Subject: FW: [office] 60-day Public Review for OpenDocument Version 1.2 (COS)
Woo Hoo! -----Original Message----- From: Robin Cover [mailto:robin@oasis-open.org] Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2011 18:09 To: OASIS OpenDocument TC List Cc: Robin Cover; Chet Ensign; Paul Knight Subject: [office] 60-day Public Review for OpenDocument Version 1.2 (COS) The OpenDocument Version 1.2 specification produced by the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) Technical Committee [1] is now entering 60-day COS public review in preparation for member ballot to consider approval as an OASIS Standard: Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) Version 1.2 Candidate OASIS Standard (COS) 01 10 May 2011 In addition to the prose Overview document, the specification is comprised of the following parts: OpenDocument v1.2 Part 1: OpenDocument Schema OpenDocument v1.2 Part 2: Recalculated Formula (OpenFormula) Format OpenDocument v1.2 Part 3: Packages OpenDocument v1.2 Relax NG Schema OpenDocument v1.2 Manifest Schema OpenDocument v1.2 Digital Signature Schema OpenDocument v1.2 Metadata Manifest Ontology OpenDocument v1.2 Package Metadata Manifest Ontology Members of the OpenDocument TC have approved a Special Majority ballot to advance OpenDocument v1.2 Committee Specification (CS) to Candidate OASIS Standard (COS) level, and have met all the requirements of the TC process for a COS Submission [2]. The declarations include certification that all schemas and XML instances are well formed/valid; statements of use; accounts of previous public reviews; disposition logs; etc. Details of the submission request are available online for public inspection [3]. Specification Summary Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) Version 1.2 specifies the characteristics of an XML-based application-independent and platform-independent digital document file format, as well as the characteristics of software applications which read, write and process such documents. This standard is applicable to document authoring, editing, viewing, exchange and archiving, including text documents, spreadsheets, presentation graphics, drawings, charts and similar documents commonly used by personal productivity software applications. OASIS has two other Technical Committees, the ODF Adoption TC and the ODF Interoperability and Conformance TC which do work that compliments the work of the OpenDocument TC. The OpenDocument TC has liaisons to these other committees. ISO/IEC JTC1 approved OASIS OpenDocument v1.0 under their Publically Available Specification (PAS) process as ISO/IEC 26300:2006, and is in the process of approving OASIS OpenDocument v1.1. It is expected that the OpenDocument TC will ask OASIS to submit OASIS OpenDocument v1.2 to them under PAS rules for transposition into an International Standard. There is an OASIS and an OASIS OpenDocument TC liaison with JTC1/SC34, the committee that maintains ISO/IEC 26300. Maintenance is done under an agreement between OASIS and ISO/IEC JTC1 that requires that the ISO version remains 'technically equivalent' to the OASIS version. The OpenDocument Technical Committee was chartered to create an open, XML-based file format specification for office applications. Public Review Period The 60-day public review starts today, 23 June 2011 and ends 22 August 2011. This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
