Meeting Summary - 26 March 2007

[Weekly conference call, 26 Mar 2007.] "Device Description" described! Initial ontology almost ready for publication. Reviewing OMA documents. Need public input to vocabulary. Details follow:

[DD Defined] A text to describe what is meant by "Device Description" has been formally agreed by the group and will become part of the DD group terminology. The definition will require an update to the DI Glossary. The key part of the definition is this: "A device description is a formal definition within some context of the named attributes and their permissible values [which may take the form of
lists, ranges, or other patterns] which are applicable to entities of interest in that context," and goes on to mention the role of 'device' and the scope of the DDWG with respect to this definition. The full text will be made public on the wiki.

[Ontology Documents] A set of Protégé files capturing an initial ontology have been created by Rhys, together with a sample XHTML document to summarise the information in a human-readable form. Rotan will be looking into providing an automated visual representation, and the set of documents are expected to be made public soon. This is not the Vocabulary, but a framework in which the DDR Vocabulary can be defined.

[OMA Liaison] In response to the recent OMA liaison, a formal acknowledgement will be posted on the public mailing list. Furthermore, two members of the group (Jo and Andrea) will be reviewing the OMA documents as requested in the liaison statement.

[Vocabulary] It was noted during the meeting that the group could use some more public input, so expect members to mention the DDWG process in blogs and other public channels over the coming weeks.

[New Actions] (ACTION-21) Rotan to Liaise with DI and successors ref this definition (of DD). (ACTION-22) Rotan to "Dot-ify" section 3 from the ontology document to make graphical version. (ACTION-23) Jo to work with Andrea to prepare a draft response to OMA Liaison - and review architecture document.
