.

Regards,
Diane
