<<I suggest we should investigate adding a layer-of-indirection whereby a RP would assert the need for the "humanly displayable name" attribute profile, possibly using an entity attribute.>> Now this is a potential use case for checking in with Canadian, David Webber to see if his OASIS CAM (Content Assembly Mechanism) can do the job here.... of course he will always say it can, but will it...

Thanks Joni,

I think the group intends to ask this question of itself. I tried to put this out there in the first call, that based on investigation we may find ourselves moving across covered ground in which case the question posed is valid.

That is the reason we creating a parking space on the wiki for any existing schema, so if we are redundant put the evidence here.

And that being said I think we also want to look beyond simply schemas and to trust/source and use in addition to the bi-lateral, multi-lateral and scale issues you rightfully raise.

Best,

Sal

In the spirit of "something called for" I've heard grumblings regarding the desire (need?) for an org to take on comprehensive attribute schema mapping. I see from search that some of this appears to be happening at a bi-lateral level but perhaps not on a larger multi-lateral scale. Do AM-DG people/orgs have thoughts about this and could it be an interesting track to pursue?

Best, =Joni
