XML Change Tracking Standard

Robin, in light of the Executive Order
<http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/carmel/EOOMRDwStyle.xml>  and accompanying OMB
policy memo <http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/carmel/M-13-13wStyle.xml>  making
openness, machine-readability, and data standards
<http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/carmel/M-13-13wStyle.xml#_78e85ef4-b91c-11e2-bf
2b-79d279ad226c>  the default for U.S. government information, the time may
be ripe to: 

 

a)      Specify XML schemas (XSDs) for all .gov records series
<http://www.slac.stanford.edu/history/terminology.shtml> , including
Executive Orders and OMB policy memos, for example;

b)      render the authoritative sources of .gov records in open, standard,
XML formats; and

c)       apply a W3C standard for tracking changes to them.

 

It would be a continuation of a series of unfortunate events
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Series_of_Unfortunate_Events>  dating back
more than a decade if the W3C (along with other SDOs like OASIS, AIIM &
ARMA) were to fail to capitalize on such an opportunity.

Subject: Next steps?

 

Things seem to have gone very quiet on this list - I have been trying to
contact our chairman, Mohamed, so far without success, to see how best to
move forward. That said, I have had a lot of folk asking how this is
progress and when there might be a W3C offering in change tracking!

It would be good if someone could help us move forward with a conference
call, meeting or other suggestion. 

Robin
