SUO: FW: IFF Comments Requested
SUO WG,
I'd like to reiterate Jim Farrugia's (IFF Technical Editor) request
for comments. SUO participants should do a serious review of this document
and provide suggested changes. These comments will be logged and resolved,
so this is your chance to influence, in a structured process, this document.
SUO has a few voting members who don't subscribe to this list, so I
will especailly assert that they should provide comments.
Jim Farrugia also invited participants to join the IFF 'editing
team.' I have instructed this team on the importance of 'openness,' so they
will not be making content decisions within this group, only editorial
decisions. SUO members do not need to join this team to have influence over
the content or direction of this document.
Jim

Subject: SUO: IFF Comments Requested
ATTN SUO WG,
It is now time for active SUO members to do a thorough review of
IFF. The vote on IFF was only to decide whether to commence work on it,
not to decide what changes or improvements to make. But we are now
requesting that members review the IFF and submit suggested changes.
The IFF now lives in extended form at http://suo.ieee.org/IFF.
It consists of four pieces: an Introduction, a Core subOntology,
a Category Theory subOntology, and a Classification subOntology.
We have also posted a "changes.htm" file
(http://suo.ieee.org/IFF/changes.htm)
that describes the differences between the starter document and the
extended version that now exists. (Essentially, some sections that were
only sketched out in the starter document are now more fully fleshed out
into separate pieces. The exception is that the model theory section of
the starter document has not yet been made into its own separate document.)
Please submit your comments by October 18, 2001, replying to this
subject line ("IFF Comments Requested"), so that we can easily gather all
comments. (At some point later, we may suggest other subject lines to
group together related comments.)
Thank you very much.
Jim Farrugia
