I'm working with the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property 
(http://www.ige.ch) on a project about the handling of patent documents.
One part of this project is the long-term archival of patent documents
in two different formats:
- a PDF version (more specifically PDF/A-1b)
- the original XML format plus images that were used to generate the PDF
(using Apache FOP, of course)

These two variants should be packed together in one single file together
with metadata. We wrote a small paper which discusses several simple
ways to accomplish this. We haven't found anything this simple on the
net so far. However, we found larger specifications (such as kopal's UOF)
which are probably too complex for our needs.

Here's the paper:

Does anyone have similar needs or does anyone know of an existing
specification which has a focus on simplicity rather than universality?
Or simply: Any thoughts, ideas, comments?

Thanks!
Jeremias Maerki
