I think we need at least one specific current example of an "umbrella specification" to illustrate and support our current text in ViS (since this is a new term to be in ViS but not in SpecGL, and we have examples of other aspects in ViS already). If there is no such example of an "umbrella specification" to be found, then what is our motivation for describing an "umbrella specification" (to indicate current "best practice" or to point to a reference to aspire to for the future)? Thanks and best wishes Tim Boland NIST PS - Is the reference to XML Schema Part 2 in the current text meant to be such an example of an umbrella specification? If so, than the reference should be explicitly labelled as such. It is not clear to me from reading the current text that XML Schema Part 2 is in fact an example of an umbrella specification; does the use of the word "It" before the reference refer to "specification" (defined previously in the same section) or to "umbrella specification" (not defined previously in that section (but following?))? The reference to OWL implies that an umbrella specification could be created in the future, not that one exists now.
