This is a record of a telecon held today between 1400 and 1435.

Present: Andy Turner (AT), Keith Cole (KC), Lihao Liang (LL), David Rawnsley (DR), Michael Koutrompas (MK), Gail Millin (GM), Pascal Ekin, Chris Higgins (CH), Paul Townend (PT), Alison Turner (ALT)

Apologies: John Watt (JW), Ally Hume (AH)

CH introduced a guest - ALT is the JISC Programme Manager with responsibility for the SEE-GEO project under whose auspices our participation in the Geolinking IE is taking place.

CH reported on access to the geolinkie wiki.  This is sorted now, individuals at OGC member organisations have the authority to add further members, who can then access the relevant pages.  MK and AH added, MIMAS and Leeds OK.

MK reported on progress with the GLS.  Has gone well, especially in respect of being able to process GML as a stream.

DR reported on MIMAS progress with in respect of the GDAS.  Specifically, the action from the previous meeting to "extract and provide sample data marked up in XML according to the GDAS xsd."  Received in last few days from Leeds the list of data required.

Action: DR, by Thurs 5th Apr will provide marked up sample data.

AT reported on the GLS client.  List of datasets passed to MIMAS.

CH opened up to wider input the information that a meeting has been set up for the 11th April between the NCeSS e-Infrastructure programme manager (Mike Daw), EDINA (CH) and Leeds (AT) to ensure that the Geolinking work fits, in so far as is possible, with work scheduled under ESRC e-infrastructure.  It was suggested that it would be a good idea to have a properly written up Use Case doc to put before the ESRC project team to aid discussion, understanding, and get their buy-in.  KC agreed this kind of coordination is important and applies to the NGS as well.

Action: AT to provide a next draft of the Use Case by Thurs 5th Apr.

Action: CH to send sample templates and Use Cases

CH reported that a meeting has been organised at EDINA between NeSC (Glasgow), O/D team and SDSS either on the 4th or 5th Apr to discuss security issues with a focus on the GLS.

Action: CH to circulate mins of this meeting to All and bear in mind queries already raised by PE.

PT reassured the team that Junaid Arshad would be continuing to work of security from the client end at Leeds and that they would continue liaising with JW.

KC asked had EDINA recieved (from the NeSC announce mailing list) the request from Kent (David Chadwick) for requirements input into a Shib Grid project they are running called "The Shintau Project".  CH replied he had not and KC emailed the announcement.  CH requests that the team (including
ALT) continues to feed information like this into the project.

The final agenda item was the SEE-GEO Consortium Agreement (CA).  CA's are standard JISC procedure and both ALT and CH briefly explained what they were about.  We are required to have a CA and Leah Halliday (EDINA staff) is putting one together.

Action: CH (or maybe Leah) to circulate a draft CA once available to main partner institution points of contact.

Next meeting: tentatively scheduled for Tues 10th April 1400-1500 (PT doesnt know movements for certain)
