Draft Specification Comments: Section 4 Core Technology Architecture

[Todd Tullis <todd.tullis@veeva.com>]

Section 4.1 Description of the Architecture

General comment: There seem to be inconsistencies in terms used in this section that define different 'layers'...makes it difficult to understand. For example, what is the "presentation layer" (bottom of page 9)? There is no mention of such a layer previously in this section. Please define or use a consistent term.

Page 10: "Support for the DIA TMF Reference Model..."

Why was the TMF RM not used as the source here, given its level of adoption and awareness in industry? Beyond cross-referencing, the OASIS model should stay in lockstep with the TMF RM to reduce industry confusion.
