[sc34wg3] TMRM: Issue 1 for Seoul

[Patrick Durusau]

Greetings,

There are several issues that the editors would like to bring to the 
attention of WG3 for discussion in Seoul. This is the first of those 
issues.

1. Should the TMDM Mapping (Annex B of the current CD draft) be moved to 
a balloted TR or some other commitee approved document?

This mapping was prepared at the request of the committee. While the 
editors agree that it is a useful exercise, they have come to question 
its inclusion in the TMRM proper.

While the TMDM is the only extant data model in ISO 13250 at present, it 
is conceded even within the text of the TMDM that other models for 
merging, properties, etc. are possible and even expected. When such 
other data models appear, it would be good to have a precedent for 
recording committee approved mappings of those data models, if the 
committee has such an interest.

Further, the mapping does not add anything to the exposition of the TMRM.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
