Hello Martin, Indeed I think this is an essential area to protect the integrity of the CRM. In the recent development of MIDAS Heritage (www.midas-heritage.org.uk) for the UK historic environment sector much thought and attention was given to compliance.
Essentially there are two forms of compliance with MIDAS Heritage: information system compliance (i.e. the software can provide all the necessary features to comply) and dataset compliance (the dataset contains all the necessary data, suitable to the objectives of the dataset). This reflects the opinion that theses aspects of compliance are typically the responsibility of different people - the software vendors, and the dataset managers. Is that useful? The detail is given in Part One of MIDAS Heritage pages 17 - 20.

May be our standard text is not clear enough about that. I suggest to regard as minimal compatibility the ability to represent at least certain kinds of possibly multiple events associated with a Thing or an Actor. This needs further elaboration.
