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.

(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.
