Richard introduced dcat at the W3C eGov IG call yesterday. The slides  
he used and more info at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-egov-ig/2010Mar/0083

Draft minutes at:
http://www.w3.org/2010/03/31-egov-minutes#item05

We discussed for a while and plan is to setup subproject within the  
IG, write a Group Note about DCAT and even using a W3C namespace for  
future revisions.

Thanks again to Richard for the very interesting discussion and  
willingness. Looking forward to start working on it.
