Subject: 15 Oct conf call minutes
OASIS Regrep TC Conference Call Friday 15 October 1999 Minutes Terry Allen NOTE: although I was asked to reserve international lines for a conference call about a month ago, no one has used them for the last two calls. If you want to call in from outside the area that can connect to an 888 number, please inform me in the next few days, else I'll drop the international lines from the next conf call reservation. Agenda - discuss agenda, new items - news from XML.org Steering Committee meeting, if any - update plans for next face-to-face - THTTP - critique survey of semantics - new items - adjourn (did not formally take roll; may have missed a few) Joe Alfonso, Sun Terry Allen, Commerce One Ron Daniel, DATAFUSION Ravi Manikundalam, Microsoft Ernest Nishiseki, Dun & Bradstreet Norbert Mikula, DataChannel Ron Schuldt, UDEF This was a short call. Please, everyone, review the documents available at the OASIS site and posted in the last few weeks; silence means assent! The XML.org SC agreed that it would be a good idea to proceed to issue RFPs for provision of taxonomies and (separately) for repository software. Jon Bosak will look into the OCLC's attitude toward licensing Dewey as prelim to an RFP on the taxonomies issue. On the repository software, the SC made plans for finding someone to oversee the process, and may issue an RFI before an RFP. We enjoyed a presentation by Prof Pamela Samuelson on intellectual property rights for the XML.org repository, the gist of which is that between copyright, patent, and changing law, interpretation of the law, and Patent Office attitudes and competence, IPR for schemas and DTDs is more complicated than you have ever imagined. The next face-to-face will be in Santa Clara Nov 11-12 (half day on 12th), colocated with XML One and thus presumably in the Westin or the SC Convention Center. The next conference call will be 29 Oct (Friday), 8.30-9.30 AM Pacific (I may have said the 27th, mistakenly). Ron Schuldt says that the AIA (Aerospace Industries Association of America) has an XML/EDI proposal, which we should bring to the attention of XML.org. On their web site I don't find anything more recent on EDI than April 1997 (http://aia-aerospace.org). Perhaps that's because the Current Activities page hasn't been updated conciously since 18 July 1997 (although there is later material). Ron, can you supply a reference? On THTTP, I've contacted the authors of the draft (Ron Daniel and Michael Mealling) but made no progress; Ron Daniel suggests I book a conf call with him and MM to discuss THTTP; will do. Ravi asked a few questions about deliverables; I'll make the description of deliverables clearer in the revision of our document set that I'm doing this week. (In particular, we'll have a DTD for a manifest in a submission package.) The question arose of how include actual content in zip submission, rather than just pointing to it as I did in my most recent set of examples for Docbook; it occured to me later that one would point to content by filename (degenerate URL) rather than by full URL. I agreed to write up use cases for submission DTDs. Adjourned. regards, Terry Terry Allen Advanced Technology Group Commerce One, Inc. Walnut Creek, Calif. tallen[at]sonic.net
