Status updates on our progress
- Here's our current status, relative to the targets outlined in the Phased Design Plan, which the sub-committee approved and reported back to the DITA TC in February, 2007.
- Topic designs
  - We have complete draft designs, working schemas, and test sample content for the following topic types:
  - Learning Plan topic type. See August 9 meeting minutes.
  - Learning Overview topic type
  - Learning Summary topic type
  - Learning Assessment topic type
  - Learning Content topic type
- Metadata support
  - Scott Hudson is working on a draft design, schemas, and working samples for IEEE LOM metadata in the topic prologs of the five learning types, as specializations of the DITA data element. See IMS LOM design.
- Learning Map Domain
  - Learning Map Domain provides a first draft design. We need to discuss:
    - Whether to allow nesting of learning objects
    - How to handle relationship tables
- Assessment interactions
  - We have agreed to develop a basic set of assessment interactions as a native DITA domain specialization, based on Reuben Tozman's six basic interaction types.
  - We may also support use of QTI interactions as a DITA foreign domain specialization, based on the following technical dependencies:
    - QTI must provide both DTD and XSD implementations.
    - QTI must provide processing support to SCORM.
    - QTI must provide processing support for any additional delivery targets, such as PDF or HTML.
Next steps
- Turn the wiki pages with the topic designs into DITA topics, and publish a draft specification for the 5 topic types, for review and approval by the sub-committee. John Hunt to coordinate this. Target completion: September 6.
- Complete a draft DITA specialization design for IEEE LOM, including working schemas and sample content. Scott Hudson to lead this. Target complete: September 27.
- Resolve map domain issues and turn the wiki pages on the Learning Map domain into DITA topics, and publish a draft specification for the learning map domain, for review and approval by the sub-committee. John Hunt to lead this. Target completion: September 27.
- Develop a draft spec, including working schemas and sample content, for the DITA interactions domain, for review and approval by the sub-committee. John Hunt, John Accardi, Reuben Tozman to lead this. Target completion: September 27.
- Goal: By end of September, we have resolved issues and approved designs for the 5 topic types, the map domain, the native assessment interactions, and the metadata model, including working schemas and basic sample content.
- October - December - We tackle processing, with primary target of SCORM and secondary target PDF, according to our Phased Design Plan.
Today's Topics:
- We have these topics to address in September.
- status of the draft spec for the 5 topic types - John H.
- update and working discussion on the interactions domain - Reuben and John H.
- update on metadata coverage and discussion about specifying it in maps and topics - Scott
- the map domain - revisit, review, and discuss any remaining issues
  - Learning Map Domain provides a first draft design. We need to discuss:
    - Whether to allow nesting of learning objects
    - How to handle relationship tables
