Subject: Requirements Spec Review


Folks,

The first comment period for the Requirements Specification closes two
weeks from today.  The Requirements Team requests specific review and
input from the other teams in the following areas.  Our liaisons to your
teams will be working with you to receive this input so that we can
include it in the next draft.

1)   Terminology - We would like to target this document so that all
parts are reasonably understandable by all ebXML participants.   In
several cases we have done some rephrasing or editing to achieve this,
but there may still be some sections that have overly detailed,
technical terms and jargon.  Things like "In no instance shall this
meta-model be subject to implied specification using instantiations or
derivations" come to mind, along with "wire format mapping", which we
edited out.  Where such things still exist, please either rephrase them
or add enough explanatory text to make the meanings clear.  In addition,
if we have taken out anything you feel is important, please put it back
in.  But, please make sure that what you put back in is accessible.

2)  Gaps, Overlaps, and Inconsistencies - Please review your section and
those of the other teams for these concerns.  We have already had
discussions of gaps and overlaps.  There may also be inconsistencies
between not only what the teams are working on, but between the team's
requirements and the overall business requirements in Section 2.

3)  Section 4 Organizational and Procedural Requirements - Please make
careful review of this section.  The last set of bullets, if adopted as
requirements, call for follow-on actions by the executive and steering
committees.  If you are not prepared to act on these, or if you think
that there are others that are missing, please send include appropriate
changes to these bullets in your comments on the document.

Thanks,

Mike Rawlins, ebXML Work Group, Requirements Project Team Leader
