Extensions and next step of Obscore

[CresitelloDittmar, Mark]

A quick counterpoint here.
The purpose of the ObsCore plenary was to bring this from a set of
interest group projects, to the working group level for pushing through to
standards.  I don't think that cutting the working groups out of the
discussion is a good move.. but the topics should be directed to the
appropriate working group(s).

I certainly would like the DM group to be included in discussions about how
we the DM content is going to move forward.

My understanding about how this might play out is:
  * ObsCore v1.2 to contain
      * the 'common' properties identified across the domain-specific notes.
           - some discussion may need to occur for proposed changes to core
properties which are non-trivial
      * relatively generic descriptions of the properties, and in some
manner, referencing the extension documents for detailed descriptions of
the properties in the context of that domain.
      * MAY include the DAL / Registry components.. which apply to all
extensions of ObsCore.
           - I do think there is a cross group discussion still to take
place regarding these interface standards containing content on different
aspects of the workflow ( DM + DAL )
  * Extension Documents
      * is a bit of a TBD... in my opinion, we'd want the extended property
set to be normative for the domain extension.. which implies a REC
        * I'm seeing this as probably a DM REC for each of the
domain-specific extensions? or one for all ObsCore Domain Extensions, with
a section for each domain?
      * I don't think this document includes the DAL / Registry / Semantics
content of the current notes.. which should be resolved in similar
discussions with the appropriate working groups to decide how that content
is codified in standards.
