Cataloging LDP White Paper: Categorization
OK guys and gals,
You're treading on my turn now ;-). You've forced my to open my hand
;-)
Yes, David and I have some overlap. However, now that I'm letting
another cat out of the bag as to what I'm working on, I think we should
put together a formal document which everyone can comment on and which
will be posted. As I've stated before, I look at my work as working on a
SYSTEM for LDP. A SYSTEM is something like designing a car, ALL of is
should work together. David, your work on metrics is an integral part of
what I'm doing just as much as my cataloging affects your work. I also
think, that if we have a more formalized approach, it shows consistency
within the group as well as makes it easier to follow and contribute.
First things first, I think we need to look at the "Big Picture" and see
where we're going before we get into the details. That means that we
should, at least for the moment, try and outline where we want to go
with the LDP, i.e. what do we want the LDP to look like in the near
future?
Again, think in terms of a SYSTEM. All of the parts have to work
together, the first things first is identifying the big parts
(cataloging, metrics, reorganization of docs, etc.) and putting them
into a cohesive whole so we can all see what's going on and help with a
sense of direction. Without that bigger picture, we'll be lost in the
details. When people have a sense of direction, it's easier to follow
and contribute.
OK, here goes folks. The BIG CAT is now out of the bag (at least from
the idea standpoint, I'm still working on it). I would expect that each
LDP document would have this matrix below which would be meta data.
Again, THIS IS A PART OF A WHOLE WHICH I'M WORKING ON AND IS NOT
COMPLETE!! I've got to the end of November before I need to look for
work, so this project is my full time work until then.
