Fw: [sdd] Follow-ups from F2F Meeting

[Brent Miller <bamiller@us.ibm.com>]

SDD TC:

Reminder that this week's TC call agenda
is devoted to the first item below; i.e., dictionary/profile discussion.
Please generate your views on the list of dictionary/profile characteristics
noted below, and please be prepared to discuss these. Feel free to post
such information on the TC Web page, but if you elect not to do so, please
at least ensure that you've studied this matter and have information prepared
for discussion.

The goal of this week's call is to reach
a common group understanding on dictionary and profiles so that we can
start to produce real proposals for them.

Thanks.

Regards,
Brent

Subject	[sdd] Follow-ups from F2F Meeting

SDD TC, 

Reminders for some of the items we'd like to get to soon in our upcoming
TC calls. 

First, please generate the information about dictionary/profiles that we
discussed, namely: All interested
parties should come back with their ideas on what the dictionary and a
profile looks like 
Purpose/problem statement of each 
names 
value, 
granularity 
who supplies/who owns/governs 
how they’re changed/added to 
change control/versioning 
mapping definitions 
where might conflicts/ambiguity might be resolved?
relationship definitions (within and among profiles/dictionary)
how they might be rendered (general form of delivery)
simple example illustrating all of this 
how the SDD uses/relates to all of this 

Second, we have several proposals that we agreed are needed:
Human-Readable information: have draft information, need formal proposal
with example(s) (Debra) 
*** EVERYONE: please send your feedback on Debra's initial presentation
to her ASAP! 
Version: have draft information; need formal proposal(s) with example(s)
(Brent, anyone else interested in generating a proposal)
Package types: have generally agreed-upon information; need formal proposal
with example(s) (Brent/Debra?) 
“Custom stuff” (Julia?) 
Progress indication (Need a volunteer)
Please advise as to when you expect you might have a proposal to present
to the TC on one of our upcoming calls. 

I'd like to get to these items in the next couple of weeks or so.

Other suggestions for agenda topics in the next few weeks are also welcome
and hereby solicited. 

Thanks. 

Regards,
Brent
