Subject: RE: Resolution to initiate a Semiconductor Subcommittee


Thanks Don, acknowledged. I'll try to get the list set up by end of week.

Regards,

> Purpose of This Document
> 
> 
> This document is intended to be a starting point for 
> discussions regarding the creation of the Semiconductor 
> Information Design Subcommittee (SIDSC).
> After initial discussion, the content in this document should 
> be crafted to be the Charter for SIDSC.
> 
> 
> All following headings are relevant to SIDSC (not the 
> Charter, itself).
> 
> 
> 
> Goals
> 
> 
>    Identify data patterns that are consistent and/or specific to the
>       semiconductor industry. Examples may include:
> 
> 
>          Features
> 
> 
>          Instruction sets data (may not have standard/native 
> syntax/data
>             structure)
> 
> 
>          Register data
> 
> 
>          Signals data
> 
> 
>          Mechanicals data
> 
> 
>          Electrical characteristics
> 
> 
>          Timing data
> 
> 
>          Thermal characteristics
> 
> 
>       Most of these content types/structures are well-defined by other
>       standards, such as IP-XACT, IEC-61360, IEEE-P1685, 
> etc.; others are
>       not. This committee will define how information stored in
>       standards-based formats will interact with DITA 
> systems. Data stored
>       in other XML formats may be used in a number of ways, 
> including (but
>       not limited to):
> 
> 
>          Data is referenced as "foreign" content
> 
> 
>          Data is transformed from native format to DITA
> 
> 
>    Determine which content types/patterns justify the 
> creation of a DITA
>       specialization.
> 
> 
>    Create specializations.
> 
> 
>    Establish guidelines and XSLT for transforming specialized data.
> 
> 
>    Create metadata guidelines.
> 
> 
>    Provide high-level perspective of how DITA systems should 
> interface with
>       RTL, Verilog, design flow tools, and other relevant 
> tools, processes,
>       and standard data formats.
> 
> 
>    Consider role of SVG, TDML, MATHML and characterize how they should
