Thanks Michael,
I looked at your extensions and made a few comments on the comments.
Let me add two points in this email.
– RDA DFIG should focus on specification and of course integrate all kinds of knowledge and experience which is around. It also should make statements about compliance of components etc. Uptake and deciding about certain real software needs to be discussed carefully, since RDA groups should avoid making statements about products. This needs to be left to policy groups observing RDA activities. The reason for this is simple: RDA needs to remain a neutral meeting place as far as possible and not a place for people who want to “make PR for their products”. It will not always be easy, but …
– Organizing uptake, encouraging towards solutions is something RDA Europe (which is a project) will do. We will give training courses, give advice, give even some support etc. This will include software solutions that are compliant with the RDA specs.
Hope you agree.
Peter
