    Subject: [clsc] Minutes of Nov 26, 2003 and agenda for Dec 3, 2003


    In attendance were only Tony Coates, Arofan Gregory, Anne Hendry and G. Ken 
    Holman.  In the absence of more members, the agenda was abandoned and a 
    more general discussion of business requirements and technical ideas.
    
    Arofan has been reviewing the technical submissions and has been 
    identifying common threads of technical requirements, both from an 
    implementation perspective and from a deployment perspective.  He 
    summarized these as "needing to bind an external validation expression into 
    the UBL environment while accommodating sets of defaults and private-use 
    facilities".  He postponed a review of the models until more subcommittee 
    members could be present, and all expressed hope that next week would bring 
    out a larger attendance.
    
    Tony brought up the need for a "clean break between the code list data 
    model and any technological expression of that model".  Is it possible to 
    come up with an XML method for expressing the semantics of a code list and 
    then produce any schema expression, data base, or application expression of 
    that code list?  Tony believes (and brought out agreement from those 
    present) that this is the right way to proceed.  There are many aspects of 
    code lists not yet addressed: life cycle, scope of use, deprecation, etc. 
    that while they may not be formally addressed in UBL 1.0 because they are 
    not yet needed in UBL 1.0, the framework would be in the data model for 
    code lists that these aspects could be added.  Thus, "making it able to 
    work with other groups in a bigger world thatn just what UBL is concerned 
    with".
    
    Tony was thanked for expressing this perspective and was asked to write up 
    his ideas for all members of the subcommittee to review.
    
    The next meeting of CLSC will be Wednesday December 3, 10:30PST, 13:30EST, 
    18:30UTC.  Same bat time, same bat channel:
