    Subject: RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] Comment period for existing artifacts


    Thanks, Don.� Allow me to summarize your comments in terms of changes to the artifacts...please check whether I have it right:

    1.� Many types and elements in the domain model have not been given definitions.� This should be pursued by the TC as a medium-priority task (i.e., needs to be done, but shouldn't derail us).� Some definitions will require domain expertise; others will require technical expertise.

    SC comment: Solicit domain expert input from the TC...any volunteers for this task?

    2.� Suggest renaming of classes DevelopmentPolicyParameters and RuntimePolicyParameters in the CourtPolicy diagram to remove the plurals.

    SC comment:� In general I agree that classes should have singular names, and plurality should be addressed with cardinality, but in this case, we've lumped a number of parameters into a single class (DevelopmentPolicyParameters), so the name seems appropriate.� Like the java.util.Properties class in Java.� Suggest discussion on a conference call.

    3.� Suggest changing cardinality of associations between CourtPolicyMessage and the two "parameters" classes (DevelopmentPolicyParameters and RuntimePolicyParameters) to 1..*.� This will effect allowing courts to have multiple profiles.

    SC comment:� I agree with the spirit of the suggestion, but would recommend we accomplish it by adding an intervening class, called CourtPolicy, that is 1..1 with the two "parameters" classes, and 1..* with the message.� This more neatly encapsulates the concept I think you're after.

    4.� Suggest changing name of class FiduciaryCaseInformation in the CivilFiling diagram to something that avoids a narrowly-defined legal term of art.

    SC comment:� OK.� Suggested alternatives?� We'll need domain expert input.

    5.� Suggest changing name of MarriageInformation in the DomesticFiling diagram to DomesticLegalRelationship.

    SC comment:� Seems reasonable to me as a non-expert.� Need domain expert input.

    6.� Suggest adding cardinality information for each attribute and association in the documentation.html file.

    SC comment:� This will be easy to do, and I'll do it.
