  MaitraNOONADJOURNWelcomeRalph Crawford gave a security briefing to attendees.IntroductionsSee list of attendeesAnnouncementsFGDC Beta website
- Ms. Maitra asked if anyone had browsed the beta website.  Those
people who had browsed the beta website thought that its content was
better organized and more current than the operational site.Framework Data Standard - The FGDC Secretariat opened a review of revised parts of the Framework Data Standard
and comment ajdudications targeted to people who submitted comments
during the CY 2004 public reivew.   The purpose of this
review is to determine if reviewers' comments were appropriately
adjudicated.  This step is a preliminary step before transferring
the Framework Data Standard to INCITS Technical Committee L1,
Geographic Information Systems.Need for reviewers- There will be more FGDC standards activity in CY
2006.   The draft Digital Cartographic Standard for Geologic
Map Symbolization will go forward for FGDC endorsement and the draft
Street Address Data Standard will go forward for FGDC public review in
CY 2006.  In addition, the Wetlands Subcommittee have submitted a
proposal for a Wetlands Mapping Standard that will be released for vote
at the next SWG meeting. Reviewers are needed to carry out reviews as
required
by FGDC standards directives.Digital Cartographic Standard for Geologic Map Symbolization, Final DraftDave Soller gave an update on the draft Digital Cartographic Standard for Geologic Map Symbolization.  
This draft standard completed FGDC public review in 2000.  
After a long hiatus, the Geologic Data Subcommittee resumed work on the
draft and produced a final draft for SWG review.
Long-term plans include publishing implementations of this standard
in Postscript and ArcGIS format.    Doug Nebert
suggested setting up OGC Web Feature Services and implementing the OpenGIS® Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) Implementation Specification (SLD).Dave also mentioned that a North American Geologic Map Data Model is being developed with counterparts in Canada.   The conceptual model
was expressed in UML and XML Schema documents for data interchange are
being developed from the UML model.   The XML files will take
advantage of GeoSciML, a GML application language for Geoscience being developed by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS).
Street Address Data Standard, Working Draft 2.0Ed Wells gave a comprehensive presentation
on the draft Street Address Data Standard, with assistance from Carl
Anderson.   FGDC endorsement of the standard is sought by the
end of CY 2006.Working Draft 2.0 is open for review until January 16, 2005.Future plans include creating a profile of Street Address Data Standard using USPS Publication 28 - Postal Addressing Standards.Procedures for item registrationCharles Roswell gave a presentation
on ISO 19135:2005, Geographic information - Procedures for item
registration.   This presentation was arranged as several
standards activities had an interest in dynamic registration of data
items such as street address data elements, hydrologic unit codes, and
vegetation classification schemes.Doug Nebert recommended
adopting ISO 19135:2005, Geographic information - Procedures for item
registration as policy.   Implementation guidelines might be
documented in a companion workbook.Kevin Kirby stated that
Jean Brodeur had drafted a New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) on registers
of formats for geographic point location by coordinates.  This
proposal has yet to be entered into the ISO/TC 211 register.Sam
Bacharach noted that a call to vendors for development of registries
resulted in no response.   Some attendees suggested that
registries might not  be commercially viable.Robin Fegeas suggested formation of a Registries ad hoc
task group as a "next step."   Kevin Kirby, Doug Nebert, Carl
Anderson, Charles Roswell, and Robin Fegeas volunteered to participate
in a Registries ad hoc task group.CY 2006 Schedule, Wrap-upEric Linzey said that work has resumed on the draft Shoreline Data Standard.
 Ms. Maitra thanked Doug Powell and Ralph Crawford for hosting the FGDC Standards Working Group meeting.The next SWG meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 8, 2006.
