Hi Bart…
The SVN structure makes sense to me.
I will follow-up with Dennis as soon as he is available and get
these into the wiki J
Thanks,

Stephen (and the
other members of course)
that's quite a list, very nice !
I think Dennis is still on a well-deserved break, but it would indeed
be wise to check with him to organize these scenarios on the wiki.
Since SVN is up and running: proposals for a layout are welcome :-)
Probably the classic trunk-tag-branch, perhaps with subdivisions like
/documents (the ODF docs)
/results (test results in an XML schema)
/scenarios (the steps for a scenario, in an XML schema or plain text)
/upload (various stuff)
Maybe we have to create more subdirs (or maybe not...)
Not sure though if, for instance, a result ODF-document and a result
ODF-metadata file should go in the same directory or not, so we need
to give it some thought...
Best regards,
Bart

Subject: [oic] Document Interoperability Test Scenarios
Hi Bart...
As promised, the list below details a set of document test scenarios that we
believe are a solid representation of the real-world documents that exist out
there today. If there are no objections to these items, then I will work
with Dennis to get them posted to the wiki tomorrow/early next week.
Thanks,

Presentation
Conference Presentations
Presentations that are highly customized, well polished and represent something
larger than the particular individual.
Presentation
Informal Presentations
Presentations that are either oriented around informal meetings such as
internal team meetings ( e.g., a simple agenda slide to team status ).
Presentation
Note Taking
Presentations that are created on the fly and used to capture meeting minutes
or brainstorming results.
Presentation
Photo Books
Presentations that are photo-heavy and provide simple slide shows with photos
as the primary content.
Presentation
Pitch Books
Presentations that are very information dense and often used in the financial
services sector.
Presentation
Sales Presentations
Presentations that are designed to be given to a potential customer with the
goal of distinguishing the presenter/presenter's organization from the
competition.
Presentation
Self-Running
Presentations that are generally used as kiosks ( both interactive and not ) as
well as self-paced training and education.
Presentation
Signage
Single-slide presentations generally used for creating certificates, posters
and signs.
Spreadsheet
Application Add-ins

automate tasks), or UI to make the user more efficient when working with the
spreadsheet.
Spreadsheet
Budgeting
Spreadsheets that are information dense, usually rolling up a company's
financial situation through many formulas and relationships.
Spreadsheet
Data Analysis
Spreadsheets that contain copious amounts of information (often from another
application, external data sources, or copy/paste) and are then used to summarize
the information, turning it into data.
Spreadsheet
Data Interchange
Spreadsheets that are used to convey information from one application to
another - usually in the form of CSV/TSV.

systems or for a calculator in the same workbook. These spreadsheets
often have very locked down sheets, where the user can only select certain
