== Meeting notes ==


   * Toolkit (Menzo)
      * Some restructuring of the [https://trac.clarin.eu/browser/metadata/trunk/toolkit?order=name tookit project] has been done for CMDI 1.2
      * Work has been done on the schemas and XSLTs
      * Testing
         * components & records
         * There is no complete test set yet (input needed)
      * 'Upgrade' part of toolkit
         * component upgrading done
         * currently working on CMDI record upgrade ('''update:''' done)
      * Planning
         * more tests, specifically invalid cases
         * test harness: maven(-like) project with CMDI validator for testing
      * Some issues found in cmdi 1.2 proposal while working on the toolkit
         * renaming, aligning of attributes
         * display priority
         * more cleanup (e.g. consistent usage of upper/lower case)

   * Specification document structure (Twan)
    * See below for a proposal
     * Some small changes compared to current structure
     * No one opposes

   * Work on specification document (Thorsten)
      * ISO document in the process 
      * Some questions
         * Changes in cmdi 1.2 w.r.t. resource relations
            * who can help?
               * reviewing draft
               * Jens volunteers
         * Discussion in ISO group about using XML in document standards
            * Distinction between structure and markup 
      * Will work on spec one day this week
      * Menzo: there can be some divergence between the ISO document and CLARIN document (but try to harmonise)
         * Thorsten: CLARIN spec should be a valid instantiation of ISO document
      * Menzo: people can review changes. People who worked on CMDI 1.2 proposal specifically

   * Planning
      * Completion toolkit ('''Menzo''', '''Oliver''')
      * Work on specification - based toolkit and CMDI 1.2 proposal ('''Thorsten''')
      * CMDI 1.2 task force members review ISO document ('''Jens''', ...)
      * Find testers, primarily from task force (coordinators)


  * Discussion
   * Menzo: wiki page is copy of ISO document. Will Thorsten work on Wiki? Will there be a split at some point?
      * Thorsten suggests to keep documents the same as long as possible
         * Insert notes which are (not) relevant for ISO 
         * Thorsten: How far are we actually with CMDI 1.2? Split only when it's done.
            * Menzo: what is 'done'? :) Proposal is done & accepted, toolkit is first implementation step
            * First CMDI 1.2 specification, ISO should be distilled from this
            * Thorsten: not sure if no XML can be contained in the ISO document (for the sake of being specific)
   * Conclusion: start with most specific specification, distill more generic specification as needed
    * Menzo: at some point the XML spec should be frozen (after toolkit has been thoroughly tested)
