Steve:
Total was 73 respondents, of which over 2/3 were executives and
managers.
I have access to the raw responses if you're
interested. Due to copyright restrictions, I cannot distribute to
the entire public mailing list, however, so if you want it,
send me a request and I'll forward individually.
Regards,
Tony

Do we know how many people responded to the survey in the first
instance?

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.
Best regards,
Tony

TAB and XLIFF
TC,
[Karl or Tony please forward to the XLIFF TC]
Attached are the
slides which include the tabulated results from the
survey.
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.
