Standard Generalized Markup Language Encoding of the Office Document ArchitectureDocument Application Profile

摘要

The Office Systems Engineering Group (OSE) at the National Institute of Standardsand Technology (NIST) was tasked by the Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS') Project Office to bring CALS' requirements to the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Implementor's Workshop sponsored by NIST. CALS tasked the OSE Group to assist in the SGML encoding of the Office Document Architecture (ODA) Document Application Profile (DAP). NIST offered to encode the ODA DAP in the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) to illustrate the similarities between the two standards and to provide a common SGML/ASN.1 profile. The report describes in various levels of detail the two international standards. It then discusses, by offering a simple example, the methodology involved in performing an SGML encoding. Subsequently, it examines the SGML encoding of the ODA DAP. The report provides two accompanying tables with the SGML encoding and finishes with a brief summary of the two standards.
