Early Afternoon Session            1:50 – 3:30 p.m.

The original plan for breakouts was discussed, and potential topics explored.  But ultimately, it was decided to have everyone continue discussion here.

Late Afternoon Session             4:15 – 5:20 p.m.

Continuation of the discussion, specifically about two topics: metadata (45 minutes)  and next steps (20 minutes).

The discussion was facilitated with flip charts. A version of these, rendered in Word and minimally annotated, is available here. A more graceful summary will be forthcoming.
