Regarding the topic of XML, the last ITSIG Plenary instructed that:
-------------------------
ITSIG,
invites the JTC1 representative in ITSIG to secure coordination among the project team led by Dr. Komachi and the JTC1 SCs interested in authoring XML documents, with the aim of developing a harmonized approach to be followed by interested ISO technical groups,
further invites Dr. Komachi and JISC to provide additional information and guidance to support the implementation of ISO/IEC TR 9573-11:2004,
confirms the approach followed so far by ITSIG on XML authoring, i.e:
to continue with the pilot project lead by Dr. Komachi in collaboration with ISO/CS and JTC1, aiming at consolidating an ISO/XML DTD and related style specification to be used by those technical groups interested in generating document files in XML format.
-------------------------
Responding to the resolution, the XML project provided the XML DTD of ISO/IEC 9573-11 2nd edition for some project editors of JTC1, who are XML experts as well. They tried to draft their standards documents using the DTD and found that
The DTD of ISO/IEC 9573-11 2nd edition is actually designed satisfying the requirements for ISO/CS as well as project editors.
Considering the comment of project editors, the XML project is developing a simplified XML structure which could be appropriate for project editors' works and should be distributed as an amendment to ISO/IEC TR 9573-11 2nd ed.
Y. Komachi of the XML Project visited to Geneva in Dec. 2004 and held an adhoc meeting with Mr. Gerundino and some members of ISO/CS to clarify the works to be taken for XML promotion.
The simplified XML structure is basically an extension to the prototype structure[1] by James Clark and is described using the compact syntax[3] of RELAX NG[2].
The following elements are extended:
The simplified XML structure is:
