Dear Alex,
perhaps should we form an Interoperability SC within the UOML TC and
then coordinate back here? I think that there obviously needs to be some
technical, specification work to be done at the strict level of
interoperability, so forming the SC here might be a good choice. Of
course the Adoption TC needs to be involved as well.
Regards,
Charles-H. Schulz.
