    I just read the modifications to the document.

    I'm a bit concerned that the definition of MediaUsed.MediaAccountingKey
    ("The locally unique accounting key for this specific media, for use
    when MediaUsed.MediaSizeName is not unique.") might not be sufficient to
    convey your requirement for this item. What is meant by an "accounting
    key"? Is that a generally well-defined term? I couldn't find the
    definition anywhere in this document.

    Based on the example provided for its use, there seems to be an implicit
    intent to have the value provide *two* critical pieces of information --
    presumably in some human readable form that convey an association of two
    distinct things. In my reading, "The locally unique accounting key for
    this specific media, for use when MediaUsed.MediaSizeName is not
    unique." doesn't suggest a need to identify two "things" -- or what
    those things are.

    But maybe everyone else understands the meaning of "accounting key" more
    clearly than I do?

    Subject: WIMS> Revision to Counter Spec

     
    Jerry provided the MS Word version of the approved counter spec, and I
    made the changes that Ira and Pete had requested (taking a few liberties
    with the wording). A marked up doc file is at
     
    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/wd/wd-wimscount10-20070201.doc
    (sorry, I am back in Boulder and do not have my PDF generator)
     
    The changes are to document page 8 (Datastream change) and to document
    pages 27 and 28 (MediaUsed.MediaAccountingKey addition)
     
    This working draft is submitted for working group review, with the
    objective of be able to submit it for a PWG review period including the
    February face to face. Please review and submit objections before the
    next WIMS/CIM meeting on 8 Feb.
     
    Thank you.
     
    Bill Wagner
