UVa DescMeta is currently under development by the Metadata
Steering Group at the University of Virginia Library. The element set,
the minimal requirements, and the DTDs are still considered in-progress. The
DTD will be released as UVa DescMeta version 2.0 when development and prototyping
are complete.
