    • Machine-readable Metadata Modeling Specification (M3) WG
      • Some slow down but getting close to deliverables (YAML file, JSON schema for meta-metadata properties, and identification of appropriate serializations for schema)
      • Question of ongoing governance and where a maintenance plan fits into the charge of a Working Group; will continue to benefit from updates as experiments continue
      • Future/new iterations of this WG may take a form similar to the URI Selection WG, handling queries and maintenance projects as they arise
