Hi, just to correct and clarify:
- My correspondence was with the editor
of the ODF spec, not the chair (I got that wrong); and I didn't mean to
imply that our miscommunication was at all wilful on his part; rather,
that coming from an ODF background, he has a set of assumptions in place
around the relationship between content and content models that are very
different from the assumptions in place for DITA, DocBook, or other formats
focused on schema-governed semantics and cross-presentation single-sourcing.

Thanks Bruce. These are very
interesting. While we have tried to keep the TC apprised of our work, the
release of 1.2 has occupied people’s mind share. I believe that the whitepaper
I spoke about will provide them with a concise understanding of where we
stand and why. I’ll keep an eye on the schedule for our presentation.
Thank you for sharing this
information.
Ann

Subject: [dita-busdocs] topics of interest on today's TC call
Discussion of
user and vendor comments at the CIDM conference about the growing complexity
of DITA led to recognition of a need to identify a DITA subset for new
users in 1.3. This intersects nicely with issues we have been addressing.
Michael reported
that the meeting of OASIS Chairs discussed the desirability of a unified
way of authoring, publishing, reviewing, etc. OASIS specifications. The
ODF TC Chair (and some others) apparently had bad experiences editing XML
some time in the past and seem closed to considering DITA now. (Defense
of ODF is surely a factor too. The ODF Chair doesn't [or doesn't want to?]
understand why random round-tripping between ODF and DITA is problematic.)
Michael will offer to do a demo to OASIS chairs of the system used in IBM
for specifications. There was talk of establishing a subcommittee for this.
I mentioned to Don that specifications are among the types of documents
that the BusDocs SC have researched, and that at the least it should be
considered in the larger context of the framework for business documents
that we have been working on, and presumably will report on in 6 weeks
or so when our turn comes up. (The sequence for liaison reports is maintained
at http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/FrontPage.)
The TC is too
unaware of what we have been doing, so they are unable to take it into
consideration.
