The French AFNOR Proposal to Merge ODF and MS-OOXML

- Summary Statement: Hey, this is an excellent plan! We can fully support this effort, even though the ISO National Bodies still have to work their way through the treacherous big vendor consortia controlled channels of OASIS ODF and Ecma 376. Bringing the big vendor applications to heel is not going to be easy. Merging ODF and MS-OOXML however is a worthwhile effort - one that the conversion and translator plug-in communities have been working on for the past three years! It can be done! And all it takes is five generic elements added to the existing ODF 1.2 specification ........

ODF and OOXML must converge!! AFNOR, the French Standards Body, announces proposals for revisable office document formats

- French experts have determined that it is technically possible to converge ODF and MS-OOXML, into a single, revisable document format standard?
  
  The plan has four parts:
  
  "Firstly, to restructure the ECMA standard in two parts so as to differentiate between, on the one hand, a core of essential and simple functionalities to be implemented (OOXML-Core) and, on the other hand, all the additional functionalities required for compatibility with the stocks of existing office document files created by numerous users, which will be gathered within a package called OOXML-Extensions."
  
  "Secondly, AFNOR proposes to take into account a full series of technical comments submitted to the draft in order to make OOXML an ISO document of the highest possible technical and editorial quality."
  
  "Thirdly, it proposes to attribute to OOXML the status of ISO/TS for three years."
  
  Fourth, "Finally, AFNOR proposes to set up a process of convergence between ISO/IEC 26300 and the OOXML-Core. In order to achieve this, AFNOR will begin the simultaneous revision of ISO/IEC 26300 and of ISO/TS OOXML (subject to the latter being adopted after the aforementioned restructuring), so as to obtain the most universal possible single standard at the end of the convergence process. Any subsequent evolutions will be decided upon at ISO level and no longer at the level of such a group or category of players."
  
  So there you go. A solution that removes ODF and OOXML from the clam

- AFNOR has recommended to ISO adopting an approach enabling it to guarantee – using ISO processes – mid-term convergence between Open Document Format (ODF) and OfficeOpen XML (OOXML), as well as the stabilisation of OOXML on a short-term basis.

- The OpenDocument Foundation "Universal Interoperability Framework" Proposal has not been submitted to the OASIS ODF TC as of this bookmarking. But this version is complete except for a closing summation.
  post by garyedwards on 2007-09-27
- SUMMARY: The OpenDocument Foundation
  proposes that the OASIS Office TC begin now to create an
  interoperability framework for inclusion in OpenDocument v. 1.2. This
  document, one of a series of planned proposals, proposes first steps towards a
  comprehensive interoperability framework and OpenDocument conformance
  requirements. This proposal is designed to bring ODF v. 1.2 into compliance with current ISO Interoperability Requirements.

- Good discussion on IBM's recent release of OpenOffice as Lotus Symphony. OpenOffice Community Marketing Lead, John McCreesh, steps into it though with an errant quote. Sadly, i have to take him to task.
