If multiple hits occur within one resource, and endpoint must serialize each hit as an individual record. Endpoints are expected to do this on best effort basis. * '''Action''': separate Data Views from Core-Spec; add them in an appendix, if a "one document" spec is compiled. Generic Hits however will also stay in Core-Spec, because it's the lowest common denominator. * '''Action''': change wording to indicate, that `` element is optional, but make clear that Endpoint should use it * '''Action''': change wording to indicate,that an Endpoint MUST support Endpoint Description in ''explain'' * '''Action''': change element names `` to ``; that's more coherent with the other parts of the spec. * '''Decision''': drop recursive ``; Endpoint Description (and/or CMDI Data Views) can be used to exploit Resource hierarchy * '''Decision''': submit new FCS spec to SCCTC for their April meeting; we need to be done with out work by end of March. * '''Decision''': incorporate discussed changes ASAP and start new (mail) discussion round * '''Decision''': Transition to new spec: build second Aggregator, that supports new spec; set deadline for centers with "old Endpoints" to adopt to the spec until 2014-10-31; the old Aggregator will be disabled in November; Tübingen will ensure, that they have a person to work on the Aggegator after May 2014. == Documents == * [[FCS-Specification-ScrapBook|FCS specification draft]]
