A couple of notes about the just-published cloud processing model report:
First, the notes in red are designed to be used as suggested starting points for discussions as to where and how the report might be improved
Second, the algorithmic modelling report the report references isn’t yet a full Community Group report, since the Algorithmic Modelling Community Group had’t graduated from proposed status by the time of the report’s publication. This will be remedied, however, once that group’s status changes
Comments on this developing standard are, as always, welcome 🙂
