Agenda
A googledoc for notes is here: http://bit.ly/tgmids-notes.


1)                  Introduction

     *   Reminder of the work:

At the least meeting we agreed on 'name' for the name information element, saying that we'd provide a fuller definition and some examples to emphasise the tolerance/wide flexibility of the element. We had a discussion on materialType and we must take a decision on the way forward at this meeting. Also, would like to decide on physicalSpecimenId



2)                  Decision needed (more info in googledoc).

     *   MaterialType (https://github.com/tdwg/mids/issues/14) - Noted previously that we need to 'untangle' in this area. Type of the material, how it has been prepared and how it is preserved are three different pieces of information. What is the vision for separation? Can imagine: objectType, preparationMethod and preservationMethod or similar. At which MIDS levels should these first appear?
     *   PhysicalSpecimenId (https://github.com/tdwg/mids/issues/10)


3)                  Discussion needed (as time permits) (more info in googledoc).

     *   Institution (https://github.com/tdwg/mids/issues/11)
     *   Mass (https://github.com/tdwg/mids/issues/4) - proposal for an additional/new information element necessary for certain geological specimen categories


4)                  Any other business

     *   Date of next meeting: Thursday 6th May, UTC13:30 - 15:00

Kind regards
