    • URI Selection WG

      • No new updates since the presentation to Steering Committee meeting

      • Primary topic at that meeting was the proposal to create a Hyrax vocabulary manager working group - Steering is contemplating that now.

      • The ControlledVocabManager WG just wrapped up a short sprint on the controlled vocabulary manager software, focus was on bug fixes. Source of the code is Oregon Digital.

        • Github repo will have Docker support soon

    • Geo Predicates WG - John Huck

      • Meeting biweekly to keep a steady pace of work

      • Focus is currently on the environmental scan, to gather predicates for describing geospatial materials

      • Collecting examples of resources types, to be included in domain model

      • Geospatial interest group may soon be revived; looking at incorporating folks from the GeoBlacklight community (see Doodle poll -- and email James Griffin jrgriffiniii@gmail.com to get in the loop)

    • Machine-readable Metadata Modeling Specification (M3) WG

      • Some slow down but getting close to deliverables (YAML file, JSON schema for meta-metadata properties, and identification of appropriate serializations for schema)

      • Question of ongoing governance and where a maintenance plan fits into the charge of a Working Group; will continue to benefit from updates as experiments continue

      • Future/new iterations of this WG may take a form similar to the URI Selection WG, handling queries and maintenance projects as they arise

        • M3 WG will meet tomorrow and consider models for future WG

      • Lightning talks and posters will be separate CFP
