   ODF Document Controls Profile uploaded
   John noted that this version incorporates changes made per Erik's
   suggestions re: proper formatting.

3. Issues
   Attribute Manifest File
   Hal reviewed AMF, describing its mechanism for communicating
   metadata about information via attributes (which may be used in
   making access control policy decisions).

   Paul suggested that RDF be considered for making the solution more
   flexible and as an efficient tie into an Enterprise Ontology
   solution.

   Seth asked what the primary Use Cases are. Hal offered that it
   primarily tries to address how to handle missing attributes.

   Paul offered that this type of information needs to be persisted
   somehow and that this represents an attempt to do so in a standard
   manner.

   Hal asked if Paul could provide non-proprietary examples that may
   be used for consideration in exploring RDF.

   Paul will submit appropriate examples on the wiki as available.

   Hal noted that the format of the currently posted document will
   be modified to conform more closely to the Oasis standard.
