Discussion of existing Known Issues from the previous Release

ISRS-806: Invalid modelling of the due to relationship with an OrganismResolved - Checked before close of editing, content issue is resolved

ISRS-809: Illegitimate use of quotation marks used in descriptionsIn Progress - All resolved we have a validation rule in the RVF report for this now, 17 issues found and resolved, no issues in RVF report today.

ISRS-688: Defined concepts with no attributesResolved - https://jira.ihtsdotools.org/browse/ISRS-605 relates to the US extension, the ticket we have relating to the International release is https://jira.ihtsdotools.org/browse/ISRS-575 with a failure count of 1716.
I have checked a sample of the attached file, the issue is the same, the concepts are marked fully defined by virtue of their stated IS_A relationships which was in the past acceptable, editorial policy has subsequently changed and we now require a proximal primitive parent and the addition of attribute and value pairs. These modelling issues are being addressed by the QI project in many cases using template based editing, no changes required at present.  Can we close this down then??  Yes everyone on the call agreed to resolve the ticket and confirm that the QI project will resolve these outstanding issues over the next few cycles

ISRS-807: Primitive Stated parentsOn Hold - As discussed with the technical team, this may require changes to the existing classification service. Further investigation and evaluation are needed before we can implement the changes in production. It is not possible to make the changes for this release. The plan is to address this issue for the July 2021 release. We will update the ticket when the progress has been made.   Agreed by everyone on the call to be carried over to July 2021 as too high risk to make classifier changes now - will be planned in for next cycle.

Peter confirmed reports will not be updated now, as most are based on Delta's, and once we've versioned the Delta files will be empty!  So we need to check the original reports run by Maria (above) straight after her authoring checks were complete, and just manually take all of the latest fixes (like ISRS-921: Issue with Covid concept modellingResolved, etc) into account.
