Minutes

• SVN and Publishing

    • Tag - a "badge" applied to each member of a set of files saying those files belong to a set identified by the tag. Implemented in SVN as a "tag folder" with a set of pointers to the content. Seen as a "folder" under "tags" (sibling to "trunk") one folder/per assigned tag

Monday Q2

Agenda

• RIM and Core Principles ballot reconcilliation
• Proposed re-org of document from technical editors

Minutes

• We reviewed Ravi's comments on the RIM ballot (the ballot was for comment only).
  • COMMENT -- The codingStrength identifiers are moved into the vocabulary models. So at present user has to traverse back and forth between rim and vocabulary's to get this information which is very tedious.
    • RESPONSE -- Suggest that the representation for CNE of structural attributes be picked up from Vocabulary and displayed in RIM representation.
  • COMMENT -- The list of structural attributes needs to present which is missing. At the moment present the partial list is present in the XML_ITS specification document. CfH harmonisation proposal dated FEB 2006 related to this (discussed and accepted) is never implemented so far.
    • RESPONSE -- Add immutable status after "Mandatory" in the attribute detail. Also include a list of immutable attributes in an appendix.
  • COMMENT -- The cardinality for these attributes (Attachment.id and Attachment.text) are 1..1 which similar to the structural attributes. Are these attributes Mandatory similar to Act.classCode or Do they have to be marked 0..1 as against to 1..1.
    • RESPONSE -- Prepare a harmonization proposal to either assert that these are required, or make them 0..1. Other option is to display "not required" for all attributes with a blank conformance indicator.
• Discussion of reorganizing the Core Principles document.
  • TODO: GET LINK TO REVISED DOCUMENT
