[DDI-CDG] Some summaries

[Reto Hadorn]

Hi Mari and colleagues,


I have looked at your formalisation of the complex studies. You will find 
my comments in the attached document. I have also attached again the 
document I distributed a month ago, since I refer to it, so you don't have 
to grab in some overloaded attachment box again.

I thank you for your ideas. I think that we can actually make some progress 
if we confront our constructions of the complex study space. So, beyond the 
specific remarks on the formalism you are using, we make a step forward.


Best wishes

Reto
