Carlos Miguens, Alfresco's Global Director of Training said on the
Alfresco Forum on 24 October this year:

'MoReq2 is harder to certify against, this is only natural it's a
newer standard than DoD and it has been developed by a European
committee to meet wider ranging requirements. The standard is more
comprehensive than DoD and the tests are far more detailed.

Although MoReq2 was ratified early in 2008, the testing regime will be
carried out by third party companies and these companies were not
awarded contracts until early 2009. Hence only Fabasoft is currently
certified, expect to see others going through certification though.'

Marc Fresko (the Project Leader and main author of MoReq2) offered
some useful comparisons between DOD 5015.2 and MoReq2 in reply:

'MoReq2 is wider ranging and more detailed than 5015.2. Some stats to
set that in perspective:
- Number of requirements - MoReq2 792. 5015.2: roughly 380 (actually
it is near-impossible to count 5015.2 requirements confidently).
- Number of words (approx) - MoReq2: 91,955. 5015.2: 32,700.
- Pages (in MS-Word format) - MoReq2: 377. 5015.2: 118.
These are rough figures that tromp all over issues such as how to
count metadata; but stil, they give an impression.

Mostly the two specifications seek to achieve the same ends, often
with diferent means. There are a few downright incompatibilities too,
and a major difference in the underlying entity model.'
