Experiences:SN observed two implementation methods:

• Method 1– Implementation specifically aimed at the message

for SN (instance oriented): – easy implementation for software builder – problems anticipated with changing taxonomies,

application/changes:- Implementation more complex – Easy to expand for future changes in taxonomy,

validation, quality controls
