Per the TC's submission request [1], please find the attached template for the front pages of:

Product Life Cycle Support Version 1.0

WP-abbrev: plcslib

We expect this Work Product to be published at:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/plcs/plcslib/v1.0/csd01/plcslib-v1.0-csd01.doc

I'm attaching a ZIP file containing the expected formatting for the front pages in MS-Word, HTML, and PDF formats. Please note that the OASIS template has changed significantly since the PLCS TC published the DEXlib documents in 2010. The OASIS TC Administration team will be happy to review your Working Drafts before publication to help your documents conform to this template.

Please let me know if anything here fails to meet your expectations.

Below are standard instructions for publication, some of which may not apply to the XML publication stream used by the PLCS TC....

Further revisions to this Work Product must be maintained in Working Drafts, following procedures detailed in the OASIS TC Administration How-to Guide [2].

Working Drafts should be made available by uploading the document(s) to the TC's Kavi document repository, or (provisionally/temporarily) to the TC's Subversion (SVN) repository, if SVN has been activated for your TC [3]. TCs are encouraged to use ZIP packaging when the WD releases contain multiple files (and directories).

For each WD revision, you will need to:

1) increment the Working Draft revision (number) from 01 to 02, 03, 04 etc., as successive Working Drafts are produced; the revision number needs to be updated at the top of the document in the stage identifier (Working Draft ##) and in the document identifier within the page footer.

2) supply the relevant publication/release/upload date for each successive Working Draft instance, using the prescribed date format: DD Month YYYY; the date needs to be updated at the top of the document (just below the stage identifier, Working Draft ##) and in the page footer.

3) provide suitable text for a document Abstract, updating this summary with successive revisions to provide an accurate description of the subject matter, goals, scope, etc.

4) keep the Acknowledgments (Appendix A) and Revision History (Appendix C) up-to-date with each WD revision.

5) consult the OASIS Naming Directives document when creating new artifacts that may be part of the Work Product (e.g., image files, XML schemas), observing the rules for name characters in files and proposed directories, and for proposed URIs/namespaces [4].

When the TC votes [5] to approve a Working Draft as a Committee Draft (CSD or CND), the Chair or other designated person must submit a "Committee Specification Draft Creation and Upload Request" accessible on the TC Administration Requests Page [6].

Upon receipt of this form, the TC Administrator will QC and process the Work Product for official publication in the OASIS Library (http://docs.oasis-open.org/) as a Committee Draft, including addition of the requisite cover page metadata and other boilerplate information.
