Roman & All; SVN is updated with your suggested changes, and I have added some comments in the tex files for items that are still outstanding.
- I'm wondering whether we can say in 4.3.3 that the request with more data triggers includes logical independent sub-requests
The concept of chaining is also something that Martin and I have struggled to find a proper location. Chaining is explained in sections 5 and 6 of the above NM-WG document currently. I think the basics should remain in NM-WG since the concept of the chain is essential to the definition of data and metadata. We may be able to reference the basic concept though to motivate some of the more unique cases.
Agree. Main description in NM-WG doc and only the reference to it in NMC-WG doc (with some additional information related with NMC). This way we'll keep consistency. Now I see two names for the same thing: operation chaining (NM-WG doc) and filter chaining (NMC-WG doc).
There may be some consistency problems since these were written at different times. Martin: what name where we going to stick with? I can make the changes to either document when we decide. -jason
I'm also thinking that maybe filer chaining fits better into NMC-WG (it deals more with action than data/metadata representation).
