Hi all,
This is my initial brain dump for what I think we might expect from a statement of use.
***
There is no prescribed format or wording for the statement of use. What we're asking for is a short text which contains as much of the following information as is applicable to your situation.
Our organisation (name, identification) has implemented/is implementing/is using DMLex in the following software.
Name of the software.
Publicly accessible URL with information about the software, if any.
Location of source code repository, of any.
Licencing status: is it open-source, which licence?
The software is currently in development/in staging/in production.
The software is intended for our internal use/available to the public.
What genre of software is it? What does it actually do? E.g. a dictionary writing system, a format-to-format converter...
In which DMLex serialisation does the software import/export/open/save data? In what data structure does it keep data at run-time, if applicable? E.g. XML, RDF, relational database...
Which parts of DMLex does the software implement?
- Core only
- Core and all modules
- Core and some modules:
- Crosslingual module
- Controlled values module
- Linking module
- Annotation module
- Etymology module
Does the software extend DMLex with any functionality not provided for in DMLex? If yes, how?

We'll be discussing this at our Halloween meeting (31 October).
