Agenda with meeting notes:

1. Review formatting options for final documentation
   1. White paper: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ffCyIirUkESLefBehafbacsLb_Rq7KJbTxxeoQCyLpw/edit#

      1. Outlined the elements that have been brought into the white paper. In some cases both direct and minted-object mappings have been included.

         1. Eben added genre, originInfo, language, recordInfo (partly done). Will also cover location and relatedItem.
         2. Julie added titleInfo, name, typeOfResource.
         3. Danny added note, classification, targetAudience.

         4. Julie will reach out to Simon and Jennifer to see if they are willing to add the mappings they reviewed.

      2. Discussed explanatory paragraph that precedes each element. Not entirely sure what to include in each, likely to vary from element to element.

      3. More comments are appearing. Julie proposed that individuals who mapped the elements the comments refer to a) respond directly as comments come in or b) bring the question/issue to the larger group to discuss.

      4. Document is starting to get unwieldy, we’ll add links from section headings (i.e. element name) back to table of contents for easier navigation. Julie offered to add page numbers as well!

      5. Discussed potentially deprecated ontologies that need to be replaced. Looked at BIBFRAME v. 1 and LD4L.

         1. LD4L was being used with titleInfo. Will use bibliotek-o instead.

         2. Can remove namespace for BIBFRAME v.1 and use namespace for v.2. only. Julie will update namespace inventory and will also make edits to white paper. Just need to make sure that no properties specific to v.1 are carried over. [n.b. pretty sure we caught these later on in process and found replacement properties from other ontologies]. As elements are added to white paper, keep an eye out to make sure we're current with namespaces used.

      6. Discussed Danny's comment in doc about predicate to use for classification to represent a variable; will follow Julie's model for name, i.e. put variable term in square brackets.

      7. Also discussed Danny's question about how many and which examples of note types to use; list in collab spreadsheet is too long. Decided on a group of 5 that people are likely to encounter and agreed that's enough to make clear the pattern we're recommending for note. Explanatory paragraph for note can indicate we're providing a selection of examples, not an exhaustive list.

      8. Decided to hold off on discussion of questions around targetAudience until a future meeting.

      9. Discussed Julie's question about example 8.
