I think it's the purpose of what's coming out of the mancoosi project (http://www.mancoosi.org/) which follows edos, IIRC. More details for instance in : http://www.mancoosi.org/deliverables/, or (in french) in : http://www.systematic-paris-region.org/fr/UserFiles/File/GT%20LL/EdosToMancoosi.pdf But there are members of EDOS/Mancoosi much more qualified, which read us, I guess.
