Agenda

status of registration of IGSN eV
1. registration is in progress, the papers are at the court.
IGSN syntax
1. recent emails summary: IGSN syntax is still open. It looks to me like we need a hybrid system of 9-character (non-mnemonic) and longer (mnemonic) names.
2. Elsevier linking proposal - we need to confirm: Elsevier can resolve the following syntax ‘IGSN: (space) number’. Even if authors don’t put in the space, Elsevier should be able to pick up this variation
Registration agents & their relation to the SESAR metadata clearinghouse
Metadata schemas? (what has happened in the working group?)
1. IGSN metadata schema ready to be finalised
2. IGSN registration web service ready once the schema is finalised.
3. SESAR metadata schema is final (?)
Upcoming IGC workshop and how to deal with potential membership applications
AGU Session on Unique Identifiers - who to invite?
Any more comments on brochure content (yes, still working on design aspect), send to lhsu@ldeo.columbia.edu
1. Instead of ““IGSN e.V. is not a standard metadata scheme.””, IGSN defines a minimal schema to *register* the sample, but not a complete schemato *describe* the sample. Also, see wiki updates.
New membership applications:
1. any potential new members at IGC wil just make it to go through the formal processes before the AGU Fall Meeting. This means, we could discuss new applications at the AGM in San Francisco.
Status of SESAR interface development?
