International Standards Create Trust
International Standards adhere to strict rules of procedure and maintenance
Decision making based on consensus principle
All stakeholders can raise their voice – no changes that are just in the interest of single parties
A document coded in compliance with an International Standard will be accessible also far beyond shutdown of the last PC

The PDF Case
International Standards as basis for sustained use of a wide-spread technology
1993 Adobe Systems develops PDF as a platform independent description format for digital documents
The format is proprietary, but documentation is made available by Adobe
Increasing use of PDF in many areas
Starting 2001 ISO Standards on PDF/X: Application of PDF in pre-press – more efficient exchange of setting copies
2005 ISO Standard on PDF/A: Application of PDF for long-time archiving – ensuring completeness and integrity of documentation presentation for the future
2007 Abobe Systems proposes PDF to become an ISO Standard
2008 ISO Standard on PDF/E: Application of PDF for technical documentation
2008 PDF 1.7 released as International Standard ISO 32000

DIN functions as a "round table" – and increasingly as an electronic platform – where stakeholders can develop modern consensus-based standards suited to market needs
DINorganizes the entire
standardization processat national level and

ISO/IEC 26300 and ISO/IEC DIS 29500 – History in brief
Governments, companies, institutions: Long-term accessibility of electronic documents requires fully documented, standardardized document formats
Emphatic requirement to software manufacturers to provide such formats
End 2006: Open Document Format (ODF) released as ISO/IEC 26300 (after JTC 1 PAS procedure, submitter: OASIS)Focus: XML*) based, lean formatProponents: Sun, IBM, Novell et al.
End 2006: ECMA-376 Office Open XML (OOXML) submitted to ISO/IEC JTC 1 as Fast Track Proposal – processed as ISO/IEC DIS**) 29500 Focus: XML based, full backward compatibility to Microsoft Office formatsProponent: Microsoft
Nov. 2008: ISO/IEC 29500 to be released after controversial discussions
*) eXtensible Markup Language **) Draft International Standard

And Now?
Two International Standards for office documents
Overlapping, but not identical scope
Maintenance of ISO/IEC 26300 (ODF) currently with OASIS – under discussion
New WG*) created within ISO to handle maintenance of ISO/IEC 29500 (OOXML)
Additional WG**) created to handle document interoperability
Based on initiative from Germany
Current project: translation between ODF and OOXML – Technical Report under way
*) ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34/WG 4 **) ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34/WG 5

Outlook
The good message
The dominant office document formats are codified as International Standards
The drop of bitterness
There are two, not one
The opportunity
Widely used formats under public control
Clearly defined interoperability frame or full convergence
The users to decide on take-up of the best format
