Re: relationship between the deliverables

Hi Frans,

The UCR is really about documenting the ground trust on which the rest 
of the WG's work should be based. In effect it creates a more detailed 
version of the charter. If we find that use cases demand extra 
deliverables then we invoke the final sentence of that section: "Subject 
to its capacity, the working group may choose to develop additional 
relevant vocabularies and specifications in response to community 
demand. For example: a standard method for converting between spatial 
ontologies; methods to access a subset of a large dataset in terms of 
its spatial component."

If one is not needed, or the WG doesn't have the capacity to deliver it, 
then it asks for forgiveness...

A charter is about setting expectations and the broad scope of the WG's 
work. The UCR provides the detail.

And you know my next question - are you in?

Phil.
