Attached is  DRAFT of some thoughts on those data fields.  Doing this helped me to see that we need to engage with the OASIS IT staff person on questions about whether the available Drupal software models can support relational data fields with one-to-many relationships.  This will determine whether a vendor needs to make one entry for each of their products and then be able to select multiple specs/version from a drop-down list, or whether they are limited to selecting only one spec-version per product entry.  See example I included in the attached spreadsheet.
