MINUTES OF ATLANTIC UBL TC MEETING WEDNESDAY 12 DECEMBER 2007 ATTENDANCE Jon Bosak (chair) Mavis Cournane Mike Grimley Andy Schoka Larry Tanner Sylvia Webb STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar: http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm None (but see correction to April meeting venue below). Review of Pacific call (except items noted below) No substantive comments. SUPPORT PAGE SUBMISSION See Pacific minutes under "Support Page Submission." AGREED to add the new item. ISO PUBLIC SUBJECT IDENTIFIERS See Pacific minutes under "Other Business." AGREED to the proposal from GKH. [For those seeking further explanation, see http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/880/psdoc_04.htm In particular, note that the description in the Pacific minutes conflated two different meanings for "PSI." From the document referenced above: A topic map author can indicate what is the subject of a topic by referring to a document, or any other kind of resource, where the subject appears to be defined in a proper and non-ambiguous way. Such a resource will therefore be considered by the topic map author as a subject indicator. Provided with this resource, an human being will be able, hopefully, to know what subject this topic represents. * A subject indicator is a resource that is referred to by the topic map author to provide an unambiguous indication of the identity of a subject. Any resource can become a subject indicator by being referred to as such from within some topic map, whether or not it was intended by its publisher to be a subject indicator. Since topic maps live in the Web universe, the subject indicator has to be an addressable (network-retrievable) resource. The reference to the subject indicator will therefore use some URI, which will both address the subject indicator and identify the subject. Computers applications will of course be happy to handle this subject identifier, since two topics with the same subject identifier clearly refer to the same subject indicator, and therefore represent the same subject. * A subject identifier is an URI used by a topic map author to identify and refer to a subject indicator.] 2008 TC WORK SCHEDULE Revised spreadsheets now available: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200712/msg00000.html JB: Unless something unexpected happens, this is our work schedule for the next year. 2008 TC MEETING SCHEDULE See Pacific minutes. JB: I have just been reminded that the proposed venue for the April 2008 UBL TC meeting changed from Rome to Bologna some time ago. This meeting has not yet been formally adopted, but the chance of other details changing at this point is quite small. TC CONCALL SCHEDULE See Pacific minutes (no change).
