Subject: Re: [office] How about an interoperability Subcommittee?

Thanks, Peter, I had not heard of the
IDABC research project.
There are also discussions within OASIS
on a new TC to investigate document standards interoperability. See
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200704/msg00007.html
This new OASIS proposal is more aligned
to interop between ODF, DocBook, DITA and related formats.. Although
these formats are not at the same level of presentation abstraction, there
should be meaningful level of interop at the structural and perhaps semantic
level (with ODF 1.2 metadata perhaps).
So I think my proposed subcommittee
could help with that as well.
