RE: [office] How about an interoperability Subcommittee?
Title: 邮件

Yes, this 
proposed TC is aimed to interop at semantic level. In other side, UOML TC is 
aimed to interop at layout level for visible use.

Thanks 
Peter for introducing IDABC research project. I'd like to hear the future 
progress of that project.

Thanks, Peter, I had not heard of the IDABC research project. 
  

There are also discussions within OASIS 
  on a new TC to investigate document standards interoperability.  See 
  http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200704/msg00007.html 
  

This new OASIS proposal is more aligned 
  to interop between ODF, DocBook, DITA and related formats..  Although 
  these formats are not at the same level of presentation abstraction, there 
  should be meaningful level of interop at the structural and perhaps semantic 
  level (with ODF 1.2 metadata perhaps). 

So I think my proposed subcommittee could help with that as 
  well.
