Dear all, My DFDL variant prototype (which I have described to you in a couple of earlier incarnations) is about to be released later this week (on www.alphaWorks.ibm.com) along with a tutorial introduction, both for use at my XML 2005 DFDL tutorial (http://2005.xmlconference.org/tutorials/fridayam#4) I would like to include references/links to other publically available DFDL implementations and tutorial documentation. If you wish your implementation or tutorial referenced from my tutorial then please send me a message! Messages received by Wednesday morning (EST) can even be included in the documentation included with the prototype. Best regards, Kristoffer Rose __ Kristoffer H Rose, Ph.D. <krisrose(a)us.ibm.com> +1(914)784-7642 (fax 6324) IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, PO Box 704, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598

DFDL telcon notes 2005-10-19
by Westhead, Martin (Martin) 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

Present: ======= Martin Westhead Geoff Judd Robert McGrath Mike Beckerle Reports on action items from the F2F: =========================== * Extensibility [MB] Mike had an action to pass out to th group a summary of the work IBM has done on extensibility. Wrapping this up turned out to be non-trivial. Mike is concerned that extensibility is a research level issue not ready standardization. This is clearly a concern. The proposal is that a subgroup should take the extensibility issues to one or more concrete proposals. There is already a tracker in place for this activity. The current team against this tracker is: Martin, Tara, Mike, Jim and Bob. * Scoping write-up [MB] - still outstanding * Properties list reconciliation [MB] - Mike will revise that stuff (lower priority) * Break up of properties into groups [MB]- this will happen when the properties list is reconciled. * Charter [MW] New charter has been approved by the group and submitted to the GGF. Issues List ======== * Resolved issues 28, 29,32 and 33 * Discussion should restart from issue 34

Revised charter
by Westhead, Martin (Martin) 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

I have put up the revised charter proposal at: https://forge.gridforum.org/projects/dfdl-wg/document/DraftRevisedCharte r/en/1 Part of the aim here was minimum changes. I have basically updated contact information and changed the document descriptions and milestones in accordance with our discussion at the F2F. The rest I left because it did not seem to have changed in any important ways. If you spot any problems please let me know by the end of the week. If there's nothing unresolved I will submit it to GGF on Friday. Thanks, Martin

RE: [dfdl-wg] Telcon problems
by Chappell, Alan R 12 Oct '05

The building housing the Richland DoE switchboard was flooded this morning. Since the operators didn't have access, there was no one to set up the calls. They are scheduled to have a replacement location by 10am (pacific) but that's too late for the group. Hopefully there won't be another "flood" in the middle of the desert next week! Alan
