[wg11] [Fwd: Reference Metamodel for EXPRESS Information Modeling Language RFC available]

[Ed Barkmeyer]

All,

This is the beginning of the OMG fast-track standardization process.

The web page referenced below is the OMG work-in-progress page for the 
RFC, which may not be accessible to non-OMG-members.  The RFC 
specification itself is at:
   http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?mantis/08-02-05
and that page should be publicly accessible.

The comment period is open until end of May, 2008.
All comments should be posted to
   rfc-comments at omg.org
and I don't think you have to be an OMG member to post them.
(If the email is rejected, post comments to wg11 at steptools.com, and we 
will forward.)

"Significant concerns", such as conflict with other standards, 
incomplete coverage, major implementation concerns for the approach, 
should be raised at this time, and may prevent OMG adoption.

"Minor technical issues" can also be raised, and they must be addressed 
by a Finalization Task Force (Editing Committee) before publication of 
the v1.0 specification.

Thanks to all the MEXICO project participants (listed on the cover) who 
contributed to this effort, and in particular to Uwe Kaufmann, David 
Price, and Bernd Wenzel, who championed this work at various times and 
places.  Thanks also to Drs Sanderson, Spiby, Maier, and Wilson, on 
whose prior work this specification was originally based.

-Ed
