Dennis,
based on feedback on the dita-s1000d list, there was not enough
interest to form a full TC to explore DITA/S1000D interoperability.
Instead, it looks like a smaller subcommittee out of the DITA TC may be
formed to develop a DITA Specialization of S1000D data module elements.
The purpose of this Doc Standards Interop TC was scoped initially
around ODF, DITA and DocBook interoperability.
The hope was to eventually bring in other standards, such as MS Office
OpenXML, and perhaps even S1000D if it made sense.
As Alex Wang pointed out, we may also need to look into UOML.
From your point of view, should we plan to add S1000D to the scope of
this TC sooner rather than later?
Best regards,
--Scott

I see no mention of S1000D. I

collaboration of DITA and S1000D?
Last time we met we agreed that we
would initiate the formation of a technical committee, which starts
with the formation of a formal public discussion list. I did submit
the request, but Mary had suggested an elaborated statement of scope
which I haven't provided yet.
Here's an attempt at expanded
information:
Document standards such as DITA
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/dita), DocBook
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/docbook), and ODF
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/office) are designed to enable
standardized content that can be used across applications that conform
to the standard. However, this reuse does not typically cross the
boundaries of the standards, because the standards are not usually
designed with cross-standard interoperability in mind. Members of the
DITA, DocBook, and ODF TCs are forming a technical committee to address
this problem. The work of the technical committee is likely to include
the development and documentation of scenarios for cross-standard
content sharing; a specification for an interoperability framework,
including mappings from participating standard formats to the
framework; and requirements on participating standards to improve
interoperability.
Is that ok with folks on the current
list?
Let's meet this Thursday to discuss
taking the message back to our respective TCs. My apologies for letting
the proposal lag.

I was going to ask the same question! Do we have
everything we need to initiate the formation of a TC? Are we going to
set up regularly scheduled meetings?

Subject: [docstandards-interop-tech] Meeting next week?
Please let me know what days/times would be available for a continuing
meeting - I'd like to set up a series of telecons to discuss plans for
this year and review some new work by Flatirons on an interoperability
framework.
My default preference is for Thursday 2 PM ET
