			=== Agenda ===

			# MIDS - continue to review elements
			# Any Other Business
			# Next meeting

			=== Notes ===

			==== MIDS - continue to review elements: ====

			Update from proposal to TDWG Task Group to use the term Title and more accurate Determination to be used at a later level.

			Decision in TDWG Task Group is still pending and will be taken this week at the meeting on Thursday. Likely that the label ‘Name’ will be used with its definition being “A name given to the specimen” - being similar to the definitions of dc:title and schema.org:name.

			Geography:

			Several options because several information elements in a hierarchical arrangement. High-level geography because collections are often organised this way e.g., by continent.

			* Requirements from researcher perspective and from digitization (and curation) perspective - eg in relation to pipelines/workflows.
			* If geographical structure is present in collections, we’ve seen that captured in digitization.
			* Possibility of mis-alignments - region to region or country in a region
			* Country assignments have a historical element - assigned as countries were at the time. So what should we put now?
			* To fulfil MIDS (Level 2) are we saying presence or absence of any kind of more detailed info at a lower level than country might be acceptable?
			* What constraints are there on how rigorous we should be within each MIDS level? Is it the same for different categories of info (name, geog) or can it be different?
			* Importance of including marine and extra terrestrial regions

			Next Meeting:
