[Go-essp-tech] status of CIM 2.0

[A. Treshansky]

Hi Bryan, et. al.,

Today the ESGF Metadata group had its first telco.  It went well. A
lot of issues were discussed.  We will be having another telco in two
weeks' time, hopefully resulting in concrete objectives for the group.

One of the things we were uncertain about was the status of CIM 2.0
development.  I understand that Kristin and others have been working
to make CIM 1.5 GML-compatible and taking this opportunity to clean up
some of the confusing bits of the domain model.  Every so often I get
questions from Kristin asking for clarifications of CIM 1.5
constructs.  Beyond that, though, I don't have any involvement in CIM
2.0.  Similarly, the group on the telco today was unsure how (or
whether) to participate in CIM 2.0 development.

You had said previously that a CIM governance committee (and
Controlled Vocabulary governance committees?) should be set up to help
guide and review CIM development.  Can you give us an idea of your
timeframe for setting that up, and/or milestones that must be
completed before that occurs?

Thanks very much.

Regards,
Allyn
