Subject: [tm-pubsubj] Requirements part1 - towards final draft


Following the current exchanges between Murray, Lars Marius and Mary ...

Preliminary remark. Please folks stick to the rule "one thread - one subject"
We have two ongoing documents for review, so have mercy on the poor editor, and as far as
possible try to reference which part of which document you are about, and explicit what
kind of modification you propose, if any.

Here we deal with Requirements part 1
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tm-pubsubj/docs/requirements/part1.htm

I have had so far only comments by Lars Marius. I would like to release the final draft by
the week-end, so that we can vote upon it on January 29 conference call. Any more comments
are welcome before the week-end.

I have one question myself, dealing with vocabulary again, for the two following in the
list in #2

1. "published subject documentation"
Since that one will generally document several subjects, should not it be "published
subjects documentation"?

2. "subject definition document"
It comes out from exchanges between Murray and Mary that "document" could be often a
"document node".
So this terminology can be misleading, but I don't see what to propose instead. What is
the generic term for
"document or part of document"? Some suggestions:

"resource" (seems controversial to me)
"element" (suggesting too much maybe that it should be an XML element)

Murray will suggest maybe that we bring back good ol' PSI there :o)
But we decided that "indicator" is reserved to the TM author viewpoint, and we are there
from the publisher viewpoint.

Even if the definitions for the glossary in Recommendations are not fine-tuned, at least
we should agree on the terminology in the Requirements document, and stick to it
afterwards. So I need that to release the final draft.

Thanks

Bernard
