>Subject: ASTM E13.15 ANIML Development Meeting at ASTM Hdqrts
>
>Hi folks,
>This is a reminder that we will hold an ASTM E13.15 ANIML development meeting
>at ASTM Headquarters on April 23 and 24. The meeting will start at 1:00
>PM on
>Wednesday, 4/23. We'll reconvene at 9:00 AM on Thursday, 4/24 and try to
>finish up by 2:30 PM. Directions to ASTM can be found on their website
>(www.astm.org).
>
>As this is a development meeting, we will not have a strict agenda. However,
>since our PittCon meeting, several of us have been thinking about our
>challenge and have put together an initial list of discussion topics:
>
>1. Review the Model to make sure that we like it and that it will work.
>
>2. Discuss how encapsulation will work (i.e. incorporating other schemas).
>
>3. Discuss the allowable data types that can be used in the Core.
>
>4. Discuss the concept and consequences of versioning and versions.
>
>There are many other areas that we will have to consider; so, if your
>favorite
>topic is not on this list, let me know, and we'll try to schedule some
>discussion time for it at this meeting or at a future workshop.
>
>Information on the ANIML model can be found on the ANIML sourceforge site
>(http://animl.sourceforge.net) in my SpectroML presentation. You may recall
>that we have agreed to reuse as much as we can from previous efforts. So, in
>preparation for the workshop, I think it would be useful to take a look at
>some related work, including: the discussion of data types in the generic
>JCAMP 6.0 draft document (see www.jcamp.org under "drafts") as well as the
>other JCAMP docs found on the same site under "protocols." It would also be
>useful to take a peek at the MATML (Materials Markup Language) site
>(www.matml.org). We may find a lot of what we need in the way of sample
>description has already been done in MATML. Finally, the information on GAML
>can be found at www.gaml.org, and the SpectroML stuff can be had at ftp://
>caals.nist.gov/pub/download.
>
>I hope to see you at ASTM on April 23rd.

>Cheers,
