Subject: Annotation use case


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Greetings!

I think the charter needs to be more specific than "rich annotation"
with boundary on what the TC may or may not consider by way of
annotation.

I say that not to impose some arbirary limit but as a means of selling
participation in this proposed TC to a broader audience.

For example, if the TC scope were to explicitly include legacy case
decisions, currently held in a variety of formats, here is one use
case that might result in more applications to use the work product of
the TC.

Did you know that people spent "$2.3 billion on genealogy products and
services last year...?"
http://mashable.com/2013/05/03/digital-family-tree/

Yes, $2.3 billion.

A non-trivial market.

How does that related to the future legalcite TC?

It would be an unusual lawsuit indeed that didn't have people in it.
Not just the parties but witnesses, lawyers, judges, etc.

Assume you are a legacy publisher with content stretching back into
the 19th century or further.

A legalcite specification could result in genealogy researchers, both
volunteer and commercial, developing genealogical annotations for case
law that drives demand for your pay-per-view content.

An out-of-line solution that maps into the data stores of legacy
publishers, means that without changing any of their existing data
structures, legacy publishers can benefit from the activities of third
parties.

Their benefiting from legalcite work will give them an incentive to
foster the development of applications that use the legalcite work in
order to tap into the genealogy market.

Not to mention that legacy publishers might join the legalcite TC in
order to make sure mappings and other TC work products meet their needs.

But in order to make that pitch, I think the TC charter needs to be
more than identifying an issue and saying the TC intends to propose
some solution to it.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick

PS: And no, the proposed legalcite TC should not develop its own
genealogical markup. There are any number of existing systems that
could be wrapped in a legalcite element.
