1. Overview of objectives and review of data model

3. Demonstration of m2m usage

PJ: to arrange meeting with Intrallect (Martin Morrey) and Becta/Knowledge Integration (Rob Tice) to explore requirements for m2m access to registry. Nikki to attend if possible.

4. Re-scheduling workshop

Agreed that final versions of both registry and authoring tools need to be available minimum of 3 weeks prior to workshop. Prior release is essential for workshop preparation, to enable preparation of scripts and evaluation questionnaires. It is critical that the workshop date does not slip a second time so we need to have a firm deadline.

DB: on 7 December to confirm re-arranged schedule:

18 February 2005: deliver client and registry to be used for workshop

14 March 2005: hold workshop

If possible date of workshop to be brought forward to allow Dave to attend.

5. IEMSR Evaluation
