Objectives this meeting:

Ballot resolution: Achieve maximum consensus Review of comments received Turn “no’s” to YES, maintaining all YES

Finalize WD for submission to SEC & IEEE LOM Balloting Group

Schedule & preparation for IEEE balloting Standards documentation style, guidelines, and

plan to proceed with transition to draft standard

Agenda

LOM WD4 ballot resolution overview. Multiple project proposal as way to resolve multiple ballot issues. Schedule for remaining work, draft standard,etc. Update of draft standard process. Interoperability presentation

Overview & Status update:Critical to stay on schedule and complete! Glossary harmonization completedv4 Approved as New Working Draft

28 qualified voters 3 abstained 8 Non response (new rules discount these)

= 20 total participating in voting (71%) 17 YES (= 100 % or unanimous approval of WD4) 2nd question, Vote for forwarding WD4 to SEC was 9 Yes, 8 No, 1

Abstain, however there were 8 no responses so using the policy in effect at the time, counting non responses as NO votes, this is considered to be 9/25 vote and hence defeated.

HOWEVER, the objective is maximum consensus! Thus working on further ballot resolution before submitting to

SEC

Outstanding issues:

PAR not being met Insufficient conformance statements

Review from Ballotting:

V4.1 updated with resolved issues Summary of remaining issues

PROPOSAL #1:

Divide the current LOM PAR into a series of individual Projects (PARs)

For example only, this might result in:  P1484.12.1     LOM Data Schema P1484.12.2x    set of LOM instance bindings

(eg: 11404, XML DTD, SQL - DDL) P1484.12.3y    LOM Protocol and API 

(eg:  Querey protocol)

Rationale:

Standardize the smallest useful, doable, LOM specification that has technical feasibility, commercial viability and widespread adoption. Resolve a large number of ballot concerns raised. Make more progress sooner Flexible model useful in future Improved specification and standard

Proposal #2:

Submit a PAR for the P1484.12.1 LOM Data Schema.

Technical Editor: Erik Duval

Proposal #3:

Submit one or more PAR for P1484.12.1 LOM binding standards.

XML DTD ISO 11404 SQL – DDL ????

Nominate a Technical Editor & champion for each PAR

Proposal #4:

Submit one or more PAR for P1484.12.1 LOM API & Protocol standards.

Query Store ????

Nominate a Technical Editor & champion for each PAR

Interoperability:

Presentation by Frank Farance

Next Steps:

Form new PAR groups Develop & submit PARs for approval Continue to resolve ballot issues Ballot new WD5Submit final Working Drafts to SEC and IEEE LOM Balloting Group process

Thank You!!
