Xerox Announces Circus-DTE Programming Language for Document Transformation.
An experimental programming language developed at Xerox Research Centre of Europe in Grenoble, France has been released for testing. Circus-DTE is a new, innovative programming language designed for document transformation processing. It natively supports XML (DTDs) and is particularly suited to data processing or the transformation of structured documents: it automatically validates output results for reliable input into other applications. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2003-01-08-b.html
OASIS Forms Extensible Resource Identifier (XRI) Technical Committee.
OASIS members have formed a new technical committee to establish a common identification scheme for distributed directory services. The Extensible Resource Identifier (XRI) Technical Committee purposes to create a URI scheme and a corresponding URN namespace for distributed directory services that enable the identification of resources (including people and organizations) and the sharing of data across domains, enterprises, and applications. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2003-01-08-a.html
Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Provides XML Interchange Format for Public Safety Reports.
A draft version 0.6 of the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) has been published by the CAP Techincal Working Group, including an XML Schema, data dictionary, and other documentation. CAP is an open, non- proprietary standard data interchange format that can be used to collect all types of hazard warnings and reports locally, regionally and nationally, for input into a wide range of information-management and warning dissemination systems. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2003-01-06-a.html
