Thanks to Eliot Christian for catching a key
omission in my notes!
Meeting notes for October 7, 2003 OASIS EM GIS SC
Teleconference
In attendance: Carl, Elliot, Rex, Thomas, Clark
(for ESRI), Gary, Gopal
1. Had a short discussion on Forms. Agreement that
while there is no way the GIS SC can
influence commonalities content and structure standards
for Government Forms across all Government. We
can make progress on the smaller subset of EM-relevant forms so long as we
accept that some obviously common elements (name, address...) may be differently
defined across communities of practice. (Eventually a common
semantic registry is envisioned to help with this broader issue, but that has
been very slow in getting off the ground.)
We also discussed documenting best practices for coding geospatial elements that are in these forms. Examples of best practices might be how to express a coordinate reference systems (e.g. WGS 84) and recommendations for geocodes, such as the ISO standard for country codes (editor's example). 2. Short discussion on the Symbology
Interoperability Requirements document. No changes other than recommended
edits/additions received via email. Carl is to collate, update and repost by
Friday, Oct 10. Should be viewed as a fairly stable position and recommendation
document.
3. Good discussion on what the GIS SC should do
next. Discussion focused on best practices and approaches for using XML Schema
for encoding EM Symbology content (art work). Following was
suggested:
These discussions will continue during our next
teleconferences. |
