Subject: RE: [egov-registry] Proof of Concept


Paul:

Thanks on the upcoming dates (please be kind :-}).

Given the ebXMLRegistry effort focused on schema management may either
feed requirements into the Version 3 specification or simply become a
Technical Note for V2.5 - I suggest that this project should act as a
pragamatic source of needs.
