<div> </div><div>The attached document is an annotation of an earlier discussion piece. The various quality related additions to DDI 3.2 have been highlighted and commented up based on the last TIC disucssion. (earlier discussion is found on <a href="http://mantis.ddiallience.org" target="_blank">mantis.ddiallience.org</a> issue number 534).</div>
<div> </div><div>Essentially the discussion we wish to have focuses on the following:</div><div> </div><div><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">
</font><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">There were two areas where we had requests to add to 3.1, allowing for references to external standards followed at various points in the process and a key/value pair to address the quality of the metadata within a maintainable.
We have not addressed the development of Quality Measures as discussed with ABS
as we had had no earlier requests to do so. TIC understands that this is a
major area for NSIs and that DDI will need to be able to relate to areas of
GSIM that deal with these issues. </font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">
</font><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">The primary question now is two-fold:</font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">
</font><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">Does the change in the MetadataQuality/QualityMeasure name
clarify its intended use and remove the conflict with a widely used term? The
alternative at this point would probably be to remove the MetadataQuality element
from Maintainable although we do not know how others may have been intending to
use it within its original definition.</font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">
</font><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Calibri">Does DDI 3.2 need to address the QualityMeasure content raised
by ABS (see Name_of_Quality_Measure.pdf) in some minimal way or should this be
moved to a future version of DDI? There are too many interested groups to be
able to pull together a detailed means of addressing this issue within the
remaining timespan of 3.2 preperation.</font></font></font></p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">
