Ray posted a version of Part 2 on the WG2 website.

Recommendation to work with TC37. Make terminological entry conformant to ISO 16642.
Recommendation: take admin attributes out of clause 5 table of attributes.
Discussed comments from WG2 meeting in Santa Fe.
Recommend: Editors should pursue the issue discussed today.
iii) Part 3 – Registry Metamodel and Basic Attributes (D. Mann)
As of today, it is now freely available on www.jtc1.org.
Request for changes: need to write up proposed changes. Ray has a form to do this.
Discussion of version 3 included: problem of double administration records, missing definitions, etc. Most will go into rev. 3.
Recommendation: Terminological entry needs work to be in harmony with TC 37 for next revision.
iv) Part 4 – Definitions (B. Bargmeyer)
FCD ballot closes in April 13.
Recommendation: Vote on FCD ballot by April 13.
Bruce: focused on DE def. Someone else is welcome to expand. FCD not place to introduce vast changes.
Franks comments: thrust of def’s entirely different, part 4 should have complete overhaul. Committee not enthused. Much confusion about what Frank wants.
v) Part 5 – Naming and Identification (J. Newton)
Begin issue of CD version. Need comments. Closes on June 8
Bruce’s comments: if we don’t raise issues of XML namespaces, go with what Judy has. Judy is writing a white paper for NIST and it will focus on how to specify DE id in xml along with DE. Sec 7.3 separators moved to syntax? Clause 8: no added value. Judy will work clause 8 into 7. Bruce will send his comments to be included in ballot.
Recommendation: Committee members should read and send comments to Teresa who will coordinate comments.
vi) Part 6 – Registration (L. Fitzwater)
CD version closes on June 8.
Strawman def.s for some statuses. Tim had suggestion for status. Frank has sent comments: needs another annex for explaining long binary unique id’s; need whole set of statuses for standards development.
