4.   WITS paper follow-on                                                                                (30 min)

"This paper focuses on the following research problem:

How can directory services be extended to support COIs by enabling individuals to provide flexible, complete descriptions of themselves that can be effectively accessed by individuals from different organizations (and organizational units)?

"The ideal solution is indicated by the research question itself: (1) individuals are able to describe themselves flexibly and reasonably completely, and (2) other individuals are able to query these descriptions to discover people relevant to a particular project or interest."

5.   Other discussion

Next meeting :  November 1 or 8 (both are a Thursday)  (2 or 3 weeks?)
