Re: the current draft http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=22043 (1) - slight modifications to the templates were published on Friday: http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/ ... but I have not had time to update the DocBook-based flavour of these. (2) - section 3.2 introduces the three available document elements for a genericode serialization of the abstract model, and gives a very short definition with which one distinguishes them ... yet section 3.3 only appears (by its title) to be talking about the first of the three "column sets" ... there isn't a 3.4 and 3.5 to talk about "code lists" and "code list sets" ... can the subsections of section 3 be arranged more symmetrically so that after each of the three kinds of document are introduced there is a bit more detail about each one? Perhaps, then, a section 4 can be the model of each one, but if someone wants more information about the distinction of each of the three, they could read that in section 3 without having to delve into the model. The first paragraphs of section 3.3 would do well to describe what I think is needed in section 3 for column sets ... can we have the same for code lists and code list sets, then when someone wants to go into more detail they can go to the model chapter? (3) - if I do choose to have a column set document defining my columns, how does a code list document utilize a column set document instead of using its own column set definitions? I see in the column set definition that it can be identified by a location URI, but how does a code list utilize that location URI? At this point the detailed information ends at the end of 3.3 ... thanks for this Tony, I'm looking forward to seeing how this grows. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
