Thursday's call - focus on Vocabulary Alignment Cluster?

Dear all,

In Thursday's call -- if Antoine, Michael, and Marcia agree --
I would like to highlight the Vocabulary Alignment Cluster [1].
I'd also be interested to hear Karen's impressions of the ALA 
Mid-Winter meeting and the LITA/ALCTS initiative.  Has anyone
else attended meetings lately and have insights to share on how
Linked Data approaches are being received and discussed?

In general, for anyone who may be feeling overwhelmed by the
sheer number of documents cited in our running agenda [7], use
cases [8], and issues raised, I would like to recommend that
everyone in the XG take the time to print off and read the clusters
[1,2,3,4,5, with one or two more potential clusters in
the works].

The clusters, which currently add up to about fifteen pages
of text, constitute the substantive core of the report we
are chartered to write (see outline [6]).  The curators have
done great work, and it feels to me like we are on target to
achieve our objectives.

To put our one-year roller-coaster ride into perspective,
Thursday's will be our twenty-fourth telecon, with a maximum of
twenty more calls remaining in our charter period.  We are past
our half-way mark and have started down the home stretch...

Tom
