Jon, we have implemented a URC service based on the Dublin Core Metadata set. With some small modifications, we found Dublin Core to be a good base to describe document-like objects. We currently tested it with about 50 technical reports. The URN Interoperability Project at: http://www.dstc.edu.au/RDU/TURNIP/ shows our work. We have been cooperating with the Centre for Earth Observation and their URC service (which uses IAFA) We also developed an internal library system (to catalogue our books and journals) and used Dublin Core. Cheers...
