Subject: [stdsreg] StdsReg meeting minutes, 25 June [n023]


Minutes of the Standards Registry committee conference call #9, 25
June 2002 [document N023]

Attendence: Karl Best, Makx Dekkers, Em delaHostria, Bob Hager, John
Ketchell

 (Call hosted by OASIS)

1. Introduction

Roll call and welcome from Karl Best.

The agenda was approved (document N022)


2. Approval of record of seventh meeting (document N020)

The record was approved.


3.  Review of the status of action items

Action 5.2. Sally Fuger: input on metadata from ebXML Registry.
Deferred in Sally's absence


4.	Inter-op Summit Conference

Karl would chair this Conference on the first day, Thursday, and would
present the current background and status of the StdsReg Committee.
Bob would present the proposed meta-data specification in its current
form.

The initial presentation of the idea to the first Summit Conference
had been welcomed, so no doubt additional interest would be generated
by the update. There might be some value in a discussion of the
suggested public validation process, and also in terms of presenting
possible scenarios for the eventual end-use of the final
specification.  Such scenarios might include the use of the meta-data
within an SDO, and its use within a development company (e.g. a
software vendor) requiring information on what existed in standardized
form.


5.	Approval process, incl. possible public review period
	Promoting implementation of the spec upon completion

Bob requested postponement of this agenda item until the next meeting,
as he had to leave the call.  This was agreed.


6.  Version 2.5 of meta-data specification (N021)

This had been provided quickly by Bob after the previous meeting.  Bob
noted that Martin Bryan had provided some helpful comments by e-mail,
especially regarding implementation.

The issue of languages - separate records for individual language
versions, with meta-data in that language.  This left the question of
what happened where there was one single standards document itself
containing multiple languages.  Makx felt that there was no problem
about indicating the languages of such a standard in the meta-data,
but the meta-data itself ought in theory to be in a single language.
However, this might be politically unacceptable for certain SDOs.

Concerning cross-referrals between standards, it was noted that
version 2.5 contained two  such reference issues - what a standard
points to ("normative references") and "obsolete standards".  However,
the meeting noted that there seemed to be other variants on this
reference issue, such as national endorsements.  Em also noted that in
some cases, standards were associated with regulatory or other
measures (eg containing product marking).  The meeting therefore
agreed to add a suitable section.  It was noted that the wording
"normative references from" should be corrected to "normative
references to".

Martin had also asked how to specify references to standards in cases
where one standard had multiple designations from different
organizations, eg ISO 123, BS-ISO 123.  This needed some further
consideration.  However, we also needed in a wider sense to consider
how standards registries should interact in connection with the
meta-data.

It was noted that a "date of most recent change" for the meta-data
itself might be a useful addition.

Bob and Em had to leave the meeting at that point.  Makx agreed to
circulate some additional comments on the exploder.


7. Any other business

None


8.  Next meeting

This was agreed for July 9 at the usual time (noon ET).  CEN/ISSS
would host the call.
