3.3. TC EVENTPUB

We briefly covered the state of the new properties defined for event publishing, STRUCTURED-LOCATION, PARTICIPANT, STRUCTURE-RESOURCE and STYLED-DESCRIPTION. These have been described and discussed at previous Roundtables so this was largely a status report. The internet draft has been refreshed and there are a number of comments to be circulated to the group and discussed.

Most of the session was taken up discussing the need for new properties to enable enhancements in itineraries. Examples are the need to specify starting and ending locations for events, chaining of events and tasks, and properties to hold information such as flights. It was agreed that detailed information may be better kept elsewhere with well-defined references to that information. Next steps for itineraries involve a discussion of needs and identifying which TC or TCs will handle the work. It is hoped that writing a “7 Things You Should Know About Itineraries” or a white paper may help attract new members to the TC. The other extensions draft which covers images has also been refreshed, and in the next few weeks we will discuss how to make progress with both drafts.
