    Subject: [xliff] [Fwd: OASIS-LISA Global e-Business Survey Results]


    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.
