RE: Approach to USDL variant management

Dear all,
since there is no audio and we did  not take separate notes of your feedback could you please:


-          Recap the feedback you gave

-          Let us know if there are alternate approaches which we might have missed

-          Give us your general thoughts whether we should follow this path

Would be nice if you could do so until our next regular call on 21st of March.

Sorry for the inconvenience
Daniel

PS: Please reply to the mailinglist, if possible

Dear USDL interested colleagues,

Thanks again for that lively discussion and feedback in yesterday's call about USDL Variant management. Please find the minutes in our Wiki at http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/usdl/wiki/2011-03-09_Approach_to_USDL_variant_management. You can also review the slides there. Unfortunately, the recording did not work as expected. We'll give it another try when we present this to Mr. Jaffe.

Best Regards,
Kay Kadner

Dear Members and potential users of USDL,

One important issue for a language like USDL is the management of variants and deviations from the original specification. In other words, we expect that various versions will be derived from the original USDL, where each of these versions will be dedicated to some specific domain, like car repair, financing, health, or simply countries. In this call, we present an approach to handle these variations. Of course, we like to discuss that with you and get feedback and opinions about that approach.

Please find the dial-in details below. We are looking forward to a lively discussion.

Best Regards,
Kay Kadner
