What does a topic-type team and lead do?
- Assembles a team and convenes meetings
- Collects sample content
- Reviews and revises the overview description for the topic
type
- Develops a table of the specialized DITA elements needed
to support the topic type
- Develops DITA content samples for the topic type
- Drafts the specification for the topic type

Summary type  restatement of objectives
Instructional Design, Overview, Summary. Should it be a reference or a restatement?

Should objectives be a part of all 6 types?

John Accardi  keeping overview and summary very general (calling it context). Using it at a high level at course map, in specific topics.

Objectives
Main Points
Estimated Duration

John Hunt  Overview and Summary are the bookends for learning content.

Greg Davore 
Needed an overview for the day, as well as an overview for each of the modules. 

Rueben  use the same XML structure for both overview and summary. Tend to mark up objectives by audience, where multiple objectives could be sourced from a single file. Placing this on objectives would make a lot of sense.

Overview could be a learning object in and of itself (overview for the course, for example).

Overview and summary need to have enough content to be able to stand alone.

Need to discuss the difference between a SCO and LO.

John Accardi sent the following to the list to help with the discussion:

There are many different types of reuse. In SCORM, you can have assemblies of assemblies, so this should not be an issue. There are many different ways that we can create SCOs (standalone topics) and assemblies (maps w/topicrefs).

Under SCORM 2004, you can have different sequencing rules through the same content package.

Accardi: If you want the flexibility to SCORM-wrap at any level, you need to make sure you have the primitives at each of those levels to enable the ability to process it into a SCORM object.

Example of primitives includes: duration

Should duration be a domain specialization, or should we roll this up to the TC as a change to optional metadata on topic?

Potentially add Main Points?

Action: find out what is minimum information required by SCORM and post to Wiki.

This event is one in a list of recurring events.
