TC Deliverables planning
-----------------------------------
The ballot to approve Code List Representation (genericode) Version 1.0 with Non-Material Changes as a Committee Specification has passed:
Further discussion is needed for possible future work including for instance further improvements and/or adapt genericode for submission to ISO.
Progression to ISO requires: - adaptations needed on the text to adapt it to ISO and IEC Directives
- clear understanding on implications, such as:
- the consequences in terms of free availability
- future maintenance from OASIS
- any IPR issue
Semantic model / meta-model
-----------------------------------------
James volunteered for start looking into the
"semantic model / meta-model of genericode" topic and assessing if the
fit of the metamodel to current Genericode specification.
The NIEM metamodel should be analysed, Git repository:
https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/codelist/email/archives/202105/msg00004.html
Proposed
extensions to the NIEM metamodel to support genericode features such as
multiple columns and keys with mocked up example based on
nc:LanguageCode that introduces 3 new elements to the NIEM metamodel,
for discussion:
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/codelist/202106/msg00005.html
Ken observed the following about the metamodel in light of the work being done in JSON:
- it may be premature to continue work on the metamodel until we determine its utility in light of our earlier decision on JSON
-
earlier it was decided that the JSON syntax is only a demonstration
subset of genericode so that users can tailor the JSON to their own
needs
- if we aren't going to create the entire genericode in JSON, what is the use of a metamodel?
-
already proposals are made to have different names in the JSON than in
the XSD, so what would we have to do in the metamodel to identify
semantics that are labeled differently in the two syntaxes
-
Ken proposed to suspend the metamodel preserving the work done so far
and put our efforts into a parallel subset JSON and other
responsibilities on the project
This was agreed at the 30 July 2021 meeting.
Genericode document editing
------------------------------------------Genericode Version 1.0 has been approved as a Committee Specification and a ticket open by TC Admin: Some editorial changes contingent to the publication process are needed and documented in the ticket.
New initiative from the European Commission, proposed EU Regulation on harmonised rules on fair access to and use of data (Data Act) with
the aim of ensuring fairness in the allocation of value from data among
actors in the data economy and to foster access to and use of data
(see: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=COM:2022:68:FIN). In particular: - Recital 79: Reusable
data structures and models (in form of core
vocabularies), ontologies, metadata application profile, reference data
in the form of core vocabulary, taxonomies, code lists, authority tables, thesauri should also be part of the technical specifications for semantic interoperability.
- Article 28 - Essential requirements regarding interoperability
1. Operators
of data spaces shall comply with, the following essential requirements
to facilitate interoperability of data, data sharing mechanisms and
services:
(b) the data structures, data formats, vocabularies, classification schemes, taxonomies and code lists shall be described in a publicly available and consistent manner
