Interactions with ALMA

This document outlines the key outcomes from the ALMA-WIDAR face-to-face meeting that took place on December 11-12, 2007. The meeting focused on joint data formats and included discussions on formal agreements, version control, and project responsibilities. Key topics included the BDF, CalDM, SDM, and PDM formats, all incorporating XML schemas and UML through MagicDraw. The team is poised for reviews in early 2008, with hopes for a formal version release by April. Overall, positive impressions emerged around collaboration, though some concerns about project prioritization and documentation quality were noted.
