Remember back a few years when Oregon
and Seattle made the bold moves to Open Source as the mandated productivity
tool in state government? It’s our turn now, and the stars
are OASIS, IETF and the W3C. OASIS
is the Massachusetts Enterprise Standard! “The Enterprise Technical
Reference Model (ETRM) v3.5 effective September 21, 2005 incorporates a new
Discipline for Data Formats within the Information Domain. This
Discipline addresses the acceptable formats in which data can be presented and
captured. All other Domains and Disciplines remain unchanged. The
Introduction and Domains are available in separate documents for viewing and
download.” http://www.mass.gov/portal/index.jsp?pageID=mg2homepage&L=1&L0=Home&sid=massgov2 Office is feeling the heat Microsoft
to open Office document format This is out of Computerworld. Om writing by Taylor and
Montelbano “Microsoft said it would
submit its Office Open XML document format technology to the International
Standards Organization (ISO) to be adopted as an international standard in time
for the launch of the next version of its Office software suite, code-named
Office 12. The
development comes as a group of technology rivals led by IBM and Sun
Microsystems Inc. is mobilizing a global effort to push the OASIS consortium's
Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) as a global
standard format for these kinds of documents. The effort was spurred in part by
a highly publicized proposal in Massachusetts requiring compliance with
OpenDocument for government documents, which would mean the phasing out of
Microsoft Office and its proprietary format (see "U.S.
state finalizes plans to phase out Office"). This is definitely cause, a group wide happy dance! I’m sure there is much more where this came from. (quotations do not imply my
writing. I just wanted to be sure everyone sees that security, audit, and
development are all needing to read this.) Robin
