Subject: Requirement
+NAME Rick Jelliffe +CONTACT rjelliffe@allette.com.au +CATEGORY (select one or more from below) formatting +SCOPE (select one or more from below) presentation +USE CASE The W3C has defined CDRF, its Compound Document by Reference Format.* "CDRF <http://www.w3.org/TR/CDR/> describes generic rules and behavior for combining sets of standalone XML formats. NOTE: The Compound Document Framework is language-independent. While it is clearly meant to serve as the basis for integrating W3C's family of XML formats within its Interaction Domain (e.g., CSS, MathML, SMIL, SVG, VoiceXML, XForms, XHTML, XSL) with each other, it can also be used to integrate non-W3C formats with W3C formats or integrate non-W3C formats with other non-W3C formats." While ODF currently takes the route of a single file format, nevertheless there is a clear user requirement for interoperability between web documents and standalone presentations. This requirement can be in part met by making sure there are matching features at the most basic abstract level between ODF and CDRF, and by augmenting ODF to make up for any differences. *http://www.w3.org/TR/WICD/ +DESCRIPTION ODF needs to be audited against the requirements of CDRF; abstract features specified in CDRF that have no equivalent in ODF should be added to ODF. For example, the CDRF has material on the tab order ("focus handling") for hyperlinks in a document, including those inside vector graphics files. So the audit would ask "Do we allow links inside vector graphics?" and then "Does our tab order mechanism handle this case?" (Note that CDRF does not provide a specific focus navigation model: the intent is not to constrain implementations but to make sure that an ODF document and the ODF model does have the correct slots and features to carry this kind of information.) Presentations are an area where there is some feeling that ODF (or its implementations) are not as far advanced as they are in other areas. An audit would check that some important aspects are dealt with, based on objective criteria made by a sister consortium. It also may enhance ODFs utility and penetration in the mobile devices realm which seems to be driving CDRF.
