Formalizing the FDC3 Standard documentation
This issue has been raised as part of work, sponsored by FINOS, to improve and formalize the documentation of the FDC3 standard.
Issue description
Historically, only the 4 'specification' documents have been considered to be the official parts of the FDC3 standard (as defined here https://fdc3.finos.org/docs/fdc3-intro#specifications), that are voted on by FDC3 participants, with everything else considered to be supporting documentation only. However, the 'specification' documents do not provide a complete definition of FDC3.
For example, the specification for the APIs (https://fdc3.finos.org/docs/api/spec) does not include a full set of definitions for the API calls, their signatures and expected behaviour. However, this information is provided in the API reference documents (e.g. https://fdc3.finos.org/docs/api/ref/DesktopAgent) and Typescript source files (these are at least weakly referred to in the API specification).
Each section also includes an overview document, which provides a brief introduction to each part of the standard, including information that is generally repeated in more detail in the current specification documents. However, the content provides a useful introduction, which could be moved forward to the introduction section.
Hence, it is recommended that:
Adopting these recommendations is closely related to implementation of the other recommendations in issues:
