Agenda and Discussion
- Standards and SAs for quality (to be delivered to DSWG DDQ)
- RDA Metadata Standards Directory
- 2013 interoperability topics (results in whitepapers)
- MIME types for SIR entries (update from OGC TC)
- Background: SIF MIME Types wiki page, and notes from SIF meeting 17-May
- DA: at OGC TC, 24 Sept 2013, OGC Naming Authority committee suggested solution for MIME type assignments for OGC web services, is to define a MIME type that identifies each standard web service getCapabilities syntax (eg, WMS, WFS, WCS, CSW, SOS). This will be much more actionable than something generic like "application/xml", and would not require compound MIME type content (xml for capabilities, something else for data payload, which would be identified anyway in capabilities doc)
- Also, OGC NA committee would consider defining specific MIME types for each standard OGC data format, to escape ambiguity of "application/xml" and even "application/gml+xml")
- GEOLabel update
- Legal interoperability
- Discuss work and timeline for resource casting
- Review draft paper regarding registration alternatives
