I’m attaching what I believe to be the last email (from Francis) on that topic. Francis’s email points out that LibreOffice does not preserve foreign parts (or the version he tried didn’t). Is the Best Practices document intended to encourage LibreOffice to preserve them? <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'>Has using rich XML metadata been considered as a second example of a foreign part? I would very much like to see that added. ONIX (as used by Francis) is a good example for a DOCX document. ISO 19139 (Geographic Information – Metadata – XML schema implementation) might be appropriate for an XLSX document.<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'> Have fun in Beijing!<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'> Caroline<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Caroline Arms<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Library of Congress Contractor<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Co-compiler of Sustainability of Digital Formats resource http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/<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'>** Views expressed are personal and not necessarily those of the institution **<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Francis Cave [mailto:francis@franciscave.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, August 21, 2014 11:26 AM<br><b>To:</b> e-SC34-WG4@ecma-international.org<br><b>Subject:</b> WML document containing metadata as a foreign part<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Further to discussion on today’s WG4 telecon, I attach a WML file in which I have embedded some ONIX metadata – see docProps/onix.xml – which is one of the metadata examples mentioned by Murata-san. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>In _rels/.rels I have added:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#000096'><Relationship</span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#F5844C'> Target</span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#FF8040'>=</span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#993300'>"docProps/onix.xml"</span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#F5844C'> Type</span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#FF8040'>=</span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#993300'>"<a href="http://www.example.com/relationships/foreign-metadata">http://www.example.com/relationships/foreign-metadata</a>"</span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#F5844C'> Id</span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#FF8040'>=</span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#993300'>"rId4"</span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#000096'>></span><span lang=EN-GB><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>If I open the document in MS Office (Word 2013), then save it, the foreign part and associated Relationship are preserved.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>However, if I open the same document in LibreOffice, then save it (in WML format), the foreign part and associated Relationship are dropped. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>So we cannot recommend this approach without making it clear that consuming applications may choose to ignore such foreign parts.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Francis<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
