Minutes
Briefings
The invitation to the IFLA LBS cataloguing steering committee has gone out. Matt has offered to lead the group. The target deliverable is a first draft of a metadata set for ZedAI by February 2009.
W3C TPAC has concluded. The XHTML2 WG meeting minutes indicate that they are targeting a LC by January 2009. This is good news for us, but Kennys and Markus action items to talk further to WG members remain.
Action Item review
NewsML and the Periodicals Profile
Kenny noted that he had sent a clarification email on Vision Australias use of NewsML. The action item to describe NewsML schemas and modularization options remain. Since the NewsML schema seems to be monolithic and is relatively weak in terms of describing actual content, it appears that a more effective option for us when composing the periodicals profile may be to create our own module for periodicals, and use the RDF/Role framework to create formal mappings "back" to the NewsML (and NITF) grammars.
It was concluded that a theme for iteration 2 should be to start working concretely on the periodicals profile.
Subgroup report: RDF/Role
Marisa and Boris presented their RDF/Role report, available as a separate document at ZedAI_Roles_Report20081026. Notes from the telcon specific to this report are available at the end of the document.
In this report, major focus is on behavioral descriptions, as opposed to atomic semantics/inheritance. A theme for iteration 2 is to deal with semantics/inheritance explicitly (and this can be done through the NewsML/NITF mappings).
Iteration 1 report
Due to lack of telcon time, it was decided that Markus writes a draft report and gets it to the group by wednesday this week.
The WG concluded that the general feeling is that we are on the right track, and can safely recommend to continue down this path for iteration 2.
