FEA Data Reference Model (DRM) Specification, Version 2.0 (Draft) - Comments Welcome

I just found out 
that the latest FEA DRM spec has been made public, so if anyone would like to 
view and comment on it it you can find it at:

 

http://colab.cim3.net/file/work/caf/resources/DRM2.0Version7.doc

 

Please note that 
only a limited amount of formatting/publication/figure touchup has been done to 
date; we will be putting it through professional publication at some point in 
the next few weeks. So this is still a work in progress (including the 
content).

 

Regarding comments: 
If anyone has any comments on the spec, please feel free to e-mail me directly 
(I was one of the primary contributors, so your comments to me will go directly 
into the process). We have been asking for comments by COB this Friday, but if 
anyone would like to slip comments to me after that time, that is fine (shhh!!! 
Don't tell anyone I said that!;) We have a November 17th deadline to US Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB), then it goes to Congress on December 17th as 
support for a mandate from the E-Gov Act of 2002, Section 207(d) on the 
categorization and search of information on agency public Web 
sites.

 

Registry TC folks: I 
would especially appreciate feedbakc on Appendix D, "Registries and 
Repositories". I originally wrote this as a "Data Registry" appendix, then we 
decided very close to our last deadline to include metadata registries - so the 
mix of the 2 (data and metadata registries) may not be ideal given that it was 
done very quickly. I am going to take another look at that section myself. I 
would also appreciate comments on how we can best mention ebXML Registry; I left 
it out of the current version as I was not confident that our description of 
data registries was consistent enough with how we portray ebXML Registry, and 
didn't want to have inconsistency.

 

Kind Regards,
