Directory 1. Jeffrey Good, LSA letter to ANSI about Open Document Standards Message 1: LSA letter to ANSI about Open Document Standards
Date: 28-Feb-2007 From: Jeffrey Good <jcgoodbuffalo.edu> Subject: LSA letter to ANSI about Open Document Standards The LSA recently sent a letter to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) regarding the use of language codes in the Office Open XML (OOXML) document format, which is being proposed as an ISO standard. The letter advocates the use of the ISO 639-3 language code system in OOXML since this is the only existing coding system which attempts to cover all of the world's languages. More information can be found on the LSA's news page: http://lsadc.org/info/res-news.cfm Linguists with a stake in emerging standards for language resources may be interested in the issues addressed by this letter.
