Referencing UCR-MapML-Matrix #172

Closed Malvoz closed 3 years ago

Malvoz commented 3 years ago

The Use Cases and Requirements section currently states:

This document is being evaluated against the Use Cases and Requirements for Standardizing Web Maps.

IMO this section should reference the UCR MapML Fullfillment Matrix, I was thinking something along the lines of (improvements are welcome, of course):

This document is being evaluated against the Use Cases and Requirements for Standardizing Web Maps.

See the MapML Use Case, Requirement, and Capability Matrix for how MapML compares in capabilities in contrast to existing popular web mapping libraries.

But in this case, is linking evaluated to the evaluation issues redundant? Although it encourages others to engage in the evaluation, I'm not sure it's really all that useful.

The MapML Proposal has a similar section that should reflect any such changes.

Looks good to me.

I have found that when discussing the feature requirements, it can be quite surprising what is and is not a shared understanding, so I thought and think it might be useful to have a place for discussion. In fact if it's not obvious that a requirement is fulfilled by an example, it should be possible to link to that discussion from the UCR Fulfillment matrix and/or the example itself to find out the why's and the wherefores of requirements undershoot.
