Notes
- GLS (Michael and Lihao)
  - No Problems experienced with GeoLinking data.
  - A dummy GDAS has been set up to return the data in the right format.
  - Work to output GML with extra attributes is nearly complete.
  - Work to output raster image using an SLD is progressing:
    - SLD is a little tricky
    - None of available tools MapServer, GeoTools use appear to use streams and OGSA-DAI uses streams.
    - For the time being, no streams are being used for GML to Raster conversion.
- GDAS (MIMAS)
  - Open source GDAS server based on NFIS 0.10.1 Open Source GDAS
    - Implementing DataHandler
    - Implemented GetCapabilities
    - Pascal to send URL
  - XSD Schema easy enough once you've got the head round it
    - Providing a Schema for all Census data is a big job and out of scope for this.
    - Maybe Ken Miller will pick up on this and some resources will be forthcoming from the NCeSS e-Infrastructure project to do this work.
    - Implemented descibe process
    - XML KDB
- GDAS Accessor (NeSC)
  - CSV being used rather than XML in the GLS, but we should use XML so Ally is to write a converter to go from XML to CSV.
    - I wonder if this will be an XSL XPATH thing...
  - GLS client (Andy and Paul)
    - Paul reported progress :)
      - Using Lightweight REST framework for Java Restlets in a JSR-168 portlet, Paul has made a GLS Client that works the same as The deegree Version: 2.0.1 + GLS 0.10.2 patch (2007/04/02 build-1-iaaa): generic OGC WebService client.

    - Requested Mike Crabtree to open up the firewall on geo-s12 so that we can query a URL and get a response back over HTTP
- SEE-GEO Consortium Agreement (Chris)
  - Consortium agreement getting there...
- Report on GeoLinking IE Ad Hoc at OGC Meeting in Ottawa
- Report on NCeSS e-Infrastructure SEE-GEO Joint Meeting 2007-04-11
  - And Turner's NCeSS e-Infrastructure SEE-GEO Joint Meeting 2007-04-11 Web Page
  - Meeting broadened out and became more of a get to know you meeting than anything of substance.
  - Link between the projects more clearly recognised
    - Exchange of project documentation.
    - Exchange of expert contacts (security).
  - Ken Miller to get in touch about which datasets to Grid Enable:
    - EDINA Data
      - UK-Borders
      - OS Master Map
    - MIMAS Data
      - Census
      - BHPS
    - MoSeS Data
      - Demographic Model Outputs (mainly forecasts from dynamic model)
- Next steps, next meeting
  - Same time next week, Keith won't make it.
- AOB
  - OGSA-DAI issues and testing
    - Can the problems Pascal has had be replicated by OGSA-DAI team?
  - Publication and dissemination
    - We are obliged to write this up by end of June
    - Chris OGF20 presentations May
Action List
- Andy Turner
  - Ask OSGeo connections for advice on existence, availability and appropriate FOSS software for GML to Raster conversion using streams (for OGSA-DAI).
    - OGSA-DAI has pipeline architecture. It is designed like that to work fast in a multi-threaded way with streams of data.
  - On-going Actions from previous meetings
    - Developing Use Case
