  • 1.  Position wording for exploratory documents by DITA TCs and SCs

    Posted 10-26-2010 17:08
    This note is for the attention of all DITA TC Subcommittee chairs who 
    might not have been aware of the subject discussion at the DITA TC.
    
    Recently, a concern was surfaced about how Subcommittees may most 
    appropriately position or disclaim their technical proposals and other 
    intermediate products, in deference to the DITA TC's normally final say 
    about approved TC products. The DITA TC approved such wording at the Oct 
    26 meeting. The discussion and consensus wording are represented in this 
    note chain: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201010/msg00126.html
    
    The approved disclaimer wording for both TC and Subcommittee 
    intermediate/exploratory products is this:
    
    This document reflects exploratory work. It is not a reliable guide
    on the future direction of DITA. It should not be taken as guidance
    for using DITA or for developing DITA tools.
    
    Hopefully this will help you position your SC's work as necessary to 
    your audiences so that there is no public confusion about the authority 
    of such intermediate products. Of course, those materials then may be 
    later reviewed by and approved by the DITA TC as Committee Notes (or in 
    some cases, as inputs to future Committee Specifications).
    
    Subcommittee procedures are ultimately governed by the OASIS TC Process 
    document, http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#subcommittees 
    . This document was updated as of Oct 15, so please review any parts 
    that pertain to SC process and deliverables. Let me know if you have any 
    questions.

    Hi Don,
    
    The OASIS DITA for Enterprise Business Documents Subcommittee acknowledges receipt. We have updated the BusDocs wiki and will be updating subcommittee documents that have been posted to OASIS as soon as practical.

    By the way, I don't need replies to this note--it was just information 
    that the TC specifically wanted to get to the SC chairs.
