Hi Chet, Fellow RIM SC Members,
This is a reminder that
we have the EM RIM SC Meeting tomorrow 7 Nov. 2017 at 11:00 a.m.
Eastern Time and I am repeating my followup below from last
week's EM TC Meeting. Note: I think we can use the directory
tree for edxl-de/ http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency/edxl-de/
as an example and to follow through on other ongoing agenda
issues.
Pursuant to the topic
broached in today's EM TC Meeting, I want to invite you to the
EM RIM SC meeting Tuesday 7 November 2017 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern
Time (first week of standard time once again) to discuss;
Navigating to latest official version of specifications.
This specifically
refers to navigating from http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency/
or http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency-adopt/
to the latest official
standards-track or Committee Note version of any given
specification per filetype.
Our suggestion: adding
an asterisk to denote ' * = click to follow path to latest
official standards-track or Committee Note version of
specification per filetype'.
This asterisk-guided selection would begin with the first directory selected at the top level emergency or emergency-adopt directory. We accept there is no shortage of issues, and we recognize that we'll have to live with multiple asterisk-denoted latest official standards-track or Committee Note versions. But as long as we're accurate, our users can have confidence that they are actually, ultimately, getting the latest official standards-track or Committee Note version of a given specification per filetype with no real ambiguity.
Cheers,
Rex
