Subject: [xliff] [Fwd: OASIS-LISA Global e-Business Survey Results]
Hi all: Attached is presentation summarising a survey recently conducted by OASIS in conjunction with LISA. The compiled responses include numbers of respondents presently using XLIFF as well as planning to deploy in the near future. It all makes for very interesting reading. Patrick is actively soliciting suggestions and observations from the TAC and our TC. I suggest that we carefully examine the survey results along with observations and suggestions, and reply with our TC's collective opinions and thoughts.

At the end of the slides are 2 Summary slides and 2 Observation slides. Please keep in mind that this survey was originally designed to give a high level view of a potential emerging trend. To that end, I believe that the survey clearly justified the need and opportunity to focus on these issues now. Excerpts from the slides (with some updates): Observations: eBusiness Transactions: - Consider follow-on work such as a more focused and detailed survey that would be designed to gather sufficient demographic information that might be helpful in better identifying the areas of uptake in finer granularity. - Encourage involvement of globalization experts on many of OASIS TCs Auto Repair Controlled Trade Customer Info Human Markup Open Office XML Format Rights Language Topic Maps for Geography & Language UDDI User Interface Markup Language WS for Remote Portals WS for Interactive Application - Create a new Committee focused on globalization of e-Business and Web Services transaction content OASIS Universal Business Language Other Organizations’ Content Vocabularies: (ACORD, EAN, ONCE, OTA, RosettaNet, ...) Observations: Localisation Technology: - Create a new Committee to define a vocabulary for marking up any XML document with localization-related information in a standard way - Create a new Committee to define a standard set of Web Service Interfaces for Localisation Vendors - Identify opportunities to promote demonstrations of the XLIFF Standard Best Practices and Whitepapers Interoperability Demonstrations These Observations should be considered drafts and suggestions, based on my analysis of the survey, together with interactions of various OASIS members attending the conference as well as other prospective members. In addition, these recommendations are also based on observations of trends and activities that are occurring outside of OASIS, such as goals and programs at other organizations such as European Commission, CEN/ISSS (Europe Standard org) and at other regional/country levels. And of course, the creation of any new TC will only occur if 3 or more members actually believe that such an activity is warranted. However, I met representatives from other globalization/localization companies (who are NOT currently OASIS members) what expressed an interest to join OASIS to participate in some of these recommended activities. What I would like to ask from the TAB is a review of this information and an endorsement that these are strategically important activities. Also, if members of the TAB can suggest any other related activities, then they should be added to this list of recommendations. Also, if the XLIFF TC has additional inputs, then I would like to see those considered also. It is my understanding that some potential new TC is being discussed next week at the LRC conference in Dublin, where I am presenting. More information on that proposal is expected next week.
