Sorry for not getting this out sooner...I've been down with cold. Taina and
I hope Sanda will be joining us to discuss what needs to be done in TC to
support CV work.

Taina has provided the following list of topics:
-  Does the DDI Alliance want to publish the translations of the CVs as
well as the source CVs? That would require changes in the website. If not,
I think there should be a reference to the CESSDA Vocabulary Service CV
which has the translations. And even if yes, a reference anyway?

-  On the DDI Alliance website, the different location URIs of different
vocabulary formats take too much space. Can this be amended, for example,
by presenting a button for each format?

-  URN: at present the ‘Canonical URI of this version’ element (=urn of the
version) does not have a language tag. The IT people for the CESSDA tool
say they would like also the source vocabulary have a language tag. This
would mean that the urn of the English CV version would be:
urn:ddi:int.ddi.cv:TypeOfInstrument:2.0-en.
Is this OK?

-  The tool produces a citation which does not exist in CVs now published
on the DDI Alliance website. What to do with this in data transfer?

-  Usage information may be presented differently, can the publication
pipeline just publish whatever is there in the CVs in the CESSDA tool?
Module/attribute/element names will be there with a link to the
specification, as well as element numbers for DDI2 but no definitions of
the element as now in DDI website.

-  The tool will automatically assign the publication year as the copyright
year. For all CVs published from the CESSDA tool, it will be the current
year, be the CV old or new.

-  Urn resolver planned for DDI?
