I think the relevant thing is RDFa. Scott observes that Dublin Core may
also be able to handle this case.

ACTION: Scott to follow up with an example using Dublin Core and
Publishers.

Completed.

We have two options: we can store stuff in the SVN repo:

  https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/docbook/?sc=0

or we can vote (within the TC) to publish a ZIP file of stuff on
docs.oasis-open.org.

Norm: I think we should try to migrate oasis-open.org/docbook to the
Subversion repository.

ACTION: Norm to attempt to migrate oasis-open.org/docbook to the OASIS
subversion repo.

> 7.  Publisher's and eLearning subcommittee reports

Scott: I need to schedule a publishers meeting, there are a couple of
RFEs. We have to decide if we want to do a 1.1.

> 8.  Transclusion in DocBook

XInclude 1.1 is in CR:

  http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude-11/

I've started a set of stylesheets to implement the DocBook
Transclusion options.

> 9.  DocBook 5.1 release

Now that we can put stuff in subversion, we can make some sort of
announcement of the first CR.

> 10.  Review of Requests for Enhancement

Agenda items for next month:

Should RDFa be part of DocBook 5.2
Should Dublin Core be part of DocBook 5.2

Any other business

Scott: ONVIS has adopted DocBook as the official format for the ONVIS
interface guides. These can be rendered directly in a modern browser.
