I have opened two issues on the Darwin Core Google Code issues tracker. Issue 135 (http://code.google.com/p/darwincore/issues/detail?id=135) involves the technical definition of dwc:ResourceRelationship. Issue 136 (http://code.google.com/p/darwincore/issues/detail?id=136) involves the lack of clarity of the identity of the Darwin Core normative (Type 1) documents. Steve Baskauf -- Steven J.

Suggested changes to DwC documentation

I have submitted two issues related to documentation of Darwin Core: http://code.google.com/p/darwincore/issues/detail?id=133 regarding XSLT transformation of the normative document http://code.google.com/p/darwincore/issues/detail?id=134 regarding clearly identifying which documents are the normative documents I think they could be handled administratively without invoking the full process described in the namespace policy if the DwC task group (i.e. John Wieczorek) thinks they are advisable.
