Document Description:
Here are the minutes from the October 5th, 2010 meeting of the
Infrastructure Framework Subcommittee. The members are engaged in reviewing
and approving edits to a draft DE 2.0 specification. At this meeting, the
following issues were discussed and edits considered:

ITEM (25) Other  Can we approve this edit to add Other to the table of
contents?   (Answer:-- Not quite yet, because well need to generate the
table of contents after all edits are done. So well leave it color-coded
grey for now and mark it green once weve completed the edits and generated
the table of contents and confirmed its there. ) ITEM (16) Circle Example
 The circle example needs to be fixed, everyone agree?   (Answer:-- Yes,
previously Jeff lumped this with the geo-oasis:Where topics, but Hans
correctly noted that we can fix this on our own.  Jeff will make the fix
and we'll approve next time.)

 ITEM (26) Mimetype  Can we approve this edit to limit the size of the
string Mimetype by adding the comment The string length of the identifier
must be less than 1024?   (Answer:-- Yes, approved.) 

 ITEM (27) ContentXml  Can we approve this edit to change XmlContent to
ContentXML?   (Answer:-- Yes, approved; however, the consensus is also to
undo the change from the OtherContent element and change it back to
ContentNonXml.)

  ITEM (28) Language  Can we agree on an edit to allow a way to specify a
language for each ContentObject?   (Answer:-- Yes, consensus is to add a
Language element to the ContentObject. Jeff will make this change.) 

  ITEM (29) and (30) EmbeddedXMLContent  Can we approve edit to say MAY
use only one per content object, CONDITIONAL, REQUIRED if parent element
ContentXML is present, and add to comments This element MUST be present
if parent element, ContentXML, is present?   (Answer:-- Yes, these edits
are approved.) 

 ITEM (31) ContentObject  Can we suggest an edit to allow other additional
areas to be specified beyond targetArea, such as sourceArea?    
(Answer:-- Consensus is to use a ValueListURI to provide flexibility to
specify an area with a keyword denoting the role for that area, such as
target or source. Hans will make this edit for approval at our next
meeting.)

 ITEM (32) Language  This issue was a duplicate of similar language issues
already raised, so can we agree that no edit is required and this issue is
closed?    (Answer:-- Yes, no edit needed, approved.)

 ITEM (33) Best Practice for Handling Lists  Should we put wrapper
elements around lists of items?    (Answer:-- Consensus is no. This issue
was unresolved at the face-2-face. The suggestion was that it is a best
practice to put wrapper elements around lists of zero to unbounded
sequences of xml elements, to help handle parsing in cases where there are
no items.  Although this may be a best practice in theory, it is not
usually followed and it adds many elements  simply for the purpose of
providing structure, one opening and closing element for each element
that is specified as a sequence of zero to unbounded. )

 ITEM (20) Revisited -- Linking Content Objects  Do we have a
recommendation for a way to link content objects?    (Answer:-- At our last
meeting, Dave said he would come up with a recommendation and Jeff
suggested potentially using XLink. At this meeting, Dave wasnt present, so
well postpone this issue; however, Jeff did provide some additional
background on XLink)
