NISO Standard Committee AZ, Networked Reference Services has released QATP
Use Cases.   The Protocol Subcommittee is developing a Question/Answer
Transaction Protocol (QATP) to support  exchange between digital reference
systems collaborating in the processing of a question. A preliminary step in
the development of a protocol is to describe use cases (also known
informally as "functional scenarios") that the protocol is required to
support. The QATP document in a PDF file is at: 
http://www.niso.org/standards/resources/azusecases.pdf.  
More information on the committee  work is at:

period is November 8, 2002 - January 8, 2003.  Please submit your comments
