Title: Message




Any way to 
separate out test components so we don't exclude a test site of this 
calibre?
 
 Many 
JusticeLink jurisdictions and the entire Federal CM/ECF system does not 
provide for case initiation from lawyers at this time.  If /when they move 
to LegalXML it would be a shame to leave all them out of a full test that 
requires case initiation.  In the US DoJ study of eFiling we used the term 
initial pleading and responsive pleading because their requirements were so 
different.  How would Washington state or other react to 
a separate test for these two components?

Subject: RE: 
[legalxml-courtfiling] Interoperability test requirements for ECF 
1.1

Overall, I support the proposed interoperability test criteria and 
the proposed ECF 1.1 spec test criteria for interoperability testing.  Great work!



I 
would like the TC to be aware that King County, Washington would like to offer 
to be one of the courts involved in the ECF 
1.1 interoperability tests, since we are 
implementing ECF 1.1.  But, the TC should also be aware that some of 
the criteria preclude us from being ready to participate in a test until 
(approximately) the 2nd half of 2003 
at the soonest; specifically:

-- We have not included case initiation in 
the first phase of our project.  We do not anticipate utilizing the 
metadata relating to parties and attorneys until we implement case 
initiation.

-- Our court does not process attachments 
separately from lead documents, so in the initial phase of our project we are 
not utilizing the attachment metadata.  We do anticipate a need to utilize 
the attachment metadata when we implement XML documents.  But, we do not 
plan to implement XML documents as part of our project (other than in the 
simple BLOB form) until the Court Document standard is ready, including forms 
data (whether that is a separate specification from Document or part of same 
specification).

We will be able to provide a report on 
other test criteria as it becomes available if that is helpful to the TC, but we 
will not be prepared to participate fully until later phases of our project are 
completed.  We do not have the resources to implement functionality for the 
sole purpose of participating in the interoperability 
tests.
