Meta Data Requirments Sub Committee

[Michael Brauer - Sun Germany - ham02 - Hamburg <Michael.Brauer@Sun.COM>]

Dear TC members,

in the last coordination call we discussed the option of creating a sub 
committee which collects meta data requirements. Below is a charter proposal 
for a meta data requirments sub committee.

Because sub committee require some administration work for the TC as well as 
for OASIS, we may also consider the option to identify a sub group of TC 
members that works on these requirments without creating a sub committee. To 
simplify that, we may consider to use a Wiki.

Best regards

Michael



OpenDocument Meta Data Requirements Sub Committee (MDRSC) Draft Charter
=======================================================================

Statement of purpose
--------------------
1. To gather use cases for the application of meta data in OpenDocument 
documents and OpenDocument aware applications.
2. To classify the use cases.
3. To derive meta data related requirements for future versions of 
OpenDocument from the use case classes.

Deliverables
------------
1.A list of meta data use cases for OpenDocument documents and OpenDocument 
enabled applications, together with a classification of the use cases.
2.A list of meta data related requirements for future versions of OpenDocument.

Scope of work
-------------
The subcommittee's work is to collect use cases where meta data is passed or 
stored along with OpenDocument documents, to classify them as described 
above, and to derive a set of requirements for future versions of 
OpenDocument from these classes. The requirements must not be based on or 
include use case dependent meta data ontologies.

Manner and schedule of work
---------------------------
The work of the subcommittee will be primarily through conference
calls and a mail list set up by OASIS for subcommittee work, or other IT 
tools provided by OASIS for TC work. Access by the public will be through an 
openly available mail list archive.

Conference calls will be scheduled on a regular basis as agreed by the sub
committee after its formation.
