Dropping of PDF generation for TC documents – vote

– Deployment and functional views could be added.
WGs status updates
– Data Exchange WG is proceeding according to the timeline already agreed.
– MR from Service Composition will be checked by Pierre.
– WG Service Characteristics:
- Sub-WG Infrastructure planning next f2f workshop in November; next implementation sprint to be defined once Alina is back
- Looking at the two separate proposals for describing data exchange services (one from Catena-X → Trust Framework, one from FedSvc Sub-WG Data Exchange), will suggest synergy (high-level tracker is https://gitlab.com/gaia-x/technical-committee/service-characteristics/-/issues/101– AndreasWeiss that’s the same thing we also have on the GXFS-DE agenda)
- Discussing merger of ICAM and SD Model documents in progress (as discussed already here)
- Current TF will one last time include manually written attribute tables. After that, they will be auto-generated from the Single-Point-of-Truth in SvCh/YAML
- the “SD schemas as Package” discussion: talked to Gaia-X Lab (Albert Peci) re. a common understanding of the shapes that the Compliance Service validates against (will be solved by the Package publication)
- Discussion of an ontology that implements the Gaia-X concepts (AD, TF, …) in progress on the WG’s mailing list.
