RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] Certification Requirements draft for comment

["Krause, Catherine" <Catherine.Krause@METROKC.GOV>]

Title: Message

I have two comments on this draft:

 

- Section 5.1 Standards states "If a vendor can fully comply with the standards and execute an incompatible transaction, then the standards are incomplete."  I am unclear on what is meant by an "incompatible transaction".  Please add a definition or example as to what this might be.

 

- I support the idea, listed as optional in section 5.2 Test Suite, that the test suite may identify compliance with a defined set of "minimal" or core requirements, and also "optional", which would be the full set of functionality.  This should remain optional, since initially the test suite may not make this distinction.  But, I would encourage us to support the development of a suite capable of reporting on compliance with core and optional features that are agreed to by the TC, and further that it could report on compliance with individual optional features.  This would be very beneficial to courts who are interested in accepting filings from a vendor; for example, if a court was not planning to implement digital signatures, the court might be willing to accept Legal XML filings that are certified to be compliant with all features except for digital signatures.  I think this is a longer term goal, but something that we should strive to work towards in the future.

Subject: [legalxml-courtfiling] Certification Requirements draft for comment

Until the Certification Requirements draft is published on the OASIS TC website, I am distributing the version of the draft document that is not yet in the standard OASIS format to the listserv per the TC conference call request today.  The Certification Subcommittee welcomes comments on the draft.  It will be in the proper format when it is posted to the website.
