OpenDocument v1.2 Documents

  • 1.  OpenDocument v1.2 Documents

    Hi,
    
    as discussed in the last TC call, the ODF 1.2 specification requires an 
    overview or main document, that could be referred to as "the" ODF 1.2 
    specification.
    
    I did already upload a draft for this overview document a few days ago, 
    but now made some more adaptations to this document as well as to the 
    individual three parts. A summary of changes is below. If possible, I 
    would like make another motion for a CD/PR ballot tomorrow.
    
    The new documents are:
    
    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/37866/OpenDocument-v1.2-part0-draft2.odt
    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/37865/OpenDocument-v1.2-part1-cd04-rev07.odt
    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/37864/OpenDocument-v1.2-part2-cd02-rev07.odt
    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/37863/OpenDocument-v1.2-part3-cd01-rev06.odt
    
    The part 0 (or main) document contains:
    - A full TOC
    - A scope statement
    - A normative reference section that actually is empty, but states that 
    the normative references are contained in the individual parts.
    - The conformance clauses. These only mention the conformance target and 
    the part where the requirements for a conformance target are defined.
    - The acknowledgments
    
    The following changes have been made to the three individual parts:
    - The abstracts and introductions now state that the documents are part 
    of the OpenDocument v1.2 specification, and state only what is part of 
    the specific part
    - The conformance clauses has been turned into normative statements, and 
    have been moved to the beginning of the document. This allows us to have 
    the conformance clauses all in the main part. Please note that the 
    content of the (former) conformance clauses has not changed. Only the 
    wording and numbering has been adapted slightly. The requirements that 
    the conformance targets have to meet still are the same.
    - The acknowledgments have been removed
    - For part 1 only: The scope statement has been removed (it is now in 
    part 0), and the content of the "Document Processing" chapter has been 
    moved into the "Document Structure" chapter (it was somehow misplaced at 
    the end of the document after the conformance clauses have been moved to 
    the top of the document)
    - For Part 2 only: The "scope" section now is called "Purpose" to avoid 
    confusion with the "Scope" statement in the main document.
    
    Best regards
