Ecma is requesting comments on XPS

Posted at 2008-06-29 06:37 by Wictor Wilén in XPS , Office Open XML with 5 comments.

Ecma International is currently asking ISO members for comments on the XPS standard. XPS is a new XML based standard for a paginated document format, somewhat like PDF.

The current working draft 1.2 is now publicly available for anyone and the technical committee (TC46) of Ecma is requesting comments on the XPS draft. They also provide an issue list with all identified problems and an optional status.

XPS has gained a lot of support from hardware/printer manufacturers, such as Konica Minolta and Xerox and software companies such NiXPS and SANATech.

Ecma, and Microsoft, is taking this process a bit slower than the previous and controversial OOXML fast-track, which is good for everyone. Let’s see how the comments (or FUD) looks like this time…

Screenshot from websnpr Ecma will standardize it first and then submit it to ISO.
#  ISO 13485 Implementation by Trackback
Screenshot from websnpr The latest ISO 9001 registration data shows impressive growth. The number of ISO 9001 certifications issued worldwide for quality management systems reached 670,399 at the end of 2004, an increase of 35 percent over the previous year, according to ISO. This increase in new ISO 9001 certificates is the highest recorded since the organization launched its annual ISO survey in 1993.
