There were no comments on these.

4.  Reports of standing committees

4.1.  Code list task group deliverables

No change in the list of deliverables.

4.2.  NDR rules related to code lists

Who will volunteer to write up and take the decisions of this group for NDR? At one point I thought Lisa was prepared to do this.

  • is the current NDR code list rules document being used?

  • is the adjunct file the only thing being added?

  • Lisa to contact Ken, but difficulty with time to do this

4.3.  FPSC guidelines related to code list member supplemental information

Who will volunteer to write up and take the decisions of this group for FPSC? At one point I thought Dan was prepared to do this.

  • Dan not present to respond

4.4.  Code list catalogue

Anne has very kindly offered to maintain this catalogue. It will be delivered to LCSC as a roadmap to implementation of the decisions made by the code list task group.

  • it will be delivered to LCSC as a roadmap to implementation of the decisions made by the code list task group.

5.  Outstanding action items

20030814-Action1 - Tony - supplemental file approach summary

  • summarize the approach and justification of capturing supplemental information in an adjunct file separate from the W3C Schema expression used for validation

  • http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-lcsc/200308/msg00028.html

  • discussion on the role of the adjunct file

  • noted that a copy of the unique values is in both the schema fragment (for validation purposes) and the adjunct file (for indexing purposes to adjunct information)

20030814-Action2 - Gunther - namespace-based approach summary

  • summarizes an approach and justification of using a namespace-based scheme for capturing information about a code list, rather than using attributes in a UBL instance

  • http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-lcsc/200308/msg00055.html

  • due to confusion from Montréal, this was mistakenly taken to the code list group and it was decided this is an issue for NDR only

6.  Agenda items

20030828-Agenda2 - supplemental non-validation information

  • a technical discussion on issues of maintaining supplemental information useful for presentation and other non-validation-oriented purposes

  • disposition:

    • deferred

7.  Action items

A review of all action items both from before the meeting and established during the meeting.

No explicit action items, but still trying to have everything complete by this week's meeting for acceptance by all.

8.  Other business

Discussion on adjunct files dependencies.

Discussion and review of code list definition types of "standard", "placebo", "stock" and "private-use".

Discussion of XML catalog - http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/spec-2001-08-06.html - and various invocation methods.

9.  Future meetings

The next teleconference will be September 11, 2003. The hope is to come to consensus on our submissions at that meeting.

10.  Acknowledgements
