[DDI-SRG] TC: Agenda for Thursday with CV

[Wendy Thomas]

Achim,

Thanks for the back ground information on this. It is what has been agreed
in the original production of CVs and was also noted in the work done in
Dagstuhl. I realize that CESSDA views this differently but what you've
stated is absolutely correct. There is a CV with terms and then
descriptions/labels in multiple languages which can be selected during
negotiation during resolution.
