John,
I had a quick look at their latest document and the UK work
referenced here
http://standards.esd.org.uk/LGBM.aspx as well as
the UK public service vocabulary list here:
http://doc.esd.org.uk/IPSV/2.00.html
I do find the UK work is much more comprehensive, on the other
hand, I also don't see major conflict of the meta model defined in
Europa doc. with UK work ( even the CPSV work is incomplete).
So to your question, whether TGF should use some of CPSV work, I
guess it depends on what we want to use it for. Their model is at
such high level, I don't see any terms are actually defined base
on that model. So the model itself is a bit useless to us at this
point. i.e CPSV and UK work are "concept aligned" for us to use
either or both.
If we want to put a stake on the ground to define a public service
model and some services/stakeholder vocabularies for TGF, we
perhaps should have a team discussion on this. i.e. look at the
UK LGBM and IPSV, also to see whether there is any other
competing/complementary standards. From the web, currently LGBM
and IPSV lack a codified model and RDF representation, I'm not
nearly knowledgeable in this area, but I bet we can easily
translate UK LG and IPSV using this new CPSV model and RDF
format.
w.r.t. comments/improvement to the current document.
- I find the reference to TGF is weak. Their current model
seems solely focusing on joint-up the services so that it will
be easier for people to identify or find services., it takes a
view point of today and also end users perspective. TGF has a
different goal, it aims to transform public services into
citizen centric and encourages franchise model. All these
concept are lacking in the current CPSV model. I would like to
see some statements added to reflect that in future CPSV work
, e.g. CPSV should expand the model to accommodate the public
service design patterns defined by TGF. Perhaps a use case on
how people find new franchise business opportunity or for
Gov. to identify service improvement opportunity will be good
too.
- I do like the terms that they use in Figure 1 for use
cases, like "member state", "national authority" initially
I thought they will define those but no where I can find the
definitions in the document. It will be useful that they
instantiate the model in section 4 with the terms they used in
Figure 1 to help illustrate the point.
(just a side note, whether CPSV takes off or not is a different
question, a Google search on "public service vocabulary" returns
several entries on this review at the top of the search list. Good
opportunity for TGF visibility that we help to at least move the
work in the right direction to reduce frictions)

We
discussed this item on our last TC call and I’ve copied
earlier drafts for your comments. Now the final draft is
out for public review and I would like to put a response in
from the TC please. I know there were some misgivings about
the scope and intent of this piece of work but I hope we can
provide some “constructive” criticism rather than a total
thumbs down. Can I have your comments please by 22nd
so that I can compile a formal TC response by the deadline
of 28th.
I
would also like your views on whether we can use this as the
basis or part of our Core Terminology/Reference Model. No
doubt we will want to add to it but does it provide some
basics that we can use?
John
Dear members of the working group,
We are pleased to inform you that the

Review period.
The draft to be reviewed is available

Please communicate the call for review
through your networks.
With best regards,
