Today’s topics:
1) Organisation.
From January 1st, in line with our standing bylaws, Rainer has stepped down as chair, and from detailed involvement in the ALM-PLM Interoperability Workgroup. Rainer aims to continue in a more general way around industry reviews and comment, including participation in the OSLC Steering Committee and role as governance moved to OASIS model.
We discussed and agreed to reinstate the monthly open house sessions, separate from more detailed working sessions - as the ALM-PLM interoperability WG has run in the past, so we will structure the sessions in this manner, i.e. separate meetings only for those who have signed the WPA. As a reminder the wiki is organised in this manner, i.e. user access is governed by WPA signing.
The WG has benefited from industry leadership from beyond IBM and the WG members expressed a desire to continue that.
In the interim Nick has proposed Gray as a temporary lead - seconded by David. Gray accepted on the basis that we look to continue industry leadership from outside of IBM. Gray thanked Rainer for his leadership over 3 years to the end of 2012 and hope that it may continue in some capacity in the near future.
2) Spec convergence
David provided an overview of the RELM RDF examples developed last month. We discussed the key concepts for product structure and relationships. We planned a detailed walkthrough at our next detailed working meeting, scheduled for January 21st.
