WG request

• The Negation project team is trying to provide consistent guidelines for representing concepts typically described as "negation" (finding absent, procedure not done, etc.).
• We have begun by assembling a catalog of statements that seem to use negation. Our goal is to collect as many as possible and then classify them in order to derive a finite set of negation patterns. These patterns can be used for two things: to inform some best practice guidance on representing negated statements, and to provide design teams with a way to test their formalisms against a catalog of potential requirements.
• We would very much like for the <WG name> workgroup to review our list of requirements.
• We are asking domain expert groups for either confirmation that our list addresses all of the real world negation requirements you would expect a design formalism to support or, if it doesn't, additional requirements.
• We are asking design groups for input on how such a list can be made more useful to a design team, either by confirming that the semantic pattern and design mapping approaches look useful or, if they don't, suggestions for improvement.
• Further information about the scope of the project is available on the wiki; we also would be happy to attend a call to answer any questions.
• Would <WG name> be able to appoint a representative to conduct such a review and provide feedback to our team? Feedback can be sent directly to me or added to the Use Case spreadsheet on the wiki.
• We'd like your feedback by the end of August, and will discuss in Baltimore Tuesday Q4.
