3.	Is there a Multi-level Semantic Content Use Case? What part

can participants expect the Registry to provide when Company A that has
a Taxonomy wants to sell WIP (Work In Progress) goods to Company B which
has Conceptual Model. Company B wants to resell finished goods to Agency
C which has a Logical Theory Model.
  

I propose that we start our activity by first discussing use cases of semantic content management.

Here are some ideas for effective use case discussion:

-Keep use cases very clear and simpl. Avoid the less obvuious use cases initially. Go for the few use cases that are the most important.

-Start a thread on each use case with title prefix [Use Case] followed by a concise and clear title.

-Identify actors in the use case clearly

-Identify any other use case that the new use case extends or generalizes

-Optionally include a UML use case diagram

Eventually we could take the use case threads and distill into a "Semantic Content Management Use Case" document deliverable.

If any one has a template for email discussion of use cases please share on this thread. If not I will start a use case thread to serve as a sample.
We can discuss improvemnts to the template on this thread. After that others can submit new use cases as new threads following the suggested template.
