Microsoft OOXML pass a barrier is homebred UOF can care

April 11, 2008

Although average consumer is right of the standard contend for do not catch a cold, but to industrial group it is final examination of life and death however.

Come nearly two years, microsoft is sought all the time obtain international Organization for Standardization (ISO) the international Electrotechnical Committee that reachs its subordinate (IEC) the approval that combines technical committee member, in order to make its OOXML (OfficeOpenXML) make international standard. Kongfu does not lose an observant and conscientious person, powerful technology and public relations actual strength, cooperate with clever compromise (OOXM supports all sorts of XML documentation forms, include to have international standard ODF and GB UOF among them) , get countervail place to wish eventually: ISO issued announcement a few days ago, call OOXML of voting already approval new open standard.

ODF (OpenDocumen) the format already was maintained to be documentation international standard by ISO 2006, can come true free land exchanges a document between different program, platform, needing to distinguish is why to be planted the document that uses program generation, main supportive firm is Corel, IBM, Opera, inscriptions on bones or tortoise shells of the Shang Dynasty, red cap and red flag Chinese 2000 wait. Its make international standard, from theoretic the office software product that means other before firm must the situation of compatible Microsoft product produced complete change, the Office of Microsoft will conversely compatible ODF, many people more think this action is the ISO major victory in antitrust respect.

Apparent, this one idea is more innocent do not rely on chart quite. After all the market of Microsoft Office is had rate already exceeded 90% , mastering standard of office software fact. The side of bed, hold another person soporous? Microsoft drives OpenXML to make international standard with all one’s strength, the purpose already was Sima Zhaozhi heart.

OOXML pass a barrier, chinese country is own format standard UOF (maintain formally last year in May for level of documentation format state, carry out at be being promulgated since September) care of can of foreground it may be said. The Ceng Duizhi austral Niguang of academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering expresses great expectations, point out ” begin to be able to drive the innovation chain that includes Office software, operating system and CPU from UOF, the development that promoted software of Chinese IT industry and hardware foundation ” , appeal China but the TD of 3G of follow the lead of, advocate push UOF.

However, care of UOF foreground can, because be opposite at the country relatively,be of TD give aid to strength is mixed participate in resurgence, China to wait for TD company actual strength, UOF promotion environment nots allow hopeful. In industrial group key point, long-term seeing documentation format level can be a kind only. Handling official bussiness by right of Microsoft the absolutely forestall of software market, UOF wants to contend OOXML, almost impossible.

Accordingly, UOF wants to serve as somewhat, rational manner, be must increase strength to develop the converter between OOXML and UOF on one hand, implementation is better communicate; It is active on the other hand declare UOF for international standard (ODF and OOXML make known his position to support UOF to make international standard) , connect a horizontal stroke with ODF, enhance the sth used to one’s own advantage that contends with OOXML. In this respect, ODF goes in front, its already sent invitation letter to China, the proposal organizes one Joint Technical Committee, below Chinese dominant, two standards ” shirt-sleeve ” rise.

Send a hope to be protected at the country, send a hope to carry out UOF standard at enforcing, below opener and opener environment, of its obstruction can be imagined greatly, the ancient bronze mirror of WAPI, before Che Weiyuan.
