Agenda with meeting notes:

   1. White paper: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ffCyIirUkESLefBehafbacsLb_Rq7KJbTxxeoQCyLpw/edit#
      1. Action items from last time:
         1. Outstanding & New
            1. Review all sections and be prepared to address any open comments from the document (all reviewers)
            2. Mapping issues
               
               1. opaque vs. modsrdf
                  1. Property: digitalOrigin, extent, accessionNumber, accessionNumberFormer, barcode, nameOrder, recordOrigin, locationShelfLocator
                     
                  2. Class: archivalSeries, bibliographicSeries
                     
                     1. Samvera Vocab Manager isn't going to support Classes to start
                     2. might need to look again for those classes
                  3. BF - need to check RDF file since domain and range info on website might not actually reflect definition (recommendation but not necessarily required)
                  4. Julie will double-check all opaque and modsrdf properties and classes - no modsrdf or madsrdf properties or classes; some suggestions for opaque properties and classes
               2. Monitor potential to mint predicates through Samvera URI WG (all)
                  1.  form for submitting requests: https://github.com/samvera-labs/uri_selection_wg
            3. Update namespaces table after mappings are all copied over (Emily)
               1. wait until opaque/modsrdf review complete since namespaces might be removed
            4. Style-related issues
               
               1. Update TOC to remove links to examples
               2. headings for elements consistent
               3. remove 'curly' quotation marks
               4. XML elements with long attribute value lists – spacing, indentation, etc.

                  1. name - all of the different attributes included make text wrap and make it less readable

                  2. Eben will look for style guide but we might just need to make sure we're consistent
               5. Consistency of "Direct Mapping" links, capitalization, etc.
                  
            5. Community Review
