XLIFF enables localizable data to be stored and carried from one step of the localization process to the other, while allowing interoperability between tools. All organizational members of OASIS are encouraged to vote: those who wish to discuss this ballot may do so through member-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200801/msg00003.html ------------------------------------------------------------------- DSS-X and XRI TCs join IDtrust Member Section The OASIS IDtrust Member Section welcomes affiliation from the Digital Signature Services eXtended (DSS-X) TC and the Extensible Resource Identifier (XRI) TC. The DSS-X TC, co-chaired by Juan Cruellas of the Centre d'aplicacions avanades d'Internet (CANET) and Stefan Drees, works to advance digital signature services standards for XML. The XRI TC, co-chaired by Drummond Reed of Cordance and Gabriel Wachob of AmSoft Systems, defines a royalty-free URI-compatible scheme and resolution protocol for abstract structured identifiers used to identify and share resources across domains and applications. These TCs will contribute to IDtrust's goal of promoting greater understanding and adoption of standards-based identity and trusted infrastructure technologies, policies, and practices. http://www.oasis-idtrust.org/node/50 ------------------------------------------------------------------- DITA TC plans to form Adoption Subcommittee Plans are underway within the OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC to create a Subcommittee focused on promoting the adoption of DITA.
