Hi Bob,
You’re right, tools are secondary, standards and protocols are more meaningful in the context of a standardization WG.
I add it to my todo list and share it when it’s done.
Do you have a higher-res version of the image below? It’s not easi to distinguish the format acronyms.
Thanks,
Colin

Colin,
Thanks so much for sharing this info. As I mentioned on yesterday's call, Freescale is just beginning to plan a "next generation" content creation / management / delivery platform architecture (5 years into any implementation seems to be a good point to step back and ask "what could we do better?"). So right now we don't have a similar diagram to share.
But I wonder if we might not take a slight twist on the diagram you've shared? In our discussion yesterday we talked a bit about markup and classification standards and how they interrelate. Perhaps the conversation within the context of the SIDSC should be more focused at that level of the "stack" rather than the specific tool implementations such as shown in your diagram. For example, in the Create column, could we remove the product names and icons and replace them with the names of the standards, file formats and technologies used in each of those? Then we could show the relationships between those nodes, which will represent the required data flows / transforms that will (potentially) impact the approach taken by the SIDSC.
For example, I've been using this diagram since 2006 to "focus" the vision of the XML-based content flows we're designing at Freescale:
(this particular instantiation is from my presentation to the Best Practices Conference in 2011)
Does this sound like a reasonable approach to collaboration on the use of these various standards, and to guide the development of the SIDSC standard?

Hi all,
Thanks everyone for your attention and your constructive reactions.
Please find attached the slide we showed yesterday. It shows our future system architecture for next year. I’ve added notes to explain what is what.
It would be interesting other companies also share their plans, we might find common patterns.
Best regards,

For those who could not participate in today's teleconference, the recording replay is available @
https://www147.livemeeting.com/cc/freescale/view?id=sidsc-121024
The primary topic of discussion was one of content lifecycle best practices guided by a proposed high-level system architecture presented by NXP. I strongly recommend that you spend the time to listen through the session.
To everyone, let's make good use of the email list to continue the conversation!
Respectfully,
