1. Notes by Nicholas Racz:

Jim Wowchuk unfurled the necessity of taxonomic definitions and having semantic interoperability between different representations of similar data (‘date of birth’ vs birthdate)


Theoretical: We elaborated on a hierarchical taxonomy of a user and had active discussion over its implementation.


Action item: Suggestions on who or what organization would be best to establish an initial set of tags. Considered ISO, IETF, W3C, OECD, etc.
