Issue 15002: Specification of Attribute Sizes (rms-ftf) Source: Hewlett-Packard (Mr. William Manago, CRM, william.manago(at)autonomy.com.) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: DoD 5015.02 does not specify field sizes. Nor does RMS in most cases. The description of a photograph might be adequately handled by 500 characters in one agency whereas another agency may require 50K characters. If the size is specified, what happens to inter-operability? Resolution: Revised Text: Actions taken: January 22, 2010: received issue Discussion: End of Annotations:===== m: "Larry L.
