Editor’s note

A few days ago, a competition about standard of documentation format international, pull open sadly prelusive.

China made those who fit Chinese national condition about the unit, the UOF of open documentation format that is based on XML, already made national standard. UOF, regard China as homebred documentation standard, become the crucial factor that casts off foreigner of technical standard be enslaved to be enslaved to. Meanwhile, microsoft also tries to be organized through international standard ” poll quickly ” passageway, the OOXML level that yields Microsoft makes international standard. Object strongly of the Chinese expert that Microsoft this action is a delegate with Ni Guangna of project courtyard academician by and Chinese software company. In July 2007, ni smooth Na Zhuanwen appeals Chinese government is right the OOXML nay of Microsoft, he calls Microsoft this action ” a scale of information field throughout history is the largest ‘ enter into an election contest ‘ activity ” , once pass,point out Microsoft standard, “Likely the advantage of standard of fact of format of nip old documentation, the world with format of documentation of OOXML unify XML ” .

Last year in the first round of voting September 2, microsoft OOXML was not obtained through. This year Feburary, will undertake one round polling finally.

By who is the game regulation of domain of science and technology made?

Can have China said to Microsoft ” not ” ?

Do we still have many from international standard far?

Since 10 years before because of ” willow Ni Zhi is contended for ” exit associate after the group, ni Guangna basically fades out of media eye shot. Appeal this, let people remember this again not only very individualizing old scientist, on the UOF of Chinese documentation standard that also lets the public running look focusing for it in him.

　　 In software domain, china can say completely to Microsoft ” not “

Chinese youth signs up for: Hear, microsoft OOXML has referred ISO(international standard to organize — complier is noted) ” swift passage ” , preparation makes OOXML makes international standard, last year September 2 voting after be being overruled, went reentry one round to poll this year in Feburary.

Ni Guangna: Yes, as international the standard can have a few very high demands, include to open gender, intellectual property and itself technology content to wait. Whole world of before one period raised 3522 questions in all to the OOXML of Microsoft, it wants to make international standard or have the place that a lot of need discuss and improves. China also cast blackball. Wanted to attend a meeting in Geneva in Feburary, undertake polling again even.

Chinese youth signs up for: Is this last rounds voting? Can you still have other program?

Ni Guangna: If pass, OOXML becomes a standard from present draft resolution. If had been not connected, microsoft cannot walk along this again ” swift passage ” , must take another more normative technological process, that is about to discuss through relapsing, be a more lengthy process.

Chinese youth signs up for: To contend with Microsoft standard photograph, we also are in now make international standard for national level UOF and try hard. Has been China had in domain of information science and technology say to Microsoft ” not ” actual strength?

Ni Guangna: Information market scale of China is too large. The mobile phone user of our country has been the world the first. Netizen dimensions also is about to be the world the first. In a few traditional domains, for instance the industry such as plane, car, we still need to compare long time ability to catch up with a developed country, but information science and technology is a completely different domain, at present is lying change period. China can produce late advantage completely, implementation spans type develops. Resemble be based on the documentation standard of XML, it is a new standard, to who same, include Microsoft, it is everybody stands on a scratch line this, we have actual strength to contend with Microsoft.

Now, china has market dominant position not only, also have talent advantage, china ought to take his speech seriously to counterpoise, can be opposite completely in software domain Microsoft says ” not ” .

Chinese youth signs up for: Several days ago, microsoft expresses will ” firm support UOF ” , hope UOF and OOXML make international standard jointly, are they what to kind of consideration stem from?

Ni Guangna: Microsoft made a few concession really, basically be to hope to pass the sort of making known one’s position that alleviate of Chinese respect object. On the other hand, world each country was carried so many opinion, microsoft also needs to undertake a few improve, this is it a kind of compromise that makes below the pressure that comes from a whole world.

Because China is on the foundation of homebred Office software, developed UOF standard independently, have huge market again, china had had very great speech to counterpoise in office software domain. Now, our UOF standard got the affirmation of Microsoft OOXML and international standard ODF, they are in twice had shown actively to China, the hope combines China, strengthen oneself competitive position. Can say, present active advantageous position depends on us.

Chinese youth signs up for: We notice, after Microsoft makes known his position to support UOF, you are in made feedback for a short while, perceive your mood or withhold somewhat, it is to want ” hear its talk, watch its to go ” ?

Ni Guangna: We are right of Microsoft make known our position to express to welcome, but hope they can have more real operations. Microsoft states support develops UOF and OOXML between ” converter ” , information of format of documentation of termless open binary system. After all ” converter ” do how, we can have the result through evaluating ability even.

Can say, this is not a pure technology contend for, however of forestall and antitrust contend for. Because documentation is the main carrier of information, this also is advantageous position of control of an information natural resources contend for, the impact is very big.

In the past, our documentation standard is Microsoft illicit some, it is DOC format standard, this already made standard of a fact, existing very big safe hidden trouble. Because it is not open, it can add the information that place of a few users does not know in documentation. And the standard of Microsoft the Office software of can compatible itself, can create new monopoly, go against the development of homebred software.

If Microsoft was done according to acceptance really, if be being improved somewhat in open sex respect, although OOXML standard makes international standard, also affect to our UOF standard not quite, microsoft says ” converter ” make two standards can be changed freely, so homebred UOF can put hand promotion to apply. These standards perhaps can coexist inside proper time. But, will look with respect to historical experience, final documentation standard can have only. Like making factual standard all the time with respect to the Microsoft is old DOC standard before resembling. The use habit of people causes this.
