    Discussion
    ----------
    Database:
    The TC unanimously accepted the database proposal to be included into 
    the next draft of the OpenDocuemnt specification
    http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/download.php/14336/05-06-03-proposal00050
    
    Metadata:
    Discussion on the concept of using IDREF in order to reference custom 
    metadata from OpenDocument metadata
    http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/email/archives/200509/msg00012.html
    
    (Florian:) From the way known parsers handle IDREF, it's use wouldn't be 
    backwards compatible. Furthermore, XSD and RelaxNG are supporting ID's 
    only on a 'type-level', so the concepts used in a DTD aware parser 
    wouldn't hold there.
    
    In order to interoperate with the RDF world, it might thus be the best 
    route, to just define a mapping from OpenDocument meta-data to an RDF 
    graph. That graph could be extended, by includoging futher RDF 
    statements (in RDF ML syntax) in the meta.xml stream.
    
    (Duane:) This would be quite in line with what's being done in other 
    sematic web initiatives (e.g. ISO JTC 1 / SC 32's metadata WG)
    
    (Lars:) sould a mapping just translate the statements that OpenDocument 
    metadata is making into RDF, or should it be possible, to not only add 
    RDF to those statements, but also be possible, to make further 
    statements about objects from the OpenDocument meta data? (post examples)
    
    Discussion on metadata to continue next week...
    
    (Michael:) should we create a public mailing-list for users of 
    OpenDocument? (check with OASIS)
    
    New Action Items
    ----------------
    Michael: check OASIS mailing list possibilities for a public 
    OpenDocument list
    
    Next conference call
