Session #1

Date and time: 12 May 2022, 16:00 - 18:00 CET
Location: WebEx

Minutes

1. Prototyping status, Yellow Book

The prototyping work at DLR is progressing now that the people have become 
available. The prototyping work at ESOC is progressing nominally.
The latest Yellow Book issue 2.3 is available on the Google Drive.

2. File Based Exchange, XML Schemas

XML Schemas are generated automatically from the EA model and made 
available in the Google Drive with each update of the EA model.
A converter tool is available that takes as input these Schemas and makes 
some improvement to the structure of the data (in particular for the list 
types).
The XML Schemas for the PlanningRequest file have been tested, reusing 
test data as defined for the prototyping, as specified in the Yellow Book.
The XML Schemas for the PlanningResponse file and the Plan file are still 
to be tested.
The artefacts (improved schemas, converter software, test data) are now 
available on the Google Drive (

members indicated their interest.
