Subject: RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] Interoperability test requirements for ECF1.1
Dallas,
Here are some initial reactions to your five proposed levels of interoperability.
1. I would group Levels 1 and 2 as the basic conformance requirement. Without Level 2, half of the original business case (and most of the business case on the court side) potentially goes away. The Georgia tests showed that interoperability at Level 1 is not. 2. I would group Levels 3 and 4 because most case initiation filings cannot be completed without a filing fee.
This leaves you with three meaningful conformance levels. I agree with the sequence for achieving those conformance levels.

From our experience in the Georgia interoperability test, and as I read about other installations or the comments from other interested participants in a test, I became concerned what the success of an interoperability test really means. Does the interoperability test imply that any court can rely on the standard to implement live filings if the test was a success? What is the definition of a success? Is a test declared a success if only portions of the filing process were tested? (no case initiation, no fees, etc.) OR, are we merely saying that the interoperability test has moved us closer to a more complete solution. I think that if we break the interoperability test into smaller conformance tests then success of each level will have greater meaning.
The document that I have attached describes 5 levels of conformance testing. Each level increases the complexities of interoperability. It also exposes the issues at each level that we have seen as we progress with court filings. Conformance levels such as these will allow a vendor to identify areas that they have tested against, and successfully conformed to or partial conformed to. It also gives the Certification Sub-committee more identifiable areas to put certification policies in place. I fear that trying to test everything, all at once will make it very difficult to identify failure points or levels of success.
Please accept the attached document as my input.
