  • Next message: William A Wagner: "RE: WIMS> CIM> What is the W for?"

    Bill, sounds great. Only comment from me... didn't "S" used to stand for
    "Services"? Will we, in the future, risk feeling now that the groups
    efforts are LIMITED to semantics (whereas, semantics can always be viewed
    as supporting services)?

    I like "Workgroup for Imaging Management Semantics". Odd that we hadn?t
    thought of ?Work?? before.
     
    Any objections?
     
    Thanks,

    How about "Workgroup for Imaging Management Semantics" -- that way we
    don't need to explain the missing "G."

    Hi,

    So, "Working Group for Imaging Management Semantics (WIMS)"

    Bill is quite right that Services is not the correct scope.

    A precedent is IETF PWG (Printer Working Group, originally
    chartered for RFC 1179 and later for RFC 1759).

    Cheers,
    - Ira
