Karen,

I don't have anything useful to add, but just wanted to express my gratitude and second Owen's comment that this document is very nicely done.

The breakdown of key components (e.g., functional requirements vs. domain model vs. usage guidelines, etc.)  is quite helpful, as is the diagram of the Singapore Framework.

I also appreciated the concrete example of the "Bookshelf DCAP", and the demonstration of RDF triples in the context of a domain model (i.e., "book" and "author" as entities; "title" and "name" as properties"; "is authored by" as a relationship).

I'm intrigued by the possibility of integrating more dynamic, visually interesting applications of LCSH (http://lcsh.info/) and other vocabularies into our catalogs, and this document helps me better understand the prerequisites and opportunities to keep in mind.

/ Daniel
