20030911-Agenda1 - the meeting was primarily a presentation by Ken of the proposed deliverable of the task group:

  • http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/3477/code-proposal-20030911.html

  • http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/3476/code-proposal-20030911.zip

  • a number of editorial changes for the next edition of the deliverables were noted

  • Gunther raised a substantive technical issue regarding namespaces

    • he will take the next edition of our report and frame an NDR response to our report summarizing his concerns

    • an initial discussion regarding namespace prefixes will take place first before putting too much effort into the changes

  • the question arose "why not have stock definitions for all placebo definitions"

    • left to LCSC to decide on this

  • Jon raised a substantive technical issue regarding defaulted attributes in the PSVI

    • this is the first part of UBL to have considered the use of defaulted attributes

    • for consistency with RELAX-NG and a widely-held opinion in the XML community that validation processes should not be responsible for supplementing the information set of XML instances, it was decided to remove the default attributes

    • Ken will document in the report the impact of this decision

  • Tony raised a concern shared by others that the examples in the report should not utilize MSDOS for fear of biasing the impression to the reader

    • if time permits, Ken may create an ANT task http://ant.apache.org/ to mimic the tests, however given the localized distribution of this report only within UBL subcommittees the priority of doing so was dropped significantly

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:

    • addressed in discussion and results to be documented in next edition of proposal

7.  Action items

Ken will make the editorial changes and publish a revised proposed report of the code list task group as soon as possible. People with comments for changes to the report will be given a limited time to make these known. Formal responses from other subcommittees will present their interpretation of and action plans considering the results of the code list task group, but the code list task group recommendations themselves are not expected to change substantively from the next edition.

8.  Future meetings

There are no future meetings of the code list task group planned. Follow-up on this report is expected to take place in the LCSC mail list and any subcommittee meetings in which the topic of code lists might be raised.

9.  Acknowledgements

Various members of the group were acknowledged for their efforts, in particular Anne, Steve and Ken.

10.  Adjournment

The meeting lasted one hour and forty minutes.
