RE: [regrep] Content Management Services

["Breininger, Kathryn R" <kathryn.r.breininger@boeing.com>]

I think renaming the section to Content Management Services with one major
section called Content Cataloguing Service makes a lot of sense, and am
supportive of that idea

I am less enthusiastic about a section for Content Validation Service.
While Content Validation is very important, I am wondering if this would not
be more appropriate as an implementation specific function?  There are a
number of validation tools available, and it seems that implementations will
want to pick their own tools.  However, if the section simply stated that
the content must be validated in order to be accepted for submission, that
would address the requirement for validation, but leaves the "how" up to the
implementation.  I could support this treatment of validation.

(Resending as it went to wrong alias previously)

One suggestion I have since f2f is to rename Content-based Discovery 
chapter to "Content Management Services" and have one major section 
called "Content Cataloguing Service". I am also proposing that we add a 
very similar "Content Validation Service" which instead of creating 
catalog data simply returns returns a boolean on whether the content 
being submitted is syntactically and semantically valid or not. If not 
valid then it is not accepted for submission. Nikola can describe this 
proposed feature as we have discussed this in detail.

The cost of specifying this new service is negligible as it builds on 
the work for Content-based Discovery. And it would be a most valuable 
feature as the biggest issue with registries is the quality of their 
content.

Thoughts?
