Subject: [members] Member review of 
draft Artifact ID Requirements, by 27 July

To:  OASIS 
members

    The OASIS Technical Advisory Board (TAB) has 
prepared a draft set of Artifact Identification Requirements for potential use 
by OASIS TCs, as a more ordered method for assigning names and URIs to OASIS 
technical work products.   Comment from OASIS members is welcome, and 
would be most useful between now and 27 July, when the TAB plans to review all 
comments and finalize the draft.   
    The URI and 
method for comments is described below, in a message from TAB Quality 
Subcommittee chair Bill Cox, who along with his colleagues has contributed a 
great deal of thoughtful work to this proposal.  This draft, in turn, 
builds on earlier work from a number of contributors led by Eve Maler, resulting 
in somewhat similar guidelines that have been used  voluntarily by some 
OASIS TCs for several years.  
    It is proposed that, 
when completed, these rules would become the normative naming practices for TC 
outputs, so input from our user communities is essential.   Please let 
us have the benefit of your comments.

Dear Colleagues:  
  
  
The OASIS Technical Advisory Board and its Quality Subcommittee have 
  worked this year to update and elaborate a set of informal document naming 
  guidelines that parts of the OASIS  community have used for several 
  years. Earlier drafts  have been shared with the chairs list;  this 
  draft is now synchronized with the new IPR Policy and TC Process.

The 
  current TC Process rules permit us to apply uniform naming rules more broadly 
  to OASIS TC work product,  in order to promote uniformity and facilitate 
  the successful use of finding tools.  
   
The current 
  Working Draft 15 of new proposed OASIS Artifact Identification Requirements 
  ("AIR") has been posted to our [oasis-member-discuss] space, at the URIs 
  below.  The TAB has asked that we make it available for member review 
  during the month of July.    

Please encourage editors 
  and other active TC members to review this document, as we will all be 
  affected by the greater formalization of artifact naming 
rules.
AIR working draft 15:  http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/13344/ArtifactIdentificationRequirements-v1.0-wd-15.pdf

The 
TAB also has provided a short preface and list of questions:

Review 
comments on the AIR should be posted by 27 July 2005 to: 
mailto:

  not join that group to send comments, they must join if they wish to subscribe

We appreciate your

Thanks!
