NCIP Presentation at LITA - Wanner reported that all the information for the NCIP presentation at the LITA National Forum in September has been assembled and turned into LITA. Thanks to all who worked to identify the presenters and get information together.

Next Meeting - Boland reported that III is negotiating with the San Jose Marriott for the next NCIP IG on October 3 and 4. This is the same hotel being used for the LITA National Forum. It was determined that the morning NCIP CEP meeting on Oct 5 will not require a special meeting space to be reserved at the hotel.

Bailey-Hainer raised the question if there should be some attempt to invite members of IPIG to the next NCIP IG meeting. There is a fair amount of overlap between the two groups. There is some concern that IPIG dormant at present but that some changes (the 13 digit ISBN for example) that will need to be addressed in the near future.

Action items

  • After discussion it was determined that Ed Davidson will contact Mary Jackson regarding inviting IPIG to the next NCIP IG meeting and the possibility of creating a joint meting around the same time. Avoiding conflicts with the NCIP CEP meeting and extending the whole meeting out an additional day needs to be considered.
Adding a new Location Type Scheme - The discussion was based on a posting to the NCIP listserv by Boettcher on March 24, 2005, and is to support sorting systems.

Discussions focused on the facts that

  • The proposal itself is widely supported by the members of NCIP IG
  • Adopting the proposal will require the registering of a new scheme
  • The process for registering and deprecating schemes has not been standardized
Action items

  • Boettcher will supply a new scheme/URI for the scheme including this proposal and post to the listserv
  • Bodfish will begin discussion on the registering and maintaining of schemes via the listserv.
  • The topic of registering and maintaining schemes will be included as an agenda item for the October meeting.
Proposal for Information Message - The discussion was based on a posting to the NCIP listserv by Needleman on April 14, 2005.

Discussion centered around included some constraints to better assure that a large number of messages outside the scope of NCIP would not be generated.

Action items

  • Bodfish and O’Brien to create some additional wording to include some protocol constraints
  • Needleman will re-draft proposal to include when the information message is appropriate and not appropriate.
User credentials to Expire - The second part of this proposal is to add the ability for the NCIP client to inquire as to the date that a user’s credentials will expire.

It was agreed that this should be a separate proposal from the Informational Message and that there is a need for an alternate method to encode the credentials to expire message.

Action items

  • Needleman and O’Brien to craft a proposal and post to listerv to test the concept of this message
Roadmap to NCIP - The discussion was based on the postings by Bodfish on April 5th and 6th and May 12th, and the points raised by Walsh on the listserv and at the March meeting.

During discussion it was determined that

  • The document should be as self-contained as possible with as few references to other documents as possible.
  • The focus of the document should be how to interpret format and syntax as opposed to actual continent.
Action items

  • Bailey-Hainer and Wrede will contact appropriate members to review and provide additional feedback on the document.
Item Collection Code/Classification - The discussion was based on the posting by Mayberry on April 20th.

During discussion it was determined that free text was preferred over a scheme.

Action items

  • Mayberry will proceed with the Item Element Type as free text and will begin to identify the areas in the protocol that it will need to be included.

Next call – June 9th – 9am PDT, 10am MDT, 11am CDT, and noon EDT. Call will be kindly sponsored by 3M.
