The document named DRAFT-02-15-11-Minutes-IF-Subcommittee.doc
(DRAFT-02-15-11-Minutes-IF-Subcommittee.doc) has been submitted by Jeff
Waters to the EM Infrastructure Framework SC document repository.

Document Description:
At today's meeting, Jeff reported that a working draft version 1 of the DE
2.0 has been posted. (See
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency-if/download.php/41140/EDXL-DE-v2.0-wd01.odt.)
In addition to using the new OASIS template, the primary changes from the
previous draft were the additions and revisions of the data dictionary
tables resulting from the reorganized DE 2.0 schema.  The following topics
were discussed:

1.   TOPIC: Should we document the common type elements in our DE 2.0
specification or reference and await for those common types to be defined
in their own RIM-sponsored specification?  (Answer: Reference and await the
RIM-sponsored committee draft specification, because otherwise element
documentation for these elements will be duplicated in multiple specs (e.g.
DE and Sitreps ) and we could put the effort we would otherwise put into
the documentation in the DE and put it into the RIM effort. Also the RIM
only needs to move this to a committee draft specification, which means
no public review is required.)

2.   TOPIC: Should we use the word default to refer to our default value
lists for DE 2.0 elements like DistributionType or DistributionStatus,
since they are required to be inserted, i.e. we don't allow null or blank
values with the assumption that the default value will be inserted? 
(Answer: We will consider this as we move forward with our next working
draft.)

3.   Would someone like to sign up for revising the TargetArea section of
our DE 2.0 Working Draft?  (Answer: Lew graciously offered to spearhead the
revision of the TargetArea portion of the DE 2.0, including issues such as
whether circle documentation should go into the OASIS SimpleFeatures
Profile.)
