Yes,
but there are also links to comments solicited on every paragraph, so
for
those interested in contributing, the door is open it appears. I expect
that
web services could benefit from such standards.

Yeesh! Talk about
labyrinthian efforts. A quick read of the document suggests this is a
compilation, with sections provided by individuals or working groups, that is
not as cohesive as it could (or should) be- more like a committee draft in
great need of further revision. Nonetheless it is a good start on identifying
interest areas and activities in the standards informatics sector, with regard
for US National Priorities. Clearly points to what many have said at
various times about many interest-areas and the status of efforts toward
interoperability and standardization. In my case this emphasis has been
on discussions about the lack of system-wide agency/organization
liaisons for the holistic development of interoperable heritage informatics,
e.g., there is no systematic
liaison between agencies and organizations to address establishment
of National Priorities for Human Biological and Cultural Heritage
Informatics (NPHuBCHI)), and what is needed to accomplish that, for
example, is a
National Heritage Information Clearinghouse and Communications Infrastructure
(NHICCI), not to mention the International issues that arise- and that is
truly labyrinthian.
