RE: [uima] Building Sub-Groups -- Your Input Required

Hi,

 

My preferred groups to work:

 

3)       Type system base model

       2)     type
system language

       8)   
Aggregate Analytics 

      10)  
Java binding 

 

 

For the meeting time, I have no real
preference. All propositions works well for EST time

 

 

Face to face meeting:  I prefer the
Text Analytics Summit on June in Boston.

 

Best,

 

Pascal

Subject: [uima] Building
Sub-Groups -- Your Input Required

 

Hi, 

On
the last call we decided to form small maybe 2-3 person subgroups to
"own" different elements of the specification going forward. 

The
idea is that each sub-group would do a deep-dive on a proposed element of the
specification in the IBM paper (e.g., CAS, Type-System, Abstract interfaces
etc.). 

The
initial task would be to critique the section, identify issues and make
recommendations on how to take it forward to a final form. The TC as a whole
would vote on the sub-groups' recommendations and action plans. The sub-groups
would then take on the task to implement the agreed-upon action plan.

Sub-groups
will have leads whose responsibility it will be to share evolving
comments/questions/issues as part of an email discussion with the whole TC.
This is a critical component of the plan since the biweekly meeting will NOT
suffice if everyone had to come up to speed on  recommendations during the
calls. 

Please
read the following sections in the paper (if you have not already) and send me
your preferences for leading and/or joining 2 or more of the following areas. I
think it is important to have non-IBM participation on all of these. Please
also note that some of these sections are more straightforward than others and
I imagine will take less time/effort. 

1.
CAS Specification 

2.
Type-system Language 

3.
Type-System Base Model 

4.
Behavioral Meta-Data Specification (challenging issues here) 

5.
Processing Element Meta-data specification 

6.
Abstract Interfaces 

7.
WSDL Service Descriptions 

8.
Aggregate Analytic Descriptor Specification 

9.
SOAP Bindings 

10.
Java Bindings (proposed as an appendix by TC but not in original paper)

(PLEASE
RESPOND BY MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK -- Thanks.) 

Discussion
Topics (or what may be considered open issues) are discussed in section 7 of
the paper. These may turn into core specifications, or may more likely lead to
recommendations rather than core specifications. This section has a number of
sub-sections.They will require different treatment, any thoughts? 

We
can decide on an approach for these at the next call. 

Thanks,
