RE: Simile Deliverables review; apr 27 deadline

Hello all,

Apologies this feedback comes a day after the deadline.

Martin Merry sent a note with much useful feedback, however I can't tell from reviewing http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/SimileDeliverables how that feedback has been reflected in the deliverables.

In particular, I have heard from multiple individuals that scalability is important, yet there appears to still be a span of a year between the initial scalability report and any subsequent milestone concerning scale.  Also, it is not clear whether the report is intended to cover just RDF databases and storage, or the whole SIMILE architecture including clients, caching, and precomputed indices.

I have had feedback that the scope of the deliverables is still very broad, and that we should perhaps consider narrowing to allow more depth in a more focused area.  It is probably best for us to discuss this on Thursday. 

I'd also like to close on the position that MacKenze and I were taking on the concall several weeks ago, that we needed a more explicit deliverable in identifying and acquiring the specific corpora across which SIMILE can/will be demonstrated.  I don't recall a consensus on the issue, and I think its important for us to be clear one way or the other.

Steve, please can you call me to discuss these: 970.898.6788

- Mick
