Subject: FW: [chairs] need input on doc mgmt at OASIS
If anyone is so inclined, please contact Karl directly. I will more than likely participate as I've been providing considerable input on the new system already... Rob Philpott RSA Security Inc. The Most Trusted Name in e-Security Tel: 781-515-7115 Mobile: 617-510-0893 Fax: 781-515-7020 mailto:rphilpott@rsasecurity.com -----Original Message----- From: Karl Best [mailto:karl.best@oasis-open.org] Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2003 2:07 PM To: 'chairs@lists.oasis-open.org' Cc: robin cover; Jeffrey Lomas Subject: [chairs] need input on doc mgmt at OASIS Chairs: Now that we've got the new collaborative tools (Kavi) up and running -- though with a few minor fixes still required, we're thinking about the next bit of major functionality that we need to provide to our TCs. We're aware that the Kavi tools don't provide the complete functionality that we need for management of documents produced by the TCs, so would like to address this problem next. For a long time we've been using ftp so the TCs could manage their own docs, which has pros and cons. The Kavi tools provide some level of functionality, but not everything that we need. We've also got a registered URN name space but no way to manage or administer this. We need an integrated solution that will allow us to do the following: * allow the TCs to manage all of their docs in a consistent manner * require permissions for different types of people (members, chairs, public, etc.) to perform different functions * use the just-completed doc naming scheme (from the chairs mail list) * use the OASIS URN namespace, and provide some mechanism for administering this * ensure persistent URLs, both for existing docs and into the future * include a CVS collaborative development environment * take advantage of at least some of the Kavi doc repository functionality (notification of TC members, etc.) * provide for long-term archiving of completed and approved OASIS Standards * provide adequate security for the server and files located there In addition, whatever we come up with needs to be built using limited (or donated) resources, and needs to run on existing OASIS server resources. This is certainly not a complete list of requirements, but just some of the things I can think of off the top of my head. Some issues are related to functionality, others to usability; we need to address both. All of this is more than we here on OASIS staff are going to be able to solve, and as you, the TC chairs, are the users of most of this we need your input and expertise. I would like to assemble a small, ad hoc committee of OASIS members that could help us come up with first a list of requirements that we would then circulate for comment, then a proposed solution that we would also circulate for comment before starting to build a solution. If you are interested in helping with this project please let me know. If there are people in your TC that you think might be interested or have expertise in this area please forward this to them and ask them to respond to me. I'd like to get this going soon, as there is a fairly urgent need to have this problem solved. thanks -Karl ================================================================= Karl F.
