15-day Review Request for The DocBook Publishers Schema Version 1.0

["mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org" <mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org>]

The following request has been submitted to the OASIS TC Administrator on 07/06/2010:

Submitter's Name: Scott Hudson
TC Name: OASIS DocBook Technical Committee
TC email address: docbook-tc@lists.oasis-open.org
Specification Title: The DocBook Publishers Schema Version 1.0
Approval Link: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/docbook/email/archives/201004/msg00003.html
Link to Previous Public Review Announcement: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/docbook/email/archives/200907/msg00001.html
Abstract: For more than a decade, DocBook has provided a structured markup vocabulary for hardware and software documentation. DocBook is now widely used in both commercial and Open Source environments. DocBook has a very broad element set, and applies to much more than just technical documentation. The DocBook TC is engaged in evolving the suite of DocBook specifications. The community benefits from having a standard, open, interchangeable vocabulary in which to write structured content. DocBook has been, and will continue to be, designed to satisfy this requirement.

The OASIS DocBook SubCommittee for Publishers is chartered to develop and maintain official variants of DocBook in support of the publishing industry. Specifically, the subcommittee will focus on schema and stylesheet customizations to support: periodicals as regularly published technical notes or journals, book publishing (such as business, legal, medical, and other non-technical domains), educational textbooks and other document types as appropriate for this industry.

The DocBook Publishers Schema is based on DocBook 5.0, and delivered in the normative RelaxNG Schema format.
