22 July 2006

8:30	Definition of the problem

8:50	Brief refresher on the structure and flexibility of imgCIF
         and available supporting software and mechanisms for making
         changes to both accepted mechanism for updating
							H. Bernstein

9:10 - 9:30  Go round the room for people to introduce themselves,
         giving a few sentences on who they are and their involvement
         in the subject and to make adjustments in who will present
         and the order of the presentations after the break.


9:30-10  Break for coffee and to allow for last minute reproduction
         of late/revised handouts.

10:00-12:20  Short (10-15 minutes) prepared statements (based primarily
         on handouts, rather than visual aids) to help frame
         the discussion, for example:

         What is the problem should we be solving?	G. Bricogne
  	Issues for equipment vendors.			C. Nielsen
  	Issues for data-red'n software developers.	W. Minor
  							J. Pflugrath
  	Issues for beam-line software developers.	TBD
  	Issues for other software developers.		A. Ashton
  	Issues for data archivists.			J. Westbrook
  	Issues for CIF wonks.				B. McMahon
  	Issues for relative to HDF and XML.		TBD

         Presenters should leave some time for questions, so a strict
         12 minute limit will apply to the formal part of any one
         presentation.

12:20-12:30	Organize the afternoon		        R. Sweet
		Working groups
                 (Note: one of the working groups
                  will be for novices and concentrate
                  on familiarization with imgCIF)

12:30	Lunch

1:30	Working groups meet

2:30	Working groups merge into working group of the whole to
         decide whether conclusions can be drawn.
