<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I think it would be great for
WG4 members to participate in the work Fraunhofer is doing. Microsoft is a
participant and we’ve been working with Fraunhofer to kick off the
project, but it’s open to participation by anyone, and I hope many
experts will be able and willing to contribute. There is an upcoming DII
workshop scheduled for Cambridge, UK on April 27 that Fraunhofer will lead, and
the primary purpose of that event will be to refine the plans for the document
test suite and validator. I’ll share details of that event with WG4
soon. Anyone who has opinions about how to proceed is welcome to participate.
Microsoft will host the event, but I think we’ll only have a couple of
people there. (I’m not able to attend myself.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Regarding the question of our
resources within WG4, I do believe we should strive to keep WG4 focused on the
task of IS29500 maintenance. So it seems to me that the best way to get
involved may be as individuals, or representatives of our employers or other
organizations, rather than through WG4 itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Perhaps somebody with more
JTC1/SC34 experience than me can comment, but I believe there’s something
in the Directives about not getting involved in conformance testing or similar activities.
Do I remember that correctly? But in any case, that’s just a potential
issue for WG4 itself, and not for each of us as members. I hope WG4 members will
get involved in the Fraunhofer project, because there is much directly relevant
expertise represented within WG4.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>From the blog of Doug I noticed the work going on between
Microsoft and Frauenhofer regarding document validity at <a
href="http://www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/en/elan/projekte/international/laufende_projekte/Document-Interop_Lab/index.html">http://www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/en/elan/projekte/international/laufende_projekte/Document-Interop_Lab/index.html</a>
..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Given the expertise in WG4, I would find it obvious if we
took some part in this work (if they’ll let us). I could also imagine
that the work (important as it is) would gain credibility by being in some way
founded/based/supported by WG4 and not “just being” some work
exclusively between Microsoft and Frauenhofer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am not sure if there is any interest in WG4 for this
– or if we have the resources, but I do think it would be a good task to
contribute to. We could e.g. use our format knowledge in assisting in creation
of test documents for the project.<o:p></o:p></p>
