'''Meeting Notes''' 18.07.2013 14:00 - 15:00

'''Present''': A.Ellenbroek (FAO), Rachel Lewsley (NEAFC), Anthony Early (NEAFC)

'''Notes'''
# It is not immediately possible to start developing against FLUX requirements. 
## There is a draft specification for position records in XML, but no final format or tooling
## Rachel will contact DG MARE on this again
## Pending that outcome, the opportunity will not be pursued
# There is a more concrete opportunity with ICES
## ICES needs on-line access to NEAFC database, but such facility does not yet exist
## We can propose to develop this in iMarine; a VRE offering a search on NEAFC data
## The VRE would be accessible only after approval of the ICES VRE Manager, results would be stored in a Secure WorkSpace
## The VRE would send a query to NEAFC’s database, and NEAFC would post back the results. There is no NEAFC data accessed other than through one component, managed in the NEAFC infrastructure.
## This component marshals the query requests and posts back the result set; it would be developed under subcontract by NEAFC.
##  It would be an independent piece of SW, to ensure sustainability.
## iMarine is to connect to and / or embed this SW component, and enable the storage of results, provide lay-out and design of the UI
# Next
## We will focus on topic 2 above for this subcontract
## A.Ellenbroek to provide NEAFC with a draft functional proposal by Tuesday 23 July
## We will contact ICES with a draft plan. Carlos Pinto at ices.dk is the contact for NEAFC
## We invite CNR after the meeting next week to comment on a written draft proposal. 
## FAO NEAFC will have another call Thursday 25.
