Agenda for November 8, 2007 Working meeting of the DITA learning and training content specialization SC

See the main SC wiki page - http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/LearningSubcommittee
Roll call
Announcements
Today's Topics:
1. Status of the design and language specification -
  - October 30 DTD/schema designs, samples, and language specification formally submitted to the DITA Technical Committee as Design Proposal 12058, for DITA 1.2.
    - These supporting documents are all available on OASIS.org, with Public access:
    - Summary design proposal 12058
    - PDF of the design and language specification
    - DITA Open Toolkit plugin with DTD and XSD schemas, sample content, and documentation sources]
  - November 6 - The DITA TC scheduled a formal vote on Design proposal 12058 for November 13.
  - November 13 - The DITA TC votes on their readiness for inclusion of Design proposal 12058 in DITA 1.2 plan.
  - Still under discussion by the TC is how a specializations get included in the standard, either as part of the "core" specification, or separately as a supported specialization.
  - November - December - We tackle processing, with primary target of SCORM and secondary target PDF, according to our Phased Design Plan. The processing would get delivered separately from the DTD/schema designs and language specification, and made available to the community as part of a DITA Open Toolkit plugin module on a schedule TBD.

3. Wayne's feedback on the interactions

4. Brainstorming - What processing to target?
  - See Processing Targets

Minutes

Robin Sloan report on briefing with PTC team.
- Q - how to produce a student and instructor version?
  - How to apply profile processing?
  - Looked at intended user roles in metadata.
  - Have special treatment for images to place graphics in a powerpoint, for alignment, and so on.
  - Would desire to use the learning map domain in a bookmap. I'll see if I can put one together.
  - Student - instructor profiling.
  - Use case. Set durations for each topic, then roll up those durations for a group.
  - Do we want to make the duration available in the map?
  - Might want to override the duration in the map.
    - Looks like lcMapLom, lomTypicalLearningTime can do this.
  - How we do agenda topic?
    - Day 1, morning, afternoon, and so forth.
    - Could learningOverview be used for this?
- Question on the SCORM interactions and the sequencing. Transition to Wayne's email about interactions.
  - We will need to provide some processing to instantiate the interactions in a SCORM package, for example.
- Robin: How do we see the DITA learning specialization working with S1000D content?
  - Wayne - Plan discussed to pull the DITA topic types into an S1000D content wrapper, to see how the DITA learning
    - constructs can work in an S1000D environment.
  - John - Another approach is to use a DITA map as a common denominator, with possibility of including topic references
    - to S1000D content.
  - ADL Job Performance Technology Center has put into draft form under an Office of Secretary of Defense, Personnel and Readiness Directive 1322.18 (now in draft form) says "all training content shall be acquired in either S1000D or DITA." A 60-90 day approval cycle is now underway.
    - To address how to get tech data and training more in synch.
