Dear Observations List Member, As you may be aware the GUID-1 meeting has now taken place. The outcome of this meeting has wide ranging repercussions for all TDWG standards and their future interoperability. I am therefore calling a Technical Architecture Group meeting as soon as possible to discuss the best way to proceed. This meeting will be able to discuss issues, such as shared vocabularies, which are outside the scope of the GUID project. You can read more about the proposed meeting here: http://www.tdwg.hyam.net/twiki/bin/view/TAG/TagMeeting1 I would be grateful if you would consider whether you might attend or nominate some one to attend. If you would like to discuss the meeting further please join the TAG list to save generating traffic on this list (http://www.tdwg.org/mailinglists.htm) Best wishes, Roger (apologies if you have received this multiple times as it is going to several TDWG lists). -- ------------------------------------- Roger Hyam Technical Architect Taxonomic Databases Working Group ------------------------------------- http://www.tdwg.org roger@tdwg.org +44 1578 722782 -------------------------------------
