Dear all, A first reactions to Martin's draft : This is definitely a step forward but it still needs a lot of work to turn in into a praticable approach. Considered as a definition of the different aspects of "CRM compatibility", it does help to clarify some important issues. Considered as method for establishing compatibilty, it falls a long way short. The final phrase "The provider or a third party should be able to verify and demonstrate the claim by suitable test data." sums it up... what counts as a suitable test and who would be a relevant third party? Looking forward to seeing you in Athens Nick

This should become the instrument to distinguish false compatibility claims. It should be rich enough to cover all reasonable application cases. If not, we have to change it. Please read carefully, with respect to: a) Is this clear enough so that a good practice of validating CRM compatibility can be based on this b) Is it logically consistent c) Is it good English d) Is it functional and useful, is it attractive for providers and users, does it foster what we want to achieve with the CRM? Please comment. This text, your comments or rewritings will be the base for a decision on the CIDOC Conference if this text will be proposed to ISO as amendment to ISO21127. Only proposals submitted to this mailing list before the meeting will be discussed.
