Greeting everyone. I've just gotten caught up on the recent discussion on the mailing list and wanted to send some comments on the Research Drivers document. I hope that these are still relevant in light of yesterday's meeting. These comments span both particulars to that document and broader issues --- it should be clear which comments are which. Nick Matsakis Comments on Section 2: Problem Definition 2.1. I think it might be worthwhile to strengthen the connections between the different problem domains of SIMILE in this section. The overarching problem I see here is that of providing an architecture for information search and retrieval that is scalable across the personal, community, institutional, and global domains. These correspond roughly to haystack, [?], libraries, and semantic web problem statements. Beginning the section with a statement to this effect might help provide more context. Of course, as stated this is a huge and ill-defined task. So, perhaps some language that grounds things in the realm of metadata interoperability would be useful too. My only other comment on this section is that I find the research funnel diagram in 2.2 confusing. A brief text description of each component and its relation to the others might suffice.
