[DDI-users] DDI Examples Google Code repository

[Randy Banks]

Sam -

Cheers for this, which is Very Helpful.

I like your 3-way classification, distinguishing the (simple and 
complex) hypothetical from the (practical) actual, but wonder if 
examples in the latter basket should include an explicit 
copyright/licensing statement to make it clear that the examples can be 
used by others for equally practical purposes.

More generally, the two examples you provide suggest that this facility 
could provide the basis for co-operative development and/or sharing of 
other coding standards, as well as potentially project-specific 
examples; standard industrial and occupational classifications are two 
that immediately come to mind.

Should the 'practical' tree be further subdivided to organise such things?

Thanks again.
