DCP-1 review
- Review final changes to DCP-1: ESIP Discovery Cast Atom Response Format v1.1
- Answer some questions posted on the DCP-1 Discussions.
- Is a rectangular bbox in the response always required? Even if the 'natural' bounds are a circle or polygon?
- Should add note that if there are geospatial information in the response item, then should always have a box. Could add other shapes.
- James G: better to remove optional circle shape to increase interoperability. more options is bad thing. Circle doesn't bring more benefits.
- Chris: want to be simple as possible while as general as possible.
- namespaces to use georss.
- rel links and IANA.
- Predefined IANA namespaces do not need a namespace.
- Brian is concerned with needing more information for machine parsable rel types.
- We should play nice with the OGC types as well.
- Brian advocates for supporting both rel "data" and "enclosure" (IANA) types.
- Atom uses rel and alternate type links.
- To keep things simple, we decided to remove mapping to IANA for now. Stick with original rel link types: data, browse, documentation, metadata, collection, service, event, feed.
- Feeds of feeds allows for hierarchy. Though there are real use case for it, we'll keep it in for now.
- This is a 'baseline' specification of the OpenSearch response. Would need specifics for granule, collection, and service responses.
- Should we specify that all discovery services must support the full GeoRSS-Simple spec? Note the support of box, circle, and polygon types. But radius, line, and point are not in yet.
- Is a rectangular bbox in the response always required? Even if the 'natural' bounds are a circle or polygon?
Decide on Voting Method
- What are we voting for?
- From last month's minutes, "Also done via Discussion pages, with thread named "Voting"; people can leave their signatures with Yea or Nay".
- James G: GDAL has a group of 5 or so people on the board. Any one of them can veto. But the intent is that they generally won't.
- Chris: 3/5 majority of Yays to Nays, and the editors can veto.
- Anonymous voting?
- Where to vote?
- esipfed.org wiki
- new Drupal-based ESIP Federation website?
- Doodle?
- ...?
