Re: Last telecon: discussion about use cases

Hello,

Yes, I think I can propose one or two use cases. I will try to add 
something soon.

Frankly, I have only a very general use case in mind: Getting geospatial 
data to work on the WWW. And I see some worrying gaps in the current 
specifications for that. But I will try to word this use case in such a 
way that I hope it will be compatible with other use cases.

As for the place of use cases in the structure of the wiki: How about 
creating a separate page for each use case?  In general, it seems a good 
idea to me to make separate pages for separate things. That should give 
us a nice amount of freedom in interlinking those pages and creating 
summary pages or tables of content. With this approach we could also 
postpone having to have an obligatory format for use cases.

The same could go for the specifications we like to describe or 
evaluate: they could be on separate pages too.

Greetings,
Frans
