1. Status of 3rd review:
>Kristen: Reviewers, please update statuses.
2. Opening of review for the "Subject scheme map" topic: SubjectSchemeMap3: Wiki page
>Kristen noted guidelines for reviewers. Kristen will send out an email announcing formal update of this
>review. JoAnn: reviewers, please add substantive, researched text if at all possible. Kris suggested
>designating EH and RDA as primary reviewers. JoAnn felt Taxonomy should be in another topic, Kristen noted
>they'll look at recommendations for that. JoAnn asked if a relationship table should be in a subject scheme
>map.
>[Action: Kristen will add links to review page for the subject scheme topic for the proposed email to the
>list.]
>Robert volunteered to review, and will involve Erik as necessary. Bruce Nevin volunteered
3. Issue identified in review #3: Redundant topics
>Gershon led this portion of discussion. Note the author's table--now the current focus of activity. Authors,
>please send dates of completion to Gershon and Kristen.
>Kristen: MP noted that the introduction sections overlap other conceptual topics in other parts of the spec.
>She will send revision suggestions to the list.
>Gershon walked through the rest of the table to clarify actions with authors.
>Gershon requested someone to take on the Base DITA Processing items particularly. He will own the full
>section (135+ comments to date).
> Eliot to let Gershon and Kristen know if reorganization of his section is needed yet. Will coordinate with
> Jeff, MP as necessary.
> Robert reported that John Hunt in on progress for all inputs this week. Robert also on goal for this week.
>[Action: Gershon to send an email to John Hunt to confirm when he will be able to complete those inputs.]
> Discussion of Conformance section. Sue-Laine asked for clarification of the goals. Dana asked about Must
> requirements; Eliot: issue is processor requirements vs coding (data) requirements (conventions for human
> understanding as well as machine interoperability). Eliot: element matching vs class matching impacts
> guaranteed conformance, for example. Where the spec says Must, applications must conform. Dana requests that
> interoperability notions be spelled out as specifically as possible. Kristen: how to move forward? Sue-Laine:
> more eyes on it to ensure it is meeting needs (KE will volunteer; SY will ask her partners to look as well).
>[Action: Sue-Laine to contact Eliot for clarifications.]
> Eliot suggested that it can be abbreviated while still making some strong assertions about compliant DITA
> expectations. Jeff requested release from ownership of where the rewrite may go. Kristen recognized Jeff's
> contributions to this conformance statement thus far for the record.
>Appendices: no current owner. Eliot will be responsible for interop and 1.1 to 1.2 migration guide. Robert
>has updated the element by element topic--it is done for 1.2.
>Gershon and Kristen will send new dates after taking inputs this week.
