As David points out, examples should not be considered as part
of the specifications and non-normative parts of EML so we should look to post
them as a separate exercise. Let’s look to work on them in the near future
please but only after David has cleared his decks with the EML changes.
David – thanks for the offer and Yes let’s do some work on this
once we’ve got the next PR of EML v6 out.

OK - I can generate those for you - but that will take extra time
here.
I also have a PPT from 2009 that steps you through using EML for
an election at US county level.
I will need to update that and make an OASIS version of that.
May take me a couple more weeks to even start into that given all the
other deliverables on my plate.
I believe this in any case needs to be separate from the
specifications AND non-normative - otherwise we get into more OASIS procedural
issues.
Plus - other TCs have used their Wiki to drive a resource center
for implementers with FAQ and examples etc - and of course TC members are free
to contribute to ours.

Both steps require a Full Majority vote. So when David has
completed the new dictionary I will post the entire package and set up a ballot
to cover both aspects. Clearly if anyone wants to discuss any of these
changes we should do that before I post the ballot so shout now please.
I haven't had a chance to look at the draft or the interim draft
(which I assume the draft supercedes). However, I need to reiterate
that the view from USA election metadata folks is that we need to
provide some minimal "hello, world!" examples of how we envision each
series to be used. I don't think I'm close enough to the XML to
produce such a thing (although with one in had, I can attempt to
curate it).
best, Joe
