Status update
James Reid,
EDINA,University of Edinburgh
GEMINI 2.1 update
• GEMINI 2.1 published after consultation process
• 27 comments , 6 organisations
• No substantive additional amendments
• Documentation – Parts 1 & 2 of the Guidelines have been
updated to reflect 2.1. Part 3 (Data Quality) is still being
finalised
• Additional documentation:
– GEMINI 2.1 Schematron Schema & Technical Documentation
– Encoding Technical Guidance
LIIB No 6 14 October 2010 London 2
Role in Evaluation of Metadata Editor
• Evaluation group is wider than just MDWG members
• Includes English Heritage (Defra and LPSNI)
• Eval group feedback being recorded in OS bug tracker
• Still inputting and critiquing – ongoing MDWG concern over
disjoint between documentation and realisation on UI
LIIB No 6 14 October 2010 London 3
MDWG Recommendations for LIIB Approval
• MDWG recommend that the UKLP should document on the UKLP web site the
complete set of documents for GEMINI2.1 (AGI docs + OS doc set)
• MDWG recommend UKLP to request AGI to do likewise (at least to have off-
sire links to non-AGI docs)
• MDWG recommend that an update process/plan be put in place for ensuring
transparency in the synchronicity of documentation set given split governance
-the current encoding guidelines are owned by UKLP, the Guidelines by AGI.
• Clarification issue. How far can documents posted on Huddle be circulated
within members organisations?
• Registries. The relationship to data.gov and the CKAN definition of 'registry' are
at variance. Can UKLP leverage data.gov to ensure representation on the
MDWG to assist in resolving inconsistencies.
