was approved.<br>
<br>
4. Review of work<br>
<br>
A review of the current projects and editorships revealed that the
following projects are pending in WG 3 (No final decisions were
taken but the consensus of those present on disposition is noted
below):<br>
<br>
13250-1 (TR) Information Technology -- Topic Maps -- Part 1:
Overview and basic concepts - This should be completed, resources
permitting.<br>
<br>
13250-3 (2nd ed) Information Technology -- Topic Maps -- Part 3: XML
syntax - It isn't clear what outstanding work is required. Patrick
Durusau will contact the Secretariat to verify. If work is needed,
it will be completed.<br>
<br>
13250-5 Information Technology -- Topic Maps -- Part 5: Reference
Model. This should be completed by removing the TMDM-> TMRM
mapping and any other required edits. <br>
<br>
13250-7 Information Technology -- Topic Maps -- Part 7: Graphical
Notation - This project is now 6 years old without a significant
draft. It should either be allowed to be deleted by ISO or
terminated by motion of WG 3. <br>
<br>
18048 Information Technology -- Topic Maps -- Query Language (TMQL)
This project is now 10 years old without a draft that has common
support. The current editors are burdened by other duties and won't
be able to meet the current deadlines. Project should either be
terminated by ISO or motion in WG 3. We can return to this work in
the future should a proposal with broad support and substantial
completion arise.<br>
<br>
29111 (TR) Information Technology -- Topic Maps -- Expressing Dublin
Core Metadata using Topic Maps This project is 5 years old and there
isn't a draft with substantial support nor are there resources to
complete the project at this time. It should be allowed to deleted
by ISO or terminated by motion of WG 3. <br>
<br>
It is with regret that several projects will be terminated by ISO or
on motion of WG 3, but further delay, particularly with few
resources, does not reflect well on WG 3. <br>
<br>
5. Additions to WG 3 work<br>
<br>
One potential new work item, because it is already substantially
completed, would be the SD Share project, which failed most likely
because of confusion about the meaning of "support" in the ballot.
Members of WG 3 are going to evaluate their resources for another
attempt at this project, a subject discussion at of our next
meeting.<br>
<br>
One possible work item would be for WG 3 members to create listings
of "tips" or what they have learned about information management,
final deliverable to be determined.<br>
<br>
Another potential work item would be the production of yearly
reports on the state of information integration. <br>
<br>
And/or a yearly report that had particularly significant insights
into integration generally or datasets in particular. <br>
<br>
One recurrent theme was that WG 3 needs a new vision of where
integration can/should be in five years and then use that to shape
new reports and projects. <br>
<br>
Without deciding on any particular form or content, it was agreed
that all the participants present (and anyone else who cares to
contribute), should produce a written statement about the future of
integration in 3 to 5 years or other work products they would like
to see from WG 3. <br>
<br>
Those present did decide that such statements shall be posted to the
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:sc34wg3@isotopicmaps.org">sc34wg3@isotopicmaps.org</a>
mailing list no later than 28 Oct. 2011.<br>
<br>
The next teleconference of WG 3 will be held at 11 AM GMT/UTC on 4
November 2011, with the following agenda:<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li>Opening of the meeting (11:00 UTC)</li>
<li>Roll call of participants</li>
<li>Adoption of agenda (this document)</li>
<li>Report of convener on 13250-3 and required work (if any)</li>
<li>Report of convener on 13250-1 (TR) and 13250-5 (just to keep
it near the hottest burner)<br>
</li>
<li>Vision/Work Product statements for WG 3 (discussion)</li>
<li>Any other business</li>
<li>Resolutions (appreciation to ISO for the conference service,
etc.)<br>
</li>
<li>Adjournment (13:30 UTC or earlier)</li>
</ol>
<br>
There being no further business, the meeting of WG 3 was adjourned
at 13:30 PM UTC. <br>
