I just received a Call For Papers from a conference called TAP 2015, part of
STAF 2015. I had no idea about either. Details at
<http://www.disim.univaq.it/staf2015/>.
TAP seems to intersect with work I have been doing about testing versus proving
with regard to document formats and assessing whether an interchange is
acceptably interoperable.
There are other interesting bits. I am keeping my eye on this, even though my
eyes continue to be bigger than my intellectual stomach in this area.
Meanwhile, I am sitting in on a local meeting of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34/WG8 on
Monday, February 23. WG8 deals with document interoperability, Document
Container Format, and other little subprojects. SC34 is also where maintenance
of the international versions of ODF (in WG6) and OOXML (WG4) occur. There is
a short conference call related to ODF (basically for resolution of a few
comments on the acceptance of ODF 1.2 as an International Standard). There are
three days of meetings on OOXML, which sees heavier and continuous maintenance
(working on version 5 now, I think).
Another way this may be related to Corinthia is the presence of MURATA Makoto,
who did work on tree transformations. I am going to find out if his early
papers on that are available anywhere in English.
There will be no one at WG8 from the Beijing project that is working with
interoperability and interoperability assessment by a common abstraction model.
I owe HOU Xia some follow-up email discussion.
