Hi, Gerard,

I'm splattering this question out to some people who might be able to respond. The only formal ISO standard environment that I really know of that could be relevant here is ISO 11179, which deals with metadata registries and the definition of data elements (categories), but it isn't specific to xml per se. I don't know whether anyone has worked with "project localizable data" per se. I would also be looking at IETF & W3C for possible guidance as well because ISO isn't the only game in town by any manner or means.

Sorry I can't offer a definitive answer, but I suspect this is a little like our ongoing locales discussion: that it involves a lot of questions that haven't really been addressed adequately elsewhere as yet.

Bye for now

SUe Ellen

Sue,
Do you know what data categorization ISO standard there is for project file turned into localizable file of xml tags? Is there an open list of data category and their value to represent project localizable data?

I am in Ireland/Dublin in the XLIFF committee and we are trying to determine whether there is a formal data categorization available in ISO? To build extensibility much like TBX with sibling/children XLTs.

Thanks,
-Gérard
