RE: [RRG] RRG process clarification

["Tony Li" <tony.li@tony.li>]

Hi Brian,


|I realised that this apparent disagreement is because we've
|been implictly assuming that the only valid taxonomy for solutions
|is a hierarchy. If you root your hierarchy in the upper layer
|viewpoint, you get a different tree than if you root it in
|the routing viewpoint.
|
|What we actually need is a facet-based taxonomy. That is what
|someone (Melinda Shore, to be precise) pointed out to Scott Brim
|and me when we were developing RFC 3234. If we describe things
|that way, I suspect we won't disagree at all.
|
|[Google will find lots of stuff about facet-based taxonomies,
|and their inventor S.R. Ranganathan, e.g.
|http://www.miskatonic.org/library/facet-web-howto.html ]


Thank you very much.  I think that's very intriguing.  I encourage other
folks to check it out.

Tony
