Feedback on first draft
Strategizing release
- list of implementations similar to W3C
- How close is LOC and Getty? Can they serve as implementations?
- producers are often consumers - adopting this will facilitate their own usage
- allows for common tool sets that consume change documents
- reach out for feedback from major authorities, prioritizing those with larger change rates as they will benefit more from this
- some are mid-decision about how they will approach providing data to the public, so this could be good timing to influence their approach
- producers concerns
- want to know that consumers will consume
- reach out to individually
- developer time is generally already committed, how to get it on their workplan?
- consumer concerns
- want to know that producers will use it
- reach out through conferences, user groups
- if high adoption, only need one consuming implementation to consume all producer streams
- create reference implementation for LOC and Getty to demonstrate value
- feedback
- for initial documentation (e.g. 6 week period for review and feedback before 1.0 version)
- for reference implementations allowing documentation to be modified over time (e.g. need additional change types, changes to processes for producing and consuming)
...
Future Topics
- Notification to a single institution when a requested entity that was missing becomes available. This will likely be outside the main change management stream.
- Value of diagraming to express changes as a means of conveying information around where data is being produced, where it goes, etc.
- Partial splits and partial merges.
