1. Backgoung of Today's discussion
1.1 There were former activities:
- SGML DTD for standards documents
--> published as ISO/IEC TR 9573-11:1992 (1st ed.)
- ISO/IEC TR 9573-11 1st ed. was updated by ITSIG/SGML group
--> "ITSIG exchange DTD"
1.2 ITSIG requested its XML project to develop XML DTD
for the interchange of standards documents in an XML environment, in 2000.
NOTE: XML environment:
- Inexpensive tools are available
- Project editors, TC/SC members as well as ISO/CS staffs can deal with XML tools.
-
Therefore,
style specification is required for them to review standards documents with a presentation style defined by ISO/IEC directives.
1.3 XML project developed:
- XML DTD (as well as SGML DTD)
- style specification by DSSSL and XSL
--> published ISO/IEC TR 9573-11:2004 (2nd ed.) in 2004-04
The basic structure of the XML DTD is conforming to the "ITSIG exchange DTD (SGML DTD)".
Style specification by DSSSL and XSL-FO are conforming to the ISO/IEC directives.
