Agenda and Notes, Nov. 16, 2006

1. Review of Action Items from Nov. 1

  • Registry blog posts on activity at DC2006 (Jon & Joe)

Stuart will do one on the discussions in Mexico.

  • Stuart will check with Ryan on getting a server set up so that Jon can set up a server. Jon will resend the mail with the correct versions. Jon wants to set up an intermediary that will route users to whichever server is up.

Stuart reported that it is moving along, with Oknam's help. By middle of next week things should be done.

  • DC-Ed nomination of Sarah Currier, approval of new charter for community and revised web page (Diane--Done, pending web update and announcement from Makx, Diane sent pdfs to be linked for the meeting reports)

Stuart would like to get the earlier reports off the server so that if this strategy works we will redo all of those. He will also begin work on the overlap between DC/LOM, with the goal of getting something out by early in the year.

  • DC-Ed mailing list owner change (Stuart--done)

2. Update on discussions for new NSDL proposal

  • Stuart: discussions with Diny

Two things going on: combining to get themselves physically in front of Lee. Diny's friend Gillian is head of the Australian Learning Federation and is very interested in the same things we are, so they're trying to take ASN international. Diny asked Lee if there were any other organizations in other countries NSF was already working with (or wanted to work with), and Lee jumped in it. He has some money for workshops. As soon as there is more info from Gillian they will make their appointment to see Lee, and combine this with our metadata


  • Diane: meetings and discussions with Cornell Library staff
  • What are our next steps?

3. Review Draft Step-by-Step documentation

  • Should we substitute this for the brief (and somewhat misleading) documentation on the front page?
  • What other pieces do we need, and who will do them?
  • Should we have some links to vocabulary development resources?

4. Diane has been invited to a workshop in the UK (see http://dash.ecs.soton.ac.uk/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=documents:context_metadata_and_e-learning_a_literature_review the workshop wiki]) and would be happy to have any comments to take with her.
