British Standards Institution (BSI) erklärt bedingte Zustimmung zu Open XML als ISO Standard

  • Article

Gestern im Laufe des Tages hat auch die British Standards Institution (BSI) Ihre Stimme zu Open XML bekannt gegeben.

Das liest sich dann so: 

UK response to the draft international standard, ISO/IEC DIS 29500 OOXML (ECMA 376)
3 September 2007

The UK has submitted its comments on the adoption of the draft of ISO/IEC DIS 29500 OOXML (also known as ECMA 376) to JTC1, the joint technical committee of ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, and IEC, the International Electrotechnical Commission.  The comments were collated after several months of technical review by industry experts.
JTC1/SC 34, a subcommittee of JTC1, will now prepare a document containing comments from all the National Standards Bodies which, if required, will be addressed at a ballot resolution meeting in February 2008 for the standardization process to continue.

ISO/IEC DIS 29500 OOXML is a 6000 page technical specification, produced by Ecma, the European Computer Manufacturers Association.  It was submitted to JTC1 by Ecma to become an International Standard following which, each national member of JTC1 tasked its own technical committee to reach a decision on its behalf. 

In the UK, a technical panel comprising large and small companies, public sector organisations, user groups, academia and government, was specially created to review ISO/IEC DIS 29500 OOXML.  It identified a number of technical issues in the document which need to be addressed before the UK can approve ISO/IEC DIS 29500 OOXML as an International Standard. 

Mike Low, Director of BSI British Standards, said, “BSI has led a rigorous review process on ISO/IEC DIS 29500 OOXML in the UK, considering hundreds of comments on the draft standard.  

The BSI technical committee will now work within JTC1/SC 34, during the next stage of the international standardization process, to resolve the comments that have been raised.”  

- Ends -

Das heißt, so wie in Deutschland oder den USA hat auch in Großbritannien die genaue Überprüfung des niedergeschriebenen Standards noch Verbesserungspotentiale aufgezeigt. Diese werden in einem internationalem Meeting in Genf im Februar gemeinsam überprüft, und nach gemeinsamen Beschluss umgesetzt.

So schreibt eben auch das BSI: [The comments] "will be addressed at a ballot resolution meeting in February 2008 for the standardization process to continue." und "The BSI technical committee will now work within JTC1/SC 34, during the next stage of the international standardization process, to resolve the comments that have been raised.” "

Also ein starkes Einbringen des BSI in die gemeinsame Überarbeitung des Entwurfs für einen ISO Standard, sowie auch die starke Willenserklärung, dass die Standardisierung von Open XML weitergeführt werden soll.
