---------------------------------------------------
Structured Querying.

We discussed the classic example: "find 'A' and 'B' within the same container element  'C' "

A suggested approach is to introduce a new context set, 'element' which defines a prox modifier: element.unit, with a value of 'parentElement' and a modifier 'element.parentElementName'. Thus:

A   PROX/element.unit=parentElement/distance=0/element.parentElementName=C  B 

Or even simpler, dispense with unit and distance:

A   PROX/element.container=C  B 

This seems to be a promising approach. 

In general, the LOM data, though it appears to be highly structured, for searching, the access points can be flattened out to a large degree.   So an 'element' context set might not be overly complex. 

---------------------------------------
Multiple query types and the QueryType parameter.

Everyone agrees that SRU 2.0 should support multiple query types.  There are two basic approaches: 

(1) use the query parameter to carry queries of all types and add a queryType parameter to specify how the query is to be interpreted.  

(2) No 'query' parameter, no queryType parameter.  Use the query type as the parameter name.   For instance,  if the query is a CQL query, theparameter might be CQLQuery; if it is a lucene query the parameter might be luceneQuery.

The first approach seems to be favored over the second.   There also seems to be general consensus that the queryType parameter should be optional.  If omitted, there would be a default. There does not seem to be complete consensus on what that default should be.   Should there be a standard-wide (static) defalt, i.e. "cql"? Or should the default be server-specific (specified by Explain)?


----------------------------------------------------
Response Format

The issue of response format was raised.  Will there be a request parameter to request a response format?  

An alternative approach would be that the response format is bound to a binding. Thus for SRU 2.0, the response format would always be the SRU 2.0 response format defined in the protocol.  There could be a different binding For RSS, etc.

This needs further discussion. 

-----------------------------------------------
CMIS TC

A draft TC charter has been submitted to establish the OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) Technical Committee.  The charter mentions  
* To assess the relationship of CMIS to other related standards and industry
efforts.  These include JCR (JSR-170, JSR-283), WebDAV, and other relevant
standards.
Kerry had brought up the suggestion that the relationship to our activity might also be relevant. 

Comments are due September 24.    Kerry will submit a comment on our behalf.

-------------------------------------
Next Meeting

As this call has no quorum and is missing several key members, it has not been as productive as we had hoped.  The next scheduled meeting (two weeks) will likely be cancelled, and the following Monday is a US holiday.  

We should not wait four weeks for the next call, so we will try to schedule a call next Monday, September 29.

This event is one in a list of recurring events.
