Dear RIF-WGers, David and I have come up with 7 general use case categories. The categories are listed below in alphabetical order and under each title we list (in alphabetical order) the submitted use-cases that we see as falling in that category. Submitted use-cases may fall in more than one category. This is, of course, a tentative and not necessarily complete or optimal categorization, but we feel that it is a pretty good start. What we would like to do is to "synthesize," as much as possible, the submitted use-cases in each category into one unified narrative and list of possible requirements. In other words, fill out a use-case template for each of the 7 general categories based on the subsumed submitted use-cases. Since time is short we would like to ask for volunteers to work on each category. (After the 7 categories below, we list submitted use-cases that we have not been able to classify so far and those whose description on the WIKI were incomplete.)
