Informational Doc on translating NM-WG - NML
Hello, As some of you know, I've worked several weeks at Internet2 last year. While I was there, we worked on translating between the format the DICE IDC uses and NDL. I've written a report on this, detailling the translation and highlighting some issues that we encountered while implementing the translation. The document can be found at:http://staff.science.uva.nl/~vdham/research/publications/DCN-NDL-Translation... I would like to submit this to the OGF as an informational document. I can do this personally, or from the NML WG. I would prefer the latter, does anyone disagree? Jeroen.

I think this is a useful contribution. I have no strong preference where it is published, but since the main audience is authors of the NML schema, I would endorse that it is uploaded somewhere to the NML site. Publication as NML-WG document would be a straightforward way to accomplish that. In fact, I do encourage more of these contributions! For example, if the revised UNIS schema made by Internet2 is not published elsewhere (e.g. in the NM-WG or NMC-WG), I would say that the NML-WG is a good place for that. The only condition I would like to see is that there should be no confusion on the status of these kind of documents. A naive reader should not mistake it for "the" NML schema. In this particular case, I don't see that risk, as it is an "informational" document and does not define a schema itself. Regards, Freek
Agree that this is the appropriate venue and approach (re: informational). Thanks; -jason

Since there has only be positive comments, we will take this forward. Unless there are some last-minute remarks why this should not be submitted as-is, I will sent it to the OGF editor later this week. Jeroen, Greg likes to have the source as well. Could you provide that off-list? Thanks, Freek
