1. Welcome
Alex Wang welcomed the 
attendees of the UOML TC, Bo Yan hosted the
meeting per Alex's 
request.

 

2. Introductions
Members made 
self-introductions.

 

3. Acceptance of Minutes of the 
February 6th meeting
The attending TC members unanimously accepted the 
minutes

 

4. Discussion of UOML work draft: 
introduction, Structure, and UOML Specification 
The TC discussed the format 
of UOML specification, and reached consensus about the 
following: 

•  The normative UOML specification should closely conform to the OASIS 
Templates, 
including the Editors, document identifier, and structure and so 
on;
•  For the convenience of the UOML specification revision, Diagram 
and Schema should be 
separated from the normative Specification, and both of 
them can be taken as the reference; 
•  The Diagram and XML Schema will 
be combined into the UOML specification when 
finalized.   

 

5. Discussion of security control 
module
The TC members discussed whether the Security Control module should be 
included in the first 
UOML Specification draft. Some of the comments on this 
issue that are given are:
•  If the Security Control module is included 
in the first work draft, the deadline of the 
draft submission will be 
postponed;
•  Security Control module take an important role for UOML, 
it should be integrated into 
the first specification. 
The TC came to a 
conclusion:  it is valuable for the Security Control module to be included 

in the first specification, although it will take a longer time to be 
submitted, as Security 
Control part is the necessary function of UOML. 

 

6. Discussion of cooperation between 
UOML TC and ODF TC
Red Office, an open office suite, has implemented the UOML 
in the Chinese edition (Version 
3); and the corresponding English edition 
will be released in the near future, which will 
demonstrate the relationship 
between open office and UOML in some extent, and help people to 
understand 
the future cooperation for ODF and UOML. 

 

The TC members deemed that there are 
potential cooperation opportunities with ODF TCs. This 
topic is to be 
continued by Email.

 

7. Next meeting schedule
Sursen 
would work hard to complete the first draft for the TC members to review by the 
end 
of March. The 3rd meeting will be scheduled shortly after the draft is 
delivered, which 
should be either late March or very early 
April.

 

Best Regards
