    UML Diagam
    Cyril:
    I finished UML diagram of the language agnostic policy model, here is current work:
    [ shared UML diagram ]

    Steven:
    Are there tools for the translation to the specific languges.

    Cyril:
    Open Souce tools to gen/mod UML model. It is stored as XML and there may be tools
    (using XSLT, etc.) but I am still studying that, but it makes the logical translation
    to specific language schemes possible. Manual vs automated is to be determined.

    [ discussion on nuances of representation and expression in UML]

    Simplify Combiner Parameters Issue #14
    Steven:
    Looking for feedback on my proposal to streamline this construct that removes the
    combining wrappers.
    [ reviewed proposal ]
    [ walked through example in the Issue ]

    Steven:
    This makes everything simpler and, while a bit, quirky removes functionality that
    doesn't seem to used.

    [ discussion on options on how to address this ]

    Steven:
    I will post some options on GitHub for discussion

    Machine based schema translation
    Jim discussed a variety of tools, standards and frameworks that may have bearing on the
    v4 work with the team.

    meeting adjourned.
