Stakeholder Consultation, Redlands, December 7/8

Proceedings

On Thursday the development team presented the current draft of the model.  Although questions were officially limited to clarifications, they evolved into discussions.  On Friday we broke into two groups: one dealt primarily with linear referencing; the other focused on infrastructure object hierarchies.  There was a short summary of the breakouts, and the meeting adjourned at 3 p.m.

In general participants felt the model as presented was 80% satisfactory, with additional work required in a few areas as detailed below.
