1. 045 - Disciminators Continued discussion of semantics of discriminators and arrays. Review Examples 2. Clarification of postfix separators, terminators,finalTerminatorCanBeMissing Confirm Proposal: - Last 'postFix' separator is not optional - Terminators are mandatory. - dfdl:documentFinalTerminatorCanBeMissing - the last terminator in the data stream may be missing. Is only examined when processing the root element a global element is a child of xs:schema - dfdl:documentFinalSeparatorCanBeMissing - the last separator in the data stream may be missing. Is only examined when processing the root element a global element is a child of xs:schema 3. Does the parser/serializer have to start on a global element? - Confirm It was agreed that it would be helpful for tooling, importers, etc to know which elements are possible 'root' elements even though XML doesn't have this capability. A new property, dfdl:documentRoot, will be defined that can only be on global elements. The property is optional, it does not prevent the DFDL processor from starting at any other element. A DFDL processor or tooling may choose to optimise based on this property. 4. LengthKind = 'bits' Review Mike's draft 5. Semantics of length=0 Should a field length of 0 , from expression or prefix for example, mean the element is present but length zero or not present? Should occurrence be used to control existence and length to control length? 6. Go through remaining actions 7. Draft 037 review Agree terminology -A schema has components which have dfdl annotations .- Dfdl annotations have properties (attributes) -The data/data stream/message has elements/fields -The infoset has items 8.

Review for next call 03/06: Comments received and will be incorporated 09/06: Progress but not discussed 17/06: Discussed briefly 24/06: No Progress 01/07: No Progress 15/07: No progress. MB not happy with the way the algorithm is documented, need to find a better way. 29/07: No Progress 05/08: No Progress. Will document behaviour as a set of rules. 12/08: No Progress ... 16/09: no progress 30/09: AP distributed proposal and others commented. Brief discussion AP to incorporate update and reissue 07/10: Updated proposal was discussed.Comments will be incorporated into the next version. 14/10: Alan to update proposal to include array scenario where minOccurs > 0 21/10: Updated proposal reviewed 28/10: Updated proposal reviewed see minutes 04/11: Discussed semantics of disciminators on arrays. MB to produce examples 11/11: Absorbing action 033 into 045. Maybe decorated discrminator kinds are needed after all. MB and SF to continue with examples. 18/11: Went through WTX implementation of example. SF to gather more documentation about WTX discriminator rules. 25/11: Further discussion. Will get more WTX documentation. Need to confirm that no changes need to Resolving Uncertainty doc. 04/11: Further discussion about arrays. 09/12: Reviewed proposed discriminator semantic. 049 20/05 AP Built-in specification description and schemas 03/06: not discussed 24/06: No Progress 24/06: No Progress (hope to get these from test cases) 15/07: No progress. Once available, the examples in the spec should use the dfdl:defineFormat annotations they provide. ... 14/10: no progress 21/10: Discussed the real need for this being in the specification. It seemed that the main value is it define a schema location for downloading 'known' defaults from the web. 28/10: no progress 04/11: no progress 11/11: no update 18/11: no update 25/11: Agreed to try to produce for CSV and fixed formats 04/12: no update 09/12: no update 056 MB Resolve lengthUnits=bits including fillbytes 12/08: No Progress ... 28/10: no progress 04/11: MB to look at lengthUnits = bits 11/11: no update 18/11: no update 25/11: no update 04/12: no update. ALan will set up a separate call to progress this action. 09/12: no update. ALan will set up a separate call to progress this action. 064 MB/SH Request WG presentation at OGF 28 25/11: Session requested 04/12: no update 09/12: no update 066 Investigate format for defining test cases 25/11:IBM to see if it is possible to publish its test case format. 04/12: no update 09/12: no update Alan Powell MP 211, IBM UK Labs, Hursley, Winchester, SO21 2JN, England Notes Id: Alan Powell/UK/IBM email: alan_powell@uk.ibm.com Tel: +44 (0)1962 815073 Fax: +44 (0)1962 816898 Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
