Subject: RE: [dss] Naming convention proposal
Colleagues - Yes. I'll format this as a working draft of the DSS committee. All the best. Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Pope [mailto:pope@secstan.com] Sent: Monday, September 01, 2003 11:30 AM To: Tim Moses; Rich Salz Cc: 'DSS' Subject: RE: [dss] Naming convention proposal I suggest that we use this as a working assumption of how to name the DSS objects. When we are happy with the proposal we can distribute it around the OASIS chairs to get wider views. Tim - can this be put in a document that we can reference and pass around.
