Oh yes.  Now I get it.  I'll put all of that in a formal
submission and have it to you shortly.  

 

Thanks, as always, for keeping me on track,

Hi Bryan,

 

  Yes – you need to make
the formal submission per the TC Process! That is, send me an email with each
of the items as outlined in the TC Process section 3.4: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#s3.4

 

Thanks J

Hi Mary,

 

Thank you very much for this reminder.  In my mind there are
no more steps for the TC or officers to take to make this ballot commence on
time.  Or am I foolishly overlooking something (it wouldn't be the first
time)?

 

I think you were going to update the titles on the representation
guides, and put them in the appropriate URLs.  

 

Everything else is in place, I think.  We've been tracking all
of the requirements on our wiki 

(http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/RemainingApprovalSteps).

 

Specs

Is there something in my court that I need to do to meet our goal?

 

Thanks,

 

Bryan

Note from Rodolfo: The representation guides are not in the server
at the right places. Zipped versions are http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/v1.2/

Note from Rodolfo: The representation guides that we have still say
"Public Review Draft 02" because we don't have a better name for
approved related documents yet. 

Note from Bryan: I did not include our FAQ, Whitepaper, or
articles. I think we can use these as leverage to help persuade members to
vote, down the line, but I do not consider them part of the core. 

(b) Editable version of all files that are a part of the
specification

     Specification and Representation Guides 

(c) Certification of XML validity (schemas, and samples) 

 
TC certifies XML validity 

(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification 

The XLIFF 1.2 Specification defines the XML Localization
Interchange File Format (XLIFF). The purpose of this vocabulary is to store
localizable data and carry it from one step of the localization process to the
other, while allowing interoperability between tools. 

The specification is tool-neutral, supports the entire localization
process, and supports common software, document data formats, and mark-up
languages. The specification provides an extensibility mechanism to allow the
development of tools compatible with an implementer's data formats and workflow
requirements. The extensibility mechanism provides controlled inclusion of
information not defined in the specification. 

(e) Statement of the relationship of this specification to similar
work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations 

·      XLIFF is
an XML-based vocabulary (http://www.w3.org/XML/).

·      XLIFF is
represented in the DITA Translation Subcommittee, and will be featured in a
translation best practices document (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita-translation).

·      XLIFF has
a working relationship with LISA/OSCAR standards related to Translation and
Localization (http://www.lisa.org/), and is
a requirement for several LISA standards like 

o  TMX (http://www.lisa.org/standards/tmx/),
Support XLIFF inline markup in TMX 2.0 is in progress at this moment (draft
posted for public review). 

o  GMX-V (http://www.lisa.org/standards/gmx/),
XLIFF is a requirement 

o  xml:tm (http://www.lisa.org/standards/xmltm/),
XLIFF is a requirement

Hi everyone,

 

  I believe the latest timeline I had heard was that
you would be submitting XLIFF for OASIS Standard vote on/before December 15
(which would result in an OASIS ballot 16-31 Jan). This is a gentle reminder
that you have approximately 36 hours to meet that deadline.

 

Regards,

 

Mary
