Description: To develop a robust model that can describe all aspects of simple, rectangular data file in our domain. The model must include bridges from the physical representation of a rectangular data file to high-level conceptual objects in the model.

Dependencies: Required for complex data description

The Data Description View Team began working on the structure of a simple data description to cover archival data storage formats and to provide an extension base for describe more complex data description (i.e. data bases). This page captures the work of this group as it moves from the design of a simple data description to the design of complex data description. The shift in emphasis  from the simple to the complex takes place at the Minneapolis Sprint (2015-05-25). For the sake of continuity all minutes and documents are maintained in this single location.
