[infod-wg] Chapters 1 and 2 of the Base Spec

I have just gone through chapter 1. I note that it says:

"The INFOD registry will only select those publishers to act on
subscription who understand the vocabulary that is referenced in that
subscription; the same applies to consumers."

I just want to confirm that this is incorrect as the data vocabulary
of the consumer is not necessarily known to the registry according to
what we discussed last week.

The next problem is the set of goals. The full set of requirements are
set out with a note saying that #9 is not satisfied by the base
spec. From my understanding we only satisfy 0-4 and 8 and I would
propose to renumber 8 as 5 and drop 5-7and 9-12 from the base spec.

This is rather fundamental to our understanding of the spec. If anyone
thinks that I am throwing out too much I am happy to argue requirement
by requirement.

Have I got it wrong?

Steve
