[NeXus-tech] missed the telecon

[Pete Jemian]

Can't attend tomorrow's telecon so here is my 0.00000002eu.


About the different rules for app defs and base classes, see TRAC #266 
(http://trac.nexusformat.org/definitions/ticket/266) which is now ready 
on a branch for examination.

Will the validation procedure need to be modified to account for the new 
files: applications/nxdl.xsd, base_classes/nxdl.xsd, and 
contributed/nxdl.xsd?

The cmake packaging needs to be modified to include the new files listed 
above.

I agree that a 2014 NeXus Code Camp would be in order to make 
substantial progress on an implementation.  Where and when will that 
code camp be held?


About the NeXus interfaces, what Mark suggested should be implemented 
within the nxdl.xsd XML Schema rules for NXDL files.  I'm sure there is 
a way to document and describe the rules.  We will probably want a 
shorthand, as Mark has shown, to make it easier to discuss.  It's not 
yet obvious how this improves the situation in a practical sense with 
verbose declarations of nomenclature in the base classes.

Seems to me the biggest issues (that cannot be solved by interfaces) to 
improve NeXus are with how NeXus describes geometry and with the 
multi-dimensional arrays.

Thanks,
   Pete
