Artifacts

• A big thank you to all the companies that

  expense to them.

Artifacts

• What is an artifact requirement to proceed to
  FCD
• Demonstrations of artifacts have been conducted
  for all the parts of 18000
• However!!!

32
Artifacts

• This requirement has been a problem. We have had
  debates on what is an artifact, should it be with
  commercial equipment, are simulators acceptable,
  what is the purpose? And other topics.
• This needs to be discussed in WG4 for any future
  standards

33
New Work (1)

• As agreed at Cedar Rapids, an ad-hoc chaired by
  Richard Rees from UK, with members from each of
  the parts of 18000-2-7 has prepared a white paper
  detailing how to achieve minimal complexity in
  each of the parts of 18000 series and explaining
  the functionality so achieved.
• This paper has been sent for ballot as an NP/PDTR
  by BSI

34
New Work (2)

• It was agreed in Cedar Rapids that a new SG3 work
  item would be created to  evaluate all
  propositions for an elementary tagging system,
  and as indicated by the evaluation, create a NWI
  to produce an elementary tagging standard

35
Next Meetings

• Next meeting in Paris, May 12/13 2003
• Additional meetingsAug 19/20, UK (based on
  closure of FCD ballots for parts 6 and 7, and
  30days prior to next WG4 meeting). This will be
  a Ballot Resolution Meeting first then an SG3
  meeting.
