===================================
5. Discussion of current draft standard
===================================

General agreement that we should remove sensor-specific stuff from glossary

Should investigate if can use other glossaries, such as from ISO, IEEE,
IEEE-SA, …

Need to provide a document or documents providing an encoding for the
metadata and data, such as HDF5, XML, json, …..
Generally we agreed that these would separate documents from the
metadata std document.

Timeline: ideally we should try to have a final draft ready for voting
by the end of this year.

to do:

Wade and others: come up with specific edits of the draft. email to Leland

Leland: ask Vanessa about copyright. Since most of the text is from
the NGA std, it is problematic if IEEE wants to copyright it.

Leland: create a shareable/collaborative version of the glossary
needs to provide a way for each of us to share our comments related
to each term. github? google-docs? other?

Leland: aggregate the modifications to SICD that were talked about in
past meetings, and make this document available to all, including a
way to modify it collaboratively.
