does anybody know of contributions, reflections or recommendations from chemists or from a chemical point of view in the context of the metadata discussion which is connected with the keywords of "Dublin Core" or Warwick Framework". (For those who are interested see URL: http://purl.org/metadata/dublin_core). I know of the CML project which in my opinion goes in this direction. Are there others ? and this was followed by Peter Muaary Rust : It is my intention to get a frozen version of CML out over this (in our country) holiday period. CML has the same syntactic provision for META as HTML, but it is up to the molecular community how that is used. I have also (recently) introduced an <ADMIN>...</ADMIN> element which was driven by the needs of hyperglossaries in CML but is relevant to any chemical document. This is a flexible container and so can contain people, e-mails, addresses, etc. It could, for example, contain a list of the molecules in a paper (e.g. as SMILES strings or CAS regnos). I'd welcome suggestions :-) We are involved in a JISC/JTAP project for the delivery of multiple choice questions in chemistry (and mathematics). See : http://emrs.chm.bris.ac.uk/john/jisc.html and is part of the UK's JISC/JTAP projects : http://www.jtap.ac.uk/ and http://www.jtap.ac.uk/projects/index.html therein.

The questions are being held as a question bank in an Oracle database. The question of the classification of this material, to enable the proper automatic selection of questions has arisen. We would be very interested in contacting other chemists interested in the 'Dublin Core' and such meta classification of chemistry information.
