Minutes QA WG teleconf
AI-20050620-3 Karl to send draft of umbrella section to Dave, Lynne,
200506222
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa-wg/2005Jun/0040
First try. Lynne, Dave, I will help to write if there are things
which are not clear, ask me. It helps me at the same time to propose
a better structure if needed.
Outline proposal:
Umbrella Specifications
- Web Technology and Specifications
+ What is a Web technology?
set of technical requirements defined by inclusion and/or by
reference and creating a coherent technological area.
+ What is a specification
a document which defines fully a technology or part of a
technology. At W3C, it's a document which must follow rules,
requirements defined in the Process document.
+ Web Tech/Specification Interaction (Monolithic/Multiple)
a techno can be entirely defined by a one document and
usually inclusion of references or divided in a series of documents.
- Multiple Spec Techno
+ Why does a WG choose to define a Web technology by having
multiple specifications?
For Editing reasons, For making parts reusable in different
contexts, for following the abstract divisions of the technology.
+ What are the consequences of this choice? What kind of
problems occurs?
Introducing variability, problems of usability, of
references, conformance requirements difficulties, Process related
problems (CR phase?), ...
- Solution for a Multiple Spec Techno.
+ What should be an Umbrella Specification?
+ What should include such a document?
+ What are the benefits for the WG?
+ What are the benefits for the implementers?
