Notes were taken directly in the Activity Streams document as comments with general discussions captured here.
Alternate approach for full cache:
- take full dump
- one patch file for all changes since last dump
- new changes are appended to the end of the patch file as they occur
- process
- apply a patch file to the last full dump
Might work well for smaller authorities. Or if it is small, they may just do a full replace instead of applying patches. Complexity of following a series of patch documents may be more overhead than processing a full download.
Could be useful for the first time grab of data. Take the last full dump. Apply the current full patch. From then on process the Activity Stream to keep it up to date.

Future Topics

- Value of diagraming to express changes as a means of conveying information around where data is being produced, where it goes, etc.
- Partial splits and partial merges.
