Since Mark's email went buggy (yeah, that's the story) and didn't
send the CC email to the dev mailing list, I have now done so using my "bug
free" … cough … email program of choice that shall remain
nameless.
For those more serious about the thread, the correspondence is related
to sharing OASIS content with Eclipse.
Cheers,
-Jason

Jason,
Regarding the
use cases, we've never incorporated anything as detailed and as documented as
what you've got now. We have taken in use cases around the CMDBf, but that was
by working with some of the CMDBf team. I think we should reference/hyperlink
to the more detailed use cases from our work.
As we approach
code contributions, then we'll need to make sure that we follow the eclipse
legal process and submit an ipzilla request for any material that we will be
checking into CVS that originated outside of the developers, e.g. SDD schema.
These documents would need to have the copyright information inside of
them, just like all of our java files etc...

p.s. I
copied cosmos-dev with this note so the rest of the team would be aware of the
conversation and add any additional comments.

Hi,
We can use the OASIS material as long as it retains the OASIS copyright
information. I am open to suggestions about how best to present the use
cases document as it is quite large and quite detailed. These are the use
cases that I believe need to be sorted under the higher level use
cases/scenarios we're working on now.
Have you all incorporated use cases from other groups before? If so,
how did you do it? Is there a pattern there I can follow or do I get to set
the pattern? :-)
Cheers,
-Jason

Hi Jason,
Great question! Everything the TC does is open for public viewing -
that is,
any document that is uploaded, all emails, meeting minutes, etc. are always
publicly accessible. That's one of the great features of OASIS. As the
public
review goes out, we encourage our members to forward the review notice to
any
other lists/groups that may be interested/have input in the work. It should
be
noted that any work either contributed or created at OASIS retains the
OASIS
copyright and is subject to the IPR terms of the specific technical
committee.
The Eclipse community should be encouraged to review any/all documents or
emails
as part of their implementation.
Regards,
Mary
