Comments on LegalRuleML Core Specification Version 1.0

[Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net>]

Greetings!

The OASIS Technical Advisory Board (TAB) on initial public review drafts
by OASIS TCs.

On behalf of the TAB I have attached our comments on LegalRuleML Core
Specification Version 1.0 as LegalRuleML-14March2017.xls.

It isn't necessary to acknowledge each comment separately, just
acknowledging the file will be sufficient.

Hope you are having a great week!

Patrick

PS: I'm hopeful the TC can influence those involved in Deliberation
RuleML, Reaction RuleML  and Consumer RuleML to move their work to
OASIS. While I respect the enormous amount of work put into those
"specifications," they are by no means "specifications" in the sense
that any standards driven vendor would recognize. While RuleML.org could
replicate the processes and procedures that exist at OASIS, I suppose
the question is whether they want to duplicate that overhead or devote
their efforts to improving and promoting the families of "RuleML."

That would not be an easy process, editorially or otherwise as the
documents I saw, from a standards perspective, have a number of
organizational and formal issues. But moving to OASIS would open up a
world of vendors who recognize standards when they see them.

Apologies for the brevity of my comments but as volunteers the TAB has
to work with the time alloted for reviews, which often results in formal
aspects getting more attention than substantive issues.
