The requirements.xsd now contains schemas for Terms that now also include market requirements. Terms contain resource specific and more generic terms. The top level EMIX artifact requires terms even though many of those terms are electric power and electric resource specific. Since EMIX may be used for natural gas and other commodities where intervals of time are key, we should not burden those applications with having to understand not electric power Terms and especially non- electric power Terms Terms related to power should be in Power.xsd. Terms related to resources should be in resources.xsd. The general structure for terms and any generally applicable Terms should be in emix.xsd. Additionally I believe that market requirements Terms are mislabeled. They characterize part of a resource offer by a party (or VEN) to counter party (or VTN) including a resource offer to an ISO. It is not a requirement of an ISO to pay startup cost for a resource although many may if requested by the resource offered. The above are not new comments by me, but long standing requests I have repeated a number of times. Edward G.
