Clarification on Meeting Invites

• @Leo Papadopoulos clarified confusing meeting invites and that we are going back to the WebEx links for these meetings.

• We agreed that this standard would NOT be just for the financial industry and that we would try to make it generic so that it can be used outside of finance.

• We agreed that the standard would use extensions for proprietary fields. The main key value pairs would be generic.

Review documentation work from @Vitor Espindola

• @Vitor Espindola did a lot of research on how to document this standard so that we can all collaborate in a consistent format. His notes are at the bottom of the meeting notes from the previous meeting here: CMS-WS Meeting Minutes 2019-01-21

• In the end the following decisions were made:

  1. We would use JSON Schema to document the specification. (See this interesting tutorial: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/json/json_schema.htm)

  2. We would likely use the tool that @Vitor Espindola found to convert this to markdown. https://github.com/adobe/jsonschema2md

  3. We will continue to generate example JSON which will be the format that actual metadata would take.

  4. We will abandon YAML and remove it from the repo.

• @Vitor Espindola will try to automate the generation of the MD using a CI hook in this git. We may need help from FINOS on this. Not sure what access rights are needed to do this.

• @Tom Schady mentioned some good goals to keep in mind for this spec

  1. Adoption

  2. A clear standard that keeps computer science principles in mind.

  3. A future proof standard
