I tried to encapsulate this in a tweet yesterday, saying "Standardization, properly, should be the process of formulation and formalisation of the terms of collective commitment".

Putting together a good interoperability specification is hard, and especially so for competence. I've tried to work into InLOC as many of the considerations in this Logic of Competence series as I could, but these are all limited by the scope of a pragmatically plausible goal. My hypothesis is that it's not possible to have a spec that is at the same time both technically simple and flexible, and intuitively understandable to domain practitioners.]]> http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/asimong/2013/02/27/pragmatics-of-inloc/feed/ http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/asimong/2012/12/19/future-learners-technology/ http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/asimong/2012/12/19/future-learners-technology/#comments Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:41:41 +0000 Simon Grant http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/asimong/?p=1414 meeting took place, including old "Portfolio" SIG participants, on 11th Dec in Nottingham, and many interesting points came up.]]> http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/asimong/2012/12/19/future-learners-technology/feed/ http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/asimong/2012/11/30/inloc-lack-of-posts/ http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/asimong/2012/11/30/inloc-lack-of-posts/#comments Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:48:11 +0000 Simon Grant http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/asimong/?p=1398 InLOC has been taking up more and more of my non-CETIS time, and along with other pressures, I have not got round to posting here for two whole months.
