TDS3 (a new 2016 version of TDS) discussed during the SEC Feb 2016 Meeting:

Heath Frankel at Ocean Informatics has developed a new TDS format and associated transform creating more compact TDS format and associated transformand readable data instances (TDD). The plan is now to release the XSLT transform and some overview documentation of transform algorithms. (ADD JIRA PR/CR HERE WHEN AVAILABLE). Some notes from SEC meeting:

• A TDS-revision attribute (or element) needs to be added since a TDS might need new versions etc even if the template ID has not changed
• Marand has been using template annotations making it possible to override auto-generated id's 
• Making it possible to use  annotations to override value codes in value sets cam be useful (e.g. to replace at0023 with something meaningful for developers)  

OPT to TDS Transform (TDS-XSD generation rules)
