[regrep] Presentations and questions

The overview presentation I gave and the tutorial presentation and case studies Monica presented are now posted on the ebXML Registry home page under the "Documents" section, in a subsection titled "Presentations" http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/regrep/#documents .  In addition, here are the questions that were raised during the panel discussion.

*	Use of packages, how to organize items in a registry?
*	Taxonomies and classifications, what's the difference?
*	OAIS: integrity of objects over time
*	How to integrate 11179 and ebXML
*	Persistent locations in registries (DRIve)
*	How to register namespaces?
*	Multi-lingual capabilities
*	URI for RegistryObject

The third question (Integrity of objects over time) was asked specifically by Derek Lane, from EPA.  More detail on his question follows:

1. Comparison between the two concepts ebXML Reg/Rep with OAIS [Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS)]
2. Capability to ensure integrity of objects over time
3. If a checksum may be required to ensure that the object is what was submitted over time (mentioned by Lane in discussion).

Please respond with answers on the third question (details 1-3 above) directly to the list and Derek Lane at   The link to OAIS is at: http://ssdoo.gsfc.nasa.gov/nost/isoas/overview.html

Please also feel free to discuss each of the other questions above on the list.  This is a good opportunity to address some of these questions, and possibly consider for version 4.0 or as topics of best practice papers!
