Subject: OpenDocument TC coordination call minutes 2007-06-11
* rollcall Robert Weir, IBM Yue Ma, IBM Helen Yue, IBM Patrick Durusau Florian Reuter, Novell Kohei Yoshida, Novell Eike Rathke, Sun Microsystems Lars Oppermann, Sun Microsystems Svante Schubert, Sun Microsystems Oliver Wittmann, Sun Microsystems Bruce D'Arcus, OpenDocument Foundation Gary Edwards, OpenDocument Foundation David A. Wheeler, OpenDocument Foundation * Minutes from last coordination call The attending TC members unanimously accepted the minutes from the last coordination-call. * action items n/a * status update Formula SC DavidW: we are preparing the final document. We have some issues with the OPenOffice.org HTML export concerning hidden text Oliver: We will have a look at that in the writer time DavidW: there are some intersting comment regarding the specification. They are however broader in scope than what we are doing with our specification now. We are specifying a formula language that is based on what existing spreadsheet apps do. The comments introduce new concepts. Strong type and unit systems for instance. Those are certainly useful. But this is nothing we can fit into the current effort. We can address some concerns by introducing some new functions, namely IFERROR and IFNA. Metadata SC Patrick: we finished our draft we propose a new flexible metadata mechanism which adopts W3C RDF as metadata facility into OpenDocument. Draft was published on the TC website Link is posted to the mailing list We are now working on examples that help to illustrate the concepts. We hope to have them finished in a week or two. Bruce: I can post some examples for citations. They may not yet be perfect but they may help Lars: please do Lars: What timeframe do you think we should set aside for review of the proposal until we revisit it in the TC? Bruce: I have also askjed for comments from the W3C semantic web group Patrick: 3 weeks seems like an apropriate review period for now Lars: is there a preference whether the metadata will become an independed part of the specification like formula and packaging? Patrick: it is not explicitly written in that way ... but being able to use the same mechanism in other formats is an atracktive thing Svante: I think the current proposal can be edited to be an independent part. There are things that need to go into the main spec body, like xml:id in odf elements... but the mechanism, manifest and data files have standing on their own. They might be used in many formats that use xml and xml:id Patrick: we should keep that in mind and do it if it is possible ACTION, everyone: read metadata proposal. post questions and comments during coming three weeks ACTION, metadata SC: post examples * general topics Lars: I cannot chair next weeks meeting because I am traveling. Michael will not be back either. DO we have a volunteer to chair a call on Monday? Eike or Oliver can set up the conference line so everyone can dial in as usual... Patrick: I take care of that call. we can further discuss metadata... Oliver: I will set up the conference then...
