3.5. TC API

The TC discussed progress since the last Conference: a charter was developed and instantiation as a Technical Committee was approved. The Technical Committee is making some progress on an abstract API and believes it has a framework in which to work. The hardest issue to deal with short-term is searching: we need to develop an abstract searching approach to provide much richer capabilities than at present. The TC has begun work on a 7 Things document, somewhat handicapped by the abstract nature of the topic and the work being done.
