Simple Codebook Meeting Minutes
November 23, 2014

Present: Dan Gillman, Steve McEachern, Mary Vardigan

Meeting Times

The current time is midnight for Canberra, so we need to find another meeting time. 2pm EST U.S. time is the preferred time for the new year.

DDI 3.2 vs. 4

We are thinking in terms of forward compatibility so that everything in 3.* is covered in 4. This is not the best approach. Rather, we should solve the problem we want to solve and then worry about how to map it after we have solved it.

Framing happens unconsciously -- the circumstances of how you think about a problem constrains the way you are conceiving it.

Still it’s worth having a look at what we have right now to see what the overlap is.

By sticking with the nicely defined distinction between logical and physical we can be more precise going forward.

There is not too much not actually covered in 4 but it is going to be reorganized.

Next Steps

Steve will compare the spreadsheet to Data Description in 4 to determine how they map and overlap.
