HM.deliverables: note

[Ranjeeth Kumar Thunga <rkthunga@humanmarkup.org>]

That is a very good point.  All of these efforts will be formalized during our first meeting, but before then, discussion topics would best be (although by no means restricted to) our core pre-documents (as Rex brought up with his last post on applications for instance.)

 

It will be next week when these documents will be updated, and two more weeks before they are in discussable 'Working Draft' form.  This is when our meeting is (unless someone out there wants to volunteer the tasks---if so, write me!!).

 

In addition, keeping with the subject line would be even more beneficial when it comes ...check out the 'HM.policy' document for more information.

Subject: Divide and conquer

Hello Everyone,

 

Much attention has been drawn to the myriad applications for HumanMarkup and it's associated specifications and technologies. Considering the nearly inexhaustible scope for HumanMarkup endeavors I would like to propose that somehow within the OASIS TC process we develop a subcommittee/process/steering group/workflow management/etc that can refine the process for determining research efforts for various HumanMarkup applications.

 

Problems associated with the possible scope had been addressed in prior discussions on the Yahoo! HumanMarkup group and I doubt anyone would disagree that at this stage, prior to the first meeting of the Technical Committee, we should perhaps consider, and I am certain, debate, the structures for subcommittees, steering groups, and other various entities that can manage reasonable chunks of research areas for HumanMarkup. I guess this is not such an exciting issue, but management of workflow and research, while helpfully manageable under OASIS structure and guidelines, still needs tending to regarding the specific needs of HumanMarkup.

 

Refer yourself to the HumanMarkup Applications list at :http://groups.yahoo.com/group/humanmarkup/files/Applications/Examples/applications

 

This list of course is only the tip of the iceberg. Considering that we are primarily technologists here, it would be important, if not quite as exciting, to focus on workflow issues very early on. Let the games begin, and I suggest we follow the old military dictum of divide and conquer.

 

Cordially,

 

Joe Norris
