There are two resources for self-taught introduction to the IPDR.org technology components of this solution:
1. Document Map Overview (http://www.ipdr.org/public/DocumentMap/DMO3.5.0.1.pdf) - an overview of how the Document Map is organized and a simple workflow of how different actor/role players in the use of the technology use the various specifications, who uses the output of that work, and what the end result would be.
2. Service Specification Design Guidelines (http://www.ipdr.org/public/DocumentMap/SSDG3.5.1.pdf)--a tool for use in defining an IP-based service for which IPDRDocs will be created and handled, including specific practices in the use of XML Schema for creating a schema specific to that service.
