Subject: Re: FW: [regrep] FW: Comments solicited -- ISO/IEC CD2 11179-3 andISO/IEC 19763 Part 3



Team here are my initial comments on this spec...

Overall, it is a very well put together spec. The way to think of ISO 
11179 is that it describes a registry/repository in even more abstract 
terms than ebXML RegRep. In the ideal world ebXML RegRep standard simply 
provides a concrete binding for ISO 11179.
However, in the real world the specs have been done by different people 
with limited alignment. Historically, we have taken 11179 specs as input 
and tried to align with them as best as possible. Complicating things 
are other competing specs like ISO 19135 for Registration Procedures.

I think is is a very commendable thing that the 11179 fold and 
specifically Bruce Bargmeyer have taken the time to get our input. We  
should ask for their input in our latest specs as well. The comments 
below are based on a very quick review.

    * Person <=> Contact model mistmatches
          o Suggest aligning with regrep with a common Party class that
            Organization and Person extend
          o Add address, phone etc. to Party. We learned the value of
            this after some trial and error
          o Take away title from Person and instead make it an attribute
            of association with an organization (titles or roles are in
            the context of a relationship with some organization)
    * Why have separate attribute for registration_authority_identifier.
      Better to represent registration_authority via an Organization and
      use orgs identifier
    * 6.1.2.2 Scoped_Identifier: Suggest defining a URN naming scheme
      instead of current spec
    * 6.2 Designation and Definition region: This clause is very
      difficult to follow. Its not clear what a Designatable_Item is.
      Suggets providing examples and clearer definition
    * 7.1 Registration metamodel region: This section should be aligned
      with ISO 19135
    * 7.1.2 Registration Record, Stewardship Record, Submission_Record:
      RegRep TC needs to see if these are relevant to our Registration
      Procedures work
    * 7.1.6.1 attachment: This is so much better a name than
      RepositoryItem (sigh: why did we not think of it)
    * 8.1 8.1 Concept System region: ClassificationScheme <=>
      Concept_System, ClassificationNode <=> Concept is another
      terminology mis-alignment. Perhaps that is OK since 11179 is meant
      to be more generic than ebXML RegRep
    * 8.1.2.3 Assertion: Need more examples or clearer description of
      how Assertions play a role in a concept system
    * 8.1.2.4.1 Description of Relation: Need more examples or clearer
      description of how Relations play a role in a concept system
    * 8.2.2 Classes in the Classification region:Good alignment in
      Classification region
    * 9 Binary_Relations Package: This fuctionality needs to be studied
      for relevance in ebXML RegRep
    * 10 Data Description Package: This fuctionality needs to be
      included in a future version of ebXML RegRep
    * 10.4 Measurement region: This fuctionality needs to be included in
      a future version of ebXML RegRep
    * I was unable to find a place in the spec where Association support
      and Association metamodel was described. Did anyone else find it?
    * Is there a comments list where we can send any future comments?
    * What public mailing lists can one signup to to stay informed of
      progress of the spec?


Thanks again to Bruce and 11179 team for soliciting our inputs.

Lets discuss these comments later today in our meeting.
