Description
Need an overview document that gives the background and rationale for eml. This
would likely have both normative and non-normative sections. Would include an
overview of the structure of EML and the rationale for that structure, and its
intended use. Descriptes packaging and triples in detail. Probably would have
a normative appendix that defines the semantics of every field, which could be
auto-generated from the XSD source documentation.
Chris -- you started an outline for this. Can you recreate it here or in a
document in CVS?
We should have this for the 2.0.0 release but will not likely have it for the
beta7 release.
At SEV meeting decided that Chris and David would be responsible for this
document for the beta9 release.
Adding Chad to the list of contributors to this document.
A prototype has been developed, but need to refine this as the spcification
document for the release. Changing milestone.
Much progress made, but revisions still required for EML 2.0.0. Changing milestone.
Moving the spec document milestone to the 2.0.0 release. There are a number of
structural changes that need to be made to this document, as well as content
changes.
1) Chapter's 1 and 3 have too much overlap, and so need to be reconciled.
2) The entire document needs to be formatted with section and sub-section
numbering for easier referencing
3) Example graphics are needed to get the concepts across
I've got David scheduled to work on this and I would like to work on it as well
- perhaps we could chat and divy up the pieces - James
Completed the spec. Its GREEAAAAT! :-) Any further issues with the spec
should be brought up in their own bug specifically describing the issue that
needs to be resolved. RESOLVED FIXED.
