Subject: Submission of the OpenDocument v1.1 for OASIS standardization


Mary,

the OpenDocument TC on 17 November 2006 has voted for submitting the Open Document Format 
for Office Applications (OpenDocument) Specification v1.1 to OASIS membership for approval 
as an OASIS Standard. The ballot details are available at

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/ballot.php?id=1144

As authorized by this vote, I am hereby submitting the OpenDocument v1.1
Committee Specification for OASIS standardization.

The following items are hereby submitted pursuant to the OASIS
requirements:

(a)Links to the approved Committee Specification in the TC's document repository:

    The OpenDocument v1.1 specification is available in

    1.OpenDocument format:
      http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/20848/OpenDocument-v1.1-cs1.odt

    2.PDF format:
      http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/20847/OpenDocument-v1.1-cs1.pdf

    3.XHTML format: (zipped):
     http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/20846/OpenDocument-v1.1-cs1_html.zip

    The three schemas defined by the OpenDocument v1.1 specification are also
    available separately:

    1.OpenDocument v1.1 Relax-NG Schema (extracted from chapter 1 to 16 of the
      specification):
   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/20845/OpenDocument-schema-v1.1-cs1.rng

    2.OpenDocument v1.1 Manifest Relax-NG Schema (extracted from chapter 17 of the
      specification):
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/20843/OpenDocument-manifest-schema-v1.1-cs1.rng

    3.OpenDocument v1.1 Strict Relax-NG Schema (extracted from appendix A of the
      specification):
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/20844/OpenDocument-strict-schema-v1.1-cs1.rng

(b)The editable version of all files that are part of the Committee Specification:

    The editable version of the specification is the version in OpenDocument format
    listed above.

(c)Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances included in the
    specification, whether by inclusion or reference, including fragments of such,
    are well formed, and that all expressions are valid;

    The contained schemas have been extensively tested, and the specification
    document itself was validated against the contained schema. Sample instance
    fragments and expressions were reviewed.

(d)A clear English-language summary of the specification

    The OpenDocument specification defines an XML schema for office applications
    and its semantics. The schema is suitable for office documents, including text
    documents, spreadsheets, charts and graphical documents like drawings or
    presentations, but is not restricted to these kinds of documents.

    The schema provides for high-level information suitable for editing documents.
    It defines suitable XML structures for office documents and is friendly to
    transformations using XSLT or similar XML-based tools.

    The OpenDocument v1.1 specification is a minor update to the OpenDocument v1.0
    OASIS Standard. Compared to the OpenDocument v1.0 specification, the
    OpenDocument v1.1 specification contains a couple of accessibility-related
    enhancements, error corrections and clarifications, and very few other minor
    enhancements.

(e)A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar work of
    other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations;

    OpenDocument v1.1 supersedes an existing OASIS Standard, OpenDocument v1.0.

(f)Certification by at least three OASIS member organizations that they are
    successfully using the specification;

    1.IBM:
      http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200611/msg00004.html

    2.Novell:
      http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200612/msg00026.html

    3.OpenDocument Foundation:
      http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200611/msg00003.html

    4.Royal National Institute for the Blind
      http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200611/msg00056.html

    5.Sun:
      http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200612/msg00001.html

(g)The beginning and ending dates of the public review(s), a pointer to the
    announcement of the public review(s), and a pointer to an account of each of
    the comments/issues raised during the public review period(s), along with its
    resolution;

    The public review started 27 July 2006, and ended 25 September 2006.

    The public review was announced on 27 July 2006:
      http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200607/msg00015.html

    A list of comments/issues raised during the public review, along with their
    resolution, is available at:
    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/20685/OpenDocument-v1.1-comments.odt

(h)An account of and results of the voting to approve the specification as a
    Committee Specification, including the date of the ballot and a pointer to the
    ballot;

    The specification was approved as a Committee Specification at 19 October 2006.
    The ballot result is available at:
    http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/ballot.php?id=1129

(i)An account of or pointer to votes and comments received in any earlier attempts
    to standardize substantially the same specification, together with the
    originating TC's response to each comment;

    No earlier attempt to standardize the same specification was made.

(j)A pointer to the publicly visible comments archive for the originating TC;

    The TC's comment archive is at:
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/

(k)A pointer to any minority reports submitted by one or more Members who did not
    vote in favor of approving the Committee Specification, which report may
    include statements regarding why the member voted against the specification or
    that the member believes that Substantive Changes were made which have not gone
    through public review; or certification by the Chair that no minority reports
    exist.

    The specification was approved unanimously as a Committee Specification.
    Therefore, no minority report exists.

Best regards

Michael Brauer

OASIS OpenDocument TC Chair
