Duplicate repositories and reasons for confusion #358

Open spetrac opened 4 years ago

spetrac commented 4 years ago

There is another repository for the IDS-InformationModel with a previous version of the current information model. If you are aware of that fact, it is not be a problem, but it happended to me and it might happen pretty much also to others, who search for the info model on google, that you clone the wrong repository and wonder, why the last update was 2 years ago or worse, don't even notice it at all.

In the long run it would be really nice, if all official repositories (e.g. trusted-connector, which is under active development) would move to the new International-Data-Spaces-Association instead of residing in the old industrial-data-space collaboration, which leads to much uncertainty. In the meantime, at least the readme should give a big red hint and a link to the actual repository. It would also be nice, if e.g. the descriptions there would be updated to reflect the current name and abbreviation of the IDSA instead of still showing the previous name, which leads to confusion and hurts consolidation of the associations name.
