to that one Peter!
Whew!
I had pencilled myself in for 18 (at least), but you've done a grand job Chris.
So
I can announce that I have indeed done my 'deep read' last night. I picked up
some of the things John picked up, and some others.
One
of the great things about the PL approach is that it brings clarity and the
logical linkage of concepts that are related in some way to each other.
But with that, you want even more! (the opiate effect!) And that's
where I have been going with this. One consistency gap (well I *think* it
is a gap), is that the Completion sections of the patterns never reference [19]
the CSFs. I can relate all the CSFs back to the patterns so why not visa
versa….?
And
while John is tightening up the Conformance, I am leaning towards loosening
them..again, relating back to the CSFs.
I
think I would need 5-10mins on the call for my lot, so I'm starting to think
that if everyone had their shot, we may need a longer call, or another call..
Cheers
Colin

Chris,
This is great and
very helpful – and lowers the barrier of entry of other volunteers to do
any remaining work! ;-)
As proposed earlier,
I’ll only do a new Working Draft after the meeting when I can take on
board this and all other contributions and comments.
All the best,
Peter

Peter
Thanks for all your work on this. I’ve now had a go at
patterns for 5, 8, 14, and 15 – the four gaps on which you asked for
volunteers. The results are in the attached document (although
you’ll see that on 15, I’ve suggested re-cutting this with the
other channels material you had done on pattern 16, and making a total of 2 not
3 patterns on channels.)
As agreed, we’ll wait to combine this material into the
overall document until after tomorrow’s call so we don’t get into
versioning problems. But I thought it would be sensible to circulate the
extra material ahead of the call so people can have a look.

Hi,
I have just loaded the first, complete
draft of the TGF Pattern Language proposed standard to the KAVI document
management system at OASIS. An earlier attempt to load was cancelled because of
a major formatting error that was messing the document up. The correct version
is:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=42513
After talking with Colin, John, Chris and
Andy, I have put forward an initial, very conservative lis of patterns which
maps closely to the initial conformance criteria that we identified during
elaboration of the Primer document. The only new concept ‘promoted’
to a distinct pattern is ‘Supplier Partnership’ that was not
covered in the Primer as a conformance requirement.
This document is in three parts:
-
Introduction with explanation
of pattern languages and a worked (theoretical) example – we should
replace this with an actual pattern from the final agreed set, to avoid
confusion
-
The 19 patterns that constitute
the core language – several of them are completely written; some partially;
others just a placeholder
-
The conformance criteria
– I have taken the language we used in the Primer and adapted it to refer
to each pattern as necessary
For the TC meeting on Thursday, we need to:
-
Agree in principle if we go ahead
with a pattern language to create our TGF standard;
-
Agree to create a
‘Committee Specification Draft’ from this working draft, that will
start the formal process towards a standard;
-
Agree who will complete the
remaining text for the outstanding patterns, notably:
o 4 Common Terminology
o 5 Policy Management
o 8 Franchise Marketplace
o 14 Citizen Identity Management
o 15 Channel Mapping and Delivery, and
o 17 Resources Management
I’m happy
to take 4 and 17 – please look through: we’ll be looking for
volunteers on Thursday or let me know via the list if you can take on one or
more.
I hope this helps!
Best regards,
Peter
