Scope
The core topics of the TWR will be the topics of the KIM-AG, with additional -- more or less closely related -- topics that lie within the more general DINI scope. The overall scope will be subject to changes over time. Previous content will be integrated into the new platform for legacy reasons and this gives us an initial scope of topics.

Stragegy
We try to jointly organize an event at the DC-2008 conference, e.g. a talk plus discussion, or even a workshop, to reactivate the DINI AG Standards. This planning activity will be (1) hopefully enough to keep the DINI AG "alive" for the time being, and (2) a natural way of approaching the still active members of the DINI AG. This activity gives us also the chance to approach possible new members for the DINI AG and helps us to redefine the joint project "KIM-DINI TWR".

Reinhard Altenhöner and Laurent Romary communicate this plan to the DINI-Beirat, in order to renew the endorsement of DINI for the joint TWR activity. They will also organize the take-over of the Co-Chair by Laurent with the Beirat.

Editorial board
The editorial board of the TWR should be composed of DINI and KIM members.

The suggested preliminary board is:

1 KIM representative: Stefan Farrenkopf

1 DINI representative: Reinhard Altenhöner

2 Technical Editors: Juliane Müller, Andreas Gros

Topic Editors for: Metadata standards and applications: Markus Enders(?), + one KIM member, e.g. Traugott Koch or Tom Baker

Longterm archiving: Tobias Steinke (?)

Knowledge organization and subject cataloging: Tom Baker, Traugott Koch

AI: Stefan Farrenkopf talks to Markus Enders

AI: Reinhard Altenhöner talks to Tobias Steinke

General tasks
Identify the scope, provide an outline for possible topics. The technical editors approach new authors, do the text editing, and tagging.

Editors take over or delegate the review of contributions.

Further tasks are defined by the editorial board (quality control workflow, etc...)

AI: The next meeting will be held on 8 April in the Berlin office of the MPDL

Language
We accept contributions in German and English.

We commit to disseminate news in both languages.

Constraints
We eventually have to produce archivable articles which can be identified by URIs. This means that there have to be stable versions of articles. We have to develop coherent views on the articles: e.g. institutional, topical, logical, predefined. We have to provide functionality for distributed collaborative writing, editing, and reviewing.

Types of contributions
