Assumptions

1. The CTWG process MUST not hold up work being preformed by other WGs.
2. Term definitions arise based on situation context; Overtime that context may change thereby deprecating the definition.

Input

CONSUMABLE: Our users (ToIP Foundation) need to be able to easily submit content for maturation.

• Item Submission ---> Most Granular artifact == TERM

  • Required (See Basic Term Data Model)
    • Name
    • Definition
  • CTWG Process Additions
    • Meta-Data
      • Clarification Attributes: Terms, Words, Concepts, etc
    • Tags (discovery, generation)

• On-Time Pull:

  • Extract concepts from exiting sources
    • Sovrin
    • NIST
    • DIF (?)
  • All extracted content is MAPPED to the basic format (TERM)

• Automated Source Monitoring

  • Ongoing (automated) process for extracting content from existing sources that are still evolving.
    • ESSIF Lab
    • W3C Specs (DID, VCreds)
  • All extracted content is MAPPED to the basic format (TERM)

Maturation

We need to define a process whereby each ITEM (regardless of input source) is managed in a consistent format for maturation.

General Assumptions

Input Workflows

• Item Submission
  • Who are the stakeholders?
  • Phases
    • Clarification
    • Proposal
    • Accepted (ready for WG blessed output)
  • NOTE: Glossaries should be able to be produced regardless of any Workflow state.

Basic Term Data Model

• We need a BASIC/COMMON data model for all items

The suggested Markdown should be used as a template for the GitHub TERM Issue Form.

PanDoc is a well know OS process for taking Markdown and outputting a variety of rendering formats.

Output

We need to provide/suggest/support processes for generation of various renderings of the content we manage:

• Domain Glossaries
  • Website
  • PDF
  • Markdown
  • other

NOTE: See Issue #22
