4. Update on Conference call with NISO - One Standard Part A and B - Approval of the Distribution Working Group - Timeline for Approval

Minutes: Action for George to check on the number and name of the standard. George reported on the conference call. NISO recommends a single standard Part A for the Authoring and Interchange, and Part B for the Distribution. The parts would be voted upon at the same time, so the Authoring and Interchange would be in the Draft Standard for Trial use from November 2009 until the standard is voted upon. Distribution part is expected to be out as a Draft Standard for Trial Use in May 2010. Final voting and completion is expected in November 2010.

4. Requirements and User Stories we are lacking

- Zed AI


Zed Dist


Minutes: Nothing on AI. Markus lead the discussion. We must have a complete set of goals. The video and interactivity must identify what we want to achieve. We have contacted some people for emergency preparedness, Sign language, and some with video. In video the general education context is most confusing; we don't have good connections there.

Who can we get to the table to define the usage patterns and requirements. James discuss this in terms of completely new product development. We also need to support the republishing sceinario. Boris noted the NIMAS side asking for interactivity, but this is on the AI side.

Action: George to contact APH about workbooks. Action for George to contact Mats and Rob about what their view of interactivity is. Action for George to contact ETS about their needs for interactivity. Action for George to contact WGBH. Action for George to contact the AAP and IPA about video in publishing. George to contact Suzanne Taylor about both interactivity and video.


5. Face-to-face Discussion

Minutes: The Distribution will be slow over the Summer and Dist will need to meet in the Fall. ZedAI could benefit by one, but it is not critical. Action for George to start by checking with Microsoft for hosting in late August early September. Action for Markus will check with the distribution group for their availability.

Boris and John Gardner would want to attend, even though not on the Dist group.


6. Any other business.

Minutes: None
