Description
Here are the minutes for the October 11th, 2011 meeting of the Emergency Management Infrastructure Framework Subcommittee. A this meeting, the members discussed the following topics:
1. TOPIC: Do we need a content object id and reference to link content objects? (Answer: No. The xlink attributes were added to the DE 2.0 draft schema several months back to handle linking of content objects in a more standardized and flexible manner.)
2. TOPIC: Are there any substantive changes remaining for the DE 2.0? (Answer: No. The changes now being made are cleanup of the specification text and data dictionary components to ensure readability, accuracy and compliance with the schema.)
3. TOPIC: Are we ready to proceed with a recommendation to the EM TC that the current draft of the DE 2.0 specification, with any remaining cleanup changes, proceed to committee specification draft and public review? (Answer: Yes. A motion was passed. “We approve the EDXL DE 2.0 draft WD03 to the TC for approval, with specified changes making it WD04, and move forward for a committee specification draft status and public review”.)
