Oops! Now I understand the source the confusion surrounding this thread. 
Please note that the actual content of the use case I submitted is 
irrelvant.
Only the structure is relevant to be considered by this TC for the 
actual use cases we may discuss.

To recap, I had observed that we agreed that use case were a good way to 
focus our discusions concerning egov requirements. I therefore suggested 
template for submitting new use cases. The structure of the template is 
relevant, the actual content (actors etc.) is not. I have not submitted 
any use cases for the egov TC yet (only a suggested template for doing so).

Hopefully this will clarify the miscommunication on my part. Thanks.

Folks,

We seem to agree on the value of use case identification as a tool to 
nail down requirements. It would help
if we all use a consistent use case template.

To facilitate use case discussions, attached below is a sample use case 
that I propose as a template for other use case discussion.

Feel free to suggest improvements or ask questions.

We could start by applying this template to use cases for Semantic 
Interoperability. Thanks.
