- How have other OGC groups handled international encoding?
- What lessons have been learned about what not to do?
- Discussion on reference code list integration and management
- Store stable reference code lists as enumerations in schema
- Store nonstable lists temporarily in schema until more viable approach is developed
- Oasis Genericode
- Schematron
- CSW-ebRIM
- Custom built online type registry
- Questions and Answers
- Open Discussion
We introduced Jan Stuckens of Merkator NV/SA in Belgium. OGC staff introduced us to Jan several months ago. After extensive dialogue, it was apparent how closely aligned Jan’s knowledge, skills and philosophies were aligned with those of the SWG. A co-chair seat was vacated when Terry Strahan left his previous company that was a member of the OGC. So, we proposed Jan be elected to this co-chair seat. There were no objections to unanimous consent and Jan was elected as Co-chair of OGC PipelineML SWG.
