Interoperability and innovation
17
Ways to Achieve Technical Interoperability

• Implementation of open standards
• Examples HTTP, HTML, TCP/IP, 802.11, XML
• Publicly available technical specifications
• Examples Java, Adobe PDF, Windows APIs and
  communications protocols
• Licensing of a companys technical innovations to
  others
• Examples licenses, agreements with JBoss, Real,
  Sun, Nokia, Palm, Symbian, Yahoo

XML
19
XML StrategyBuilt by design for
Interoperability

• Strategic Industry Alignment XML XML Web
  Services standards
• Remove barriers to enable data interoperability
  e.g. across Documents Servers
• Enable new scenarios - Documents and Data
  intertwined
• Enabler for Mobile Devices, Multiple Form Factors

Shared service oriented architecture (fx http,
XML, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI)
Documents
20
Maturation of File Formats
Rich, Open Data-centric
Flat, Opaque Document-centric
21
Imagine a World of XML Documents

• Data access via spreadsheets, documents,
  presentations
• Backend LOB systems focused on integration via
  XML
• Content in formats drive everyday business
  processes
• More useful web services applications
• Millions of developers
• Smart workflow management
• Powerful content management
• Auditing, tracking, regulatory requirements
• Interoperability across groups, divisions,
  companies, products
• Public records maintenance
• Preservation of our written digital Heritage

22
Open File Formats

• MS Office XML formats are open and available for
  anyone
• EU review of open document formats in 2004
• Acknowledged progress of both MS and Sun towards
  document interoperability
• Encouraged MS to make formats a standard
• Noted importance of custom defined schema
• Massachusetts mandate Sept 2005
• Rekindled interest in mandating open standards
  only

23
Why Office Open XML now?The stars are aligned

• Industry adoption of XML across Software
  Infrastructure Across Platforms (Databases,
  Connectivity, Services, Workflow, Documents)
• Wide User Demand
• Wide Governments and Public Institutions needs
• Digital Preservation becoming critical
• We believe
• It is great for public and private sector
  customers the creators of documents.
• It is great for enabling new levels of
  integration with line of business applications.
• It is great for the industry to drive a new level
  of opportunities

24
Office Open XML Formats

• Mature (20 years) deep, broad set of
  characteristics used by billions of documents and
  millions of users XML design and translation
  started 9 years ago
• Designed to represent all information of .doc,
  .ppt, .xls in XML
• 100 compatibility with .doc, .ppt, .xls
• All format characteristics, styles, content,
  options in binary formats represented in open XML
  formats
• Default format for Microsoft Office from now on
• Billions of existing documents to be converted
  to XML
• Free add-ons for past versions
• Default file format for Office 12
• Bulk converters for documents

25
Why ECMA?

• European-centered organization, worldwide
  participation
• Longevity, credibility, broad acceptance
• Efficient path to ISO certification
• Open process, yet gets results, not delays
• Less susceptible to narrow, small impediments
• Clear procedural rules
• Well run
• Past Microsoft experience and success
• Excellent industry experience and success
• Broad, deep, representative membership
