I don't really believe that there is a clean demarcation line between the scopes of these two Task Forces. For each item of work we may choose a single home, but that choice sometimes will be arbitrary. The Semantic Integration note is a case in point. This is not a problem in my view. As long as we don't have turf battles or contradictory notes. Its better to spend time writing notes than writing careful scope descriptions. (Now, if I could just find some time to write either!) -Evan
