Eizi et al.,
There was lots of discussion last week in Toulouse and lots of detail. I will try to get it right...
19115-3 is the schema for 19115-1 as well as schematron rules for 19115-1 constraints, xsl for 19115 to 19115-1 and back, and schematron rules for identifying content in 19115-1 that will not translate back to 19115. The goal is to support metadata that wants to move forward and migration plans for systems that use 19115.
The 19139 work is aimed at cleaning up the division between UML and encoding. The goal of that work is to remove 19115 dependencies from 19139. This project will be quick and it is being led by Nicolas Lesage (leader of 19139 and 19139-2) and Dave Danko.
There will be two revisions of 19115-2 (maybe a corrigenda and a revision) . The first is to remove the normative reference to 19115:2003. This is a minor one. The second is the full revision of 19115-2... The need for that revision will be voted on later this year. I expect the U.S. to vote yes.
All of this work is aimed towards the WMO goal of taking advantage of capabilities of 19115-2 and 19115-1. We are getting ISO on track to support that goal.
There was also lots of discussion of handling multiple XML resources (xsd, xsl, sch, ...) in a reasonable way. 19115-3 is the first project (I think) that includes all of these types of resources...
Also, 19115-1 is still on track to become an FDIS later this year and an IS next year!
Hopefully that clarifies,
Ted

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...
they will only grow louder and more dissonant .
We've been asked to pause for a reality check.
We've been warned against offering the people
of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has
never been anything false about hope.
