Approximately another 20 people working their way into > joining OASIS and intend to join the SC. We expect at least 10 of the > largest pharmaceutical companies to participate. We are planning an OASIS > webinar on 22 September "Defining DITA for pharmaceutical documents". The > purpose of the webinar is to address a broader audience of the > pharmaceutical companies around the world. We are working on scoping our > work. We want to refine it down to a work breakdown structure so we can > assign writing tasks and deadlines and plan our activities. The group is > focused on interface between DITA and other standards that support > pharmaceutical content. > 1) We want to liaise with certain pharmaceutical standards organizations > 2) There will be work to be done in mapping some of these other standards > into DITA. > Also mapping out what the other standards are so we can determine which > ones to map to. > Group members want to get as close as possible to an enforceable standard > Skip the regular SC rotation for pharma SC one time and pick it up after > their next meeting (expect update about a month from today). > Next week the Adoption TC will provide an update. * OASIS DITA for Technical Standards Subcommittee (inactive) > ACTION: Gershon to send Seth the new admin alias.

"Tech comm" is not > useful. After some discussion, the TC agreed that it's not very > descriptive, but no better proposals came up. Stay with this one. > The TC noted the need to also match the package names to these TOC > section names. * Learning and training * Outstanding action items: * Add hazard-statement graphics to applicable lang ref topics (Kravogel) > Kris noted she has not received anything from the Machinery SC. > ACTION: Kris to ping Chris K. * Follow up: * Action: Eliot on lockmeta updates * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200909/msg00021.html > Eliot has not had time to close. > EDITORIAL: The TC noted an editorial direction to ensure the lang ref > and arch spec accurately describe the expected behaviour. > CLOSED. * Under specification for @refcol * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200909/msg00024.html (Day) * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200909/msg00048.html (Kristen reply) > The spec is supposed to indicate that any of the items in that column > would be used as a key lookup somewhere else. The assumption was human > readable text would be good enough to do the look-up, e.g. associating > API names with target topics based on string matching plus semantic > scoping. This is a shorthand for wrapping a keyword around the whole > column. > ACTION: Gershon to add it to 1.3 list > ACTION Robert to ensure this states "reserved for future use." > CLOSED. * order for lang ref files * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200909/msg00042.html (Kristen reply) > ACTION: Su-Laine and Kris to continue offline and copy Michael and Gershon. > CONTINUED.

New ITEM: Issue: glossary.dtd does not conform to 1.2 naming specs (rate as a 1.2 bug?) * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200909/msg00022.html (Kimber) * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200909/msg00034.html (Ogden, "1.3?") > Insufficient time to complete this item. The following captures the discussion > during the meeting: > For consideration: Editorial team to address "glossary" topic error and also > update any list of file/module names. > For consideration: Robert and Eric to update the DTDs/schema with Eliot's > suggested fix. New public identifiers should use "Glossary Entry" in their > value. The existing (old) public identifiers must remain unchanged. > For consideration: Gershon to add to 1.3 list. > CONTINUED. Need to understand impact before making motion for the above > changes. *** Meeting Adjourned ***
