Recap of Winter Meeting (if needed)
Status of new DCPs
- DCP-4: Use of xlink attributes in Atom <link> tags
- DCP-5: Use of OpenSearch <Query> tags for valid parameter values
- DCP-6: Replace overloaded time:start and time:end tags with dc:date
- DCP-7: define error handling best practices

Current Version: DCP-4: OPeNDAP Links in the Atom <link/> element
Potentially use "role" and "arcrole" from xlink to capture all the semantics of DCP-3.
Should we change DCP-4 to the current OPeNDAP suggestion, or should there be a separate DCP for the more general case of DCP-4?
Brian suggests a separate DCP for the general case (e.g., using "arcrole"), this will be coming in DCP-5
- Basically, covering the case where service casts refer to collections, or collection casts referring to services
Returning a collection cast is a different use case from returning OPeNDAP response
Pedro suggests you don't need to use something like arcrole, IANA has registered mime types and rels that should cover everything
Summary -> DCP-4 will use xlink role, DCP-5 will use xlink role and arcrole
