The Code of Specifications

Do construction specifications require translation?


Often construction specifications seem as oblique and inaccessible as these hieroglyphic carvings in the hypostyle hall at the Great Temple in Karnak, Egypt. (Engraving by Josef Durm, 1914)


Is there a correct way to encode the information for a new product into the "CSI Format"?
(Fragment of the Papyrus of Ani, ca. 3500 BC)



Is there a "CSI Format", and how does it work?  Can it help you write better specifications, or even read and understand specifications more easily?  Is Cleopatra discussing specifications with Mark Antony? (The Banquet of Cleopatra, Giovanni Batista Tiepolo, 1746)
