Re: Use Case document

Ivan,

The original question was posed by Eric P (RDF Data Shapes Working Group)
the first morning, I'm not sure if he had seen the use case document.   It
seemed to be related to the situation where an external reader who has a
background in another domain could relate to use cases already identified
in our document.

In order to orient themselves, would they need to read the entire
document?  Should they start with the requirements?  Or perhaps another
approach that could be used such as a reference table summarizing the CSV
usage in each scenario as a capabilities need.

Cheers,

Eric
