The document named DRAFT-EDXL-RIM-SC-MtgNotes-12-02-2010.doc
(DRAFT-EDXL-RIM-SC-MtgNotes-12-02-2010.doc) has been submitted by Jeff
Waters to the EM Reference Information Model SC document repository.

Document Description:
 At today's meeting, the members discussed the following topics:

1. Should we choose geo-oasis:Where as the first example  to move  through
our new RIM process for approval as a common type? (Answer: Probably not.
Due to the difficult history of the geo-oasis:Where gaining consensus,
might be better to choose an easier example, such as ValueListURI. )

2. How should RIM best develop a common data model? (Answer: Develop a list
of common categories and fill them out with submissions from subcommittees
whenever that occurs. To be more proactive and attempt to draft a complete
common data model is too much work for the limited RIM staff and may not be
possible given the difficulty of some of the challenges that require an
elegant solution with general consensus, when the subject matter experts
are working in other subcommittees. RIM does not have the participation
required to be the problem solver, but does have the responsibility to
identify missing or conflicting components and request assistance from
subcommittees to contribute or resolve. Action Items: 1) Rex will work on
draft of common type categories; 2) Jeff/Werner will merge their separate
contributions as needed into Werner's draft vision document. )
