7 ODP Viewpints In the TR the enterprise view is fcusing n use cases describing hw a dcument is used in a specific scenari. In the TR the cmputatinal view is fcusing n the features and functinalities f a dcument. The what is described, independent f hw the feature is implemented in the particular standard. In the TR the infrmatin view is fcusing n hw the functinality and features f a dcument are implemented in the standards. The dcument structure and its XML markup are described. In the TR the engineering view is fcusing n hw the features and structures are translated and preserved in the translatin prcess. In the TR the technical view is fcusing n available resurces and tls fr creating, editing and translating dcuments. 7

9 Apprach Define translatin types and fidelities Identify dcument features and functins frm standards Use translatin types and fidelities t categrize use cases Assciate use cases with required features Analyze hw features and functins can be translated between ODF and OOXML 9

10 Dcument prperties Translatin fidelities Presentatin instructins include layut and presentatin related infrmatin such as fnts, spacing, margins, clr, and animatin in ffice dcuments. Dcument cntent cvers all prperties f cntent such as text, graphics and frmulas defined directly by the authr f a dcument. Dynamic cntent cvers all aspects f autmatically generated cntent, calculatins r frm functinalities such as fields, generated tables, r dynamic references. Meta data cver all infrmatin apart frm the cre dcument cntent. Metadata are used t describe meta infrmatin abut the dcument such as generatr, versin, authrs, and t ensure the accessibility f dcuments, fr instance by using certificates. Anntatin cvers all aspects abut anntatins t a dcument, change tracking, and cllabrative functins. Dcument parts cver all aspects (editing semantics) f structural dcument prperties such as paragraphs, headings, headers, fters, tables, lists, tables, ftntes, indices, and captins. 10

26 Cnclusins Like fr many ther interperability related prblems it is impssible t define a generic slutin f the translatin prblem. But it seems t be realistic t intrduce subsets r prfiles f dcument features that are imprtant fr specific applicatin areas and that avid fancy features that may be nice t use but prevent interperability. Fr such subsets a crrespnding dcument mdel including mappings t available dcument frmats can be frmally defined and validated. Such an apprach slves the prblem resulting frm different versins f the dcument frmats and eases the definitin f translatin rules between the different frmats. Different tls will in many cases prduce different results f a translatin between the tw dcument frmats. Therefre the tl must be carefully chsen depending n the given requirements, the available envirnments and the intentin f the dcument's prducers and cnsumers. A cmprehensive dcumentatin f hw a standard is interpreted and implemented helps a lt t understand the behaviur f the apprpriate ffice suites and the implementatin f filters and translatin rules. Therefre it seems t be desirable t prvide cmprehensive dcumentatin such as the descriptin f the ODF implementatin in Micrsft Office, the cmmunity frum f OpenOffice.rg, and t further activities like the OASIS interperability and Cnfrmance TC. It shuld be identified clearly which parts f a standard allw different implementatins and prbably have t be refined in later versins. The TR is fcusing n the translatin between the tw standards nt n the features f available implementatins. 26
