OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC

While writing up the minutes for today's call it hit me that I goofed on the discussion of the relevance of OpenFormula to the W3C's work. For some crazy reason I mentioned XSLT as relevant. This is not really true. The relevant connection would be to XPath, which has a "core function library", which could be supplemented: http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#corelib XForms, for example, keeps the basic syntax of XPath but supplements it with additional functions: http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms/#expr-lib OpenFormula (at least the function library) could be a another source of extension functions.

Rob, Sorry about missing the meeting this morning! I was on another machine and when I didn't see an agenda early this morning, I assumed there was no meeting. On relevance of OpenFormula, would that be to XPath 2.0 and XQuery? (probably functions and operators) Hope you are at the start of a great week!

This appears to be a restatement of some of this: http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/ I think historically it started in XPath, then was reused in XSLT, XQuery and XForms. There is a lot of overlap, but also some specialized functions that appear in only one place. For example, XForms 1.1 has a function for validating credit card checksums, and a function for calculating a cryptographic hash of a string. -Rob Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net> wrote on 05/23/2011 01:23:37 PM: > From: Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net> > To: office@lists.oasis-open.org > Date: 05/23/2011 01:23 PM > Subject: Re: [office] OpenFormula relevance > > Rob, > > Sorry about missing the meeting this morning! > > I was on another machine and when I didn't see an agenda early this > morning, I assumed there was no meeting. > > On relevance of OpenFormula, would that be to XPath 2.0 and XQuery? > (probably functions and operators) > > Hope you are at the start of a great week! > > Patrick > > On 5/23/2011 1:00 PM, robert_weir@us.ibm.com wrote: > > While writing up the minutes for today's call it hit me that I goofed on > > the discussion of the relevance of OpenFormula to the W3C's work.
