Re: XTM-UCS: USE CASE SURVEY #1 and RE: [xtm-wg] Re: Knowledge ma nagement claims re XTM (and Topic Maps.. .)

["Wrightson, Ann" <Ann.Wrightson@sweetandmaxwell.co.uk>]

Yes, this stuff is excellent *and should be regarded as additional
technical-side usecases* (already well fulfilled), by the usecases group.

Hans, please would you upload all your relevant papers?

I would like to see the usecases collation activity looking at the "spread"
of our usecases from end-user requirements through functionality on map
instances to technical how-to techniques, and identifying where there are
gaps which need filling. (We don't need full fine-grain coverage, but we do
need to avoid big gaps which will block understanding.)
I'm happy to have a crack at this evaluation after the basic collation of
responses has been done.

Cheers

Ann W.
