UBL LCSC Minutes

Wednesday - 15 January 2003

Attendees: Bill Meadows, PeterYim , Anne Hendry, Sue Probert, Tim McGrath, Lisa Seaburg, Marion Royal, Jon Bosak, Bill Burcham;

Proceedings:

- Tim: concluded best way is to hand craft some of the last changes.

- Lisa: this morning's NDR meeting concluded that the schema is not reflecting the Global/Local NDR rule; Gunther is going to regenerate the schema; Bill Burcham will assess the impact -- turns out the impact should be small to miniscure.

- Worries about different versions of the spreadsheet now:

* Gunther was running the next to latest spreadsheet

* JonB: Tim probably should run Gunther's latest script and then hand-craft in the final changes

- new issue: on synonyms (when same name is used in object class and property term, as in "PaymentTerms") - Tim: we might just recognize the issue on our issues list, and fix it later

- complex type reuse: we'll tackle on the next release

- Another issue: "UR-language" extension -- Lisa/BillB/JonB: we'll cover that with a release note (from NDR).

- JonB: Tim McGrath will take ownership (one point of control) of the final release package from here on.

- JonB will also have some people as a schema validation team (to check it with different parsers besides XML spy, for example). JonB will send the names of these people to Tim, and provide this as an extra resource whom Tim can work with directly.

- Tim: need to kep Ken Holman in the loop, he probably don't realize that this is still a moving target. JonB: I'll include Ken as part of the validation team (he doesn't know it yet); Bill Burcham will also be on the validation team.

- JonB: requests that Tim generates an instance (with XMLspy) for use by KenH. (JonB suggests that he can even send Ken an XMLspy license so that Tim can ask KenH to do it himself.)

- Target: xsd/spreadsheet go out in 12 hours for validation team above plus with narratives/NDR comments, bundled, within next 24 hours

* QA reviews that bundle

* soft release Sat 1/18/03

* rescheduling lcsc call next week to Mon (instead of Tue) - this will be the hard launch/closure meeting hard release Mon 1/20/03

- JonB will circulate the announcement of the release 1/20/03

- will have a conference call again tomorrow, same time, same numbers to call.
