Subject: RE: [legalxml-comment] Missing DTD?
We have started a Transcript Technical Committee. You can join at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/legalxml-transcripts/ We encourage you to submit complementary, supplementary and even contradictory materials. Submit away! We are having our first conference call on September 19. James I.

Is there a submission mechanism to the working group for additions? (or a contact person?) Depending on 'how' you approach transcripts, there are quite a few areas the current DTD seems to fail to address. (of course, that statement is based only on my lone 'XML export' transcript I was studying)... Geo... George K.

Belicka Jr.'; legalxml-comment@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: RE: [legalxml-comment] Missing DTD? Hi George, Just a quick response. LegalXML has been going through a major reorganization with the move to join OASIS and a number of important initiatives have been delayed. Most critically the standards effort! Thankfully the organization is coming out of a long dark tunnel and I think in the near future the real work of the group will restart. I'm pretty sure there'll be a few weeks of settling in to the new structure but OASIS has a great track record in the standards arena. Davin Fifield (ex CTO of RealLegal) and I co-chaired the Transcripts workgroup but unfortunately Davin has recently moved out of the legal industry. Not sure about the logistics for the workgroups under the OASIS but there is a steering group meeting next week where hopefully this sort of issue will be discussed. We need to get the links for things like the draft Transcript DTD back online ASAP. If there's no resolution from next weeks meeting I can send a copy out to all the members of the workgroup. There are many issues to be progressed by the transcripts workgroup including the issues around DTD's and XML Schema, realtime transcript and the appropriateness of the latest draft DTD, etc. More information to follow as the OASIS structure for LegalXML unravels.

I've just subscribed to this listserv, and it's the first one I've been on since 1993 so please forgive me if my posting is misdirected. I'm not trying to clutter anyone's email with stupid questions... :-) As a developer I've been looking at applying XML to how my software manipulates deposition transcripts, and after googling LegalXML, well, here I am. Apparently there has already been some progress made in this area, but I can't seem to locate the DTD (or preferably the schema) for the work that's been accomplished. I took a couple of hours and tossed together my own schema for what I would like to see, and after doing an export of a transcript from RealLegal's E*Transcript 4.0, was pleasantly surprised that my concept and theirs matched pretty closely. Further, they seem to reference your DTD at http://www.legalxml.org/transcripts/main2000_04_16.dtd which is completely dead. So first, where do I get the DTD? Second, to whom do I address proposals for additional (optional) elements? Third, when is the DTD being scrapped in favor of xml-schema? Fourth, are any CAT vendors out there actually embracing XML as a delivery mechanism to the client? Right now the attorney's seem to be getting ASCII floppies to load into DepositionDirector, or Summation iBlaze, or whatever. I think if the reporters could export XML transcripts for delivery to the attorney's (directly from their CAT software), and that XML was standardized, then the task of moving data from CAT software to linked digital video, to discovery software, to trial presentation software could be greatly simplified. (read: faster, cheaper, easier). Any inputs are appreciated. If I've sent this to the wrong folks, please just tell me where to go... (err, so to speak.) :-) Geo... George K.
