HotRFC

Jean F. Queralt will be presenting a HotRFC under the title "One diagram to stack them all".

With so many SDOs, supranational and local processes, technical codes, policies and all the rest, it is quite difficult to visualize which areas does a document impact in our digital infrastructure and devices.

OSI was a good start for its purpose and further models have been proposed to include other considerations that affect how technology is designed and implemented.

This talk will aim at proposing a more general diagram with the hopes of achieving a framework that can be used in as many scenarios as possible.
