The plan for provides for focusing the effort on core definition content for artifacts that are currently in use or immediately needed.

Agenda

Handling Deprecated Attributes

We reviewed the current set of attributes that need to be retired, but which have not been removed owing to dependent designs. Agreed that all but one of these changes replaced the deprecated attribute with a semantically-equivalent construct that could be substituted "automatically". The remaining change - context conduction - needs further analysis. It is likely that some fraction of these could also be replaced "automatically", but that it is also likely that not all such changes could be done.

Beeler agreed to undertake to analyze these and offer (propose) a Harmonization change and a proposed strategy for review during the Harmonization interim conference calls.

Parking Lot Items

• Act class LIST - guidance on the use of this class. What is a "Dynamic" list? ACTION (Kevin Coonan): Create a M&M Hot Topic on this for discussion at a future conference call.
• HDF Status as a Methodology Guide - the project closed and was intended to be taken over by the SAIF project. The generation of Domain Analysis Models has taken off since then and the HDF is not clear on how to this correctly. Questions on this would be take this forward to the SAIF Artifact Definition process.
• CMET Alignment implication - the concern will be with the semantic compatibility of the new CMETs and whether harmonization with the new domain models breaks the semantic compatibility. ACTION (Alexander): Create a new M&M Hot Topic to be discussed in a future M&M conference call.
• Terminology Authority Discussion at Harmonization - ACTION: Discuss this at the upcoming Harmonization meeting
• Deprecated Attributes for Harmonization - ACTION (Woody): M&M will submit a proposal to deal with these attributes
