Manhattan face-to-face input by GKH

  • 1.  Manhattan face-to-face input by GKH

    Posted 05-07-2007 03:38
    Hi folks,
    
    I've taken the latest proposed agenda for our Manhattan face-to-face, 
    listed the items below where I have some input, and annotated each 
    one with some of the questions and the detail that I'll be bringing 
    to the meeting.
    
    By bringing these points forward now, I hope that others who have 
    input or can use my input can better prepare for discussions at the meeting.
    
    . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ken
    
    Status report - SBSC:
      - http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=23888
      - discussion re: customization or re-use NES?
    
    Status report - HISC:
      - http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=23889
      - need resources
    
    Additional Code list resources
      - code list support files
        - http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=23531
        - add in actual code lists or keep actual lists separate?
        - any revisions for genericode 1.0?
      - discussion of data entry
        - http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200704/msg00025.html
        - add as informative annex to methodology?
      - latest methodology
        - http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=23703
        - does anything need to be changed?
        - relationship with genericode 1.0
        - should CLRTC take ownership of the validation methodology?
      - case study for CIQ
        - http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=23711
        - tutorial steps for a committee to follow to deploy two-pass validation
    
    Code list validation and revision policy
      - how do we manage updates to sets of codes?
        - methodology distinguishes the delta as a separate list 
    augmenting the base
      - updates to code item-level meta data (multi-lingual entries)
        - changing item-level meta data doesn't change validation but can improve
          on data entry and other management issues
      - when does a code list version change?
        - only when the set of codes changes?
        - when anything (including meta data) changes?
      - code lists should be republished in genericode 1.0 when genericode 1.0 is
        finalized
    
    Customization paper, including a discussion of conformance
      - I have input for consideration
        - chapter 3 and supported by the other chapters in:
          http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=23654
      - what about structured address vs. unstructured address and the 
    choice that can be made by a customization?
      - customization spreadsheets for subset specification:
          http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=21034
    
    Schematron business rules as part of supporting materials
      - code list methodology supports modular patterns to be 
    incorporated into a single second pass for validation
    
    Publication of "Approved Errata" (see OASIS TC process)
      - doesn't appear to address artefacts, only specification text
        - e.g. how is a repaired code list file distinguished from the original?
      - unless, perhaps, we just re-issue the entire os-UBL-2.0 at the same
        address as the original but with the repaired specification and
        artefacts?
    
    Minor revision mechanics (draft expected from GKH)
      - chapter 9 and supported by the other chapters in:
        http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=23654
    
    Minor revision notification/forecasting policy
      - collection policy
        - how do we know what people want to see in a minor version?
      - addressing policy
        - how do we deliberate on the requests for additions?
        - how do we assess appropriateness of particular additions?
          - should a request be relegated only to the extension point?
        - how do we measure urgency of particular additions?
      - release policy
        - how often do we prepare a minor release?
