Discussion points …
  1. Names, dates, calendar issues, places, etc. and then the larger issue of subdividing information / separating evidence and conclusion. (Quantum genealogy!)
  2. Parameters Catalog (vs requirements catalog); some terminology to convey that work continues to build consensus about the requirements. (as opposed to a requirements catalog which establishes something closer to the framework for a software development project).
  3. See links for the Sources and Citations section-
    1. file/view/Sources%20and%20Citation%20data%20model%20DRAFT%20v%200.4%2027nov2011.pdf
    2. A+Data+Model+for+Sources+and+Citations
  4. Evidence and Conclusions section. Is less polished
