[sc34wg3] Proposed Agenda for Reference Model Workshop

[Patrick Durusau]

Greetings!

Hurriedly as I am finishing packing for the trip to Montreal:

Suggest (subject to item #1) the following agenda for the reference 
model workshop:

Saturday:

9:00 AM

1. Approval of agenda

2. Presentation of proposed models (dividing the time remaining until 
noon equally between the proposals, Newcomb/Durusau, Garshol, Barta, Dmitry)

My thinking here is that each presentation should focus on the model 
being presented.

Noon-1:30 PM Lunch

1:30 - 5 PM

3. Discussion of reference model requirements

My thinking here is that the prior discussion of the various proposals 
will give us a framework within which to discuss actual requirements, as 
opposed to discussing them completely in the abstract.

Sunday:

9:00 AM - Noon

Comparison of the results of the requirements discussion to the various 
models, lead serially by the proponents of the various models.

Noon-1:30 PM Lunch

1:30 PM - 3:00 PM

Formulation of next steps towards a reference model (One of the things 
we have been lacking as the result of prior meetings is some specific 
steps that will take us to the next stage.)

3:00 - 5:00 PM

Presentation of the OMG model for the TMDM

My thinking here is that it will give us something to look forward to as 
the end of the meeting and allow us to conclude on a high note. While 
Lars and I disagree on some fundamental issues, be aware that I do think 
the TMDM is important and my disagreements are about its place in the 
topic maps paradigm and not disagreement about the importance of data 
models.

Will be offline the rest of the day traveling.

Should be able to pick up discussion in the AM tomorrow (Montreal time).

Hope everyone is at the start of a great day!

Patrick
