Using ODA for Translating Multimedia
1. Status of this
The purpose of this RFC is to inform implementors of
systems about our experiences using ISO 8613: Office
Architecture (ODA). Because ODA is being proposed as an
format for use in multimedia mail and file exchange,
wishing to use ODA in an open systems environment may profit from
experiences. This memo provides information for the
community. It does not specify any standard. Distribution of
memo is unlimited
2.
ODA is a recently approved ISO (8613) and CCITT (T.410) standard
representing documents containing multifont text, raster images
geometric graphics. This encoding has been specified for use in
number of related standards, such as X.400.
However, ODA is a very abstract standard, defining entities such
"composite logical object classes" and not common entities, such
"paragraphs". Therefore, effective use of ODA as an
medium requires the definition of a document application
(dap) that defines some common entities and a map between
entities defined in the dap and entities used in the
systems
3. EXPRES
The National Science Foundation funded the EXPRES project,
consisted of groups at Carnegie Mellon University (
Technology Center) and the University of Michigan (Center
Information Technology Integration). These two groups
with groups at McDonnell-Douglas Aerospace Information Systems, NIST
and Interleaf. Together, the five groups investigated the use of
as an interchange medium for submitting research proposals
electronic mail to the National Science Foundation
Part of the investigations yielded strategies for using ODA. We
our strategies on the NIST dap and the features provided by
Andrew, Diamond, and Interleaf systems. Our experiences
documented and published in a book [1]. The discussion may

if you see any problems within the linking, don't worry be happy,
this is version 0.1 of the Relevance System and you gotta expect some crappy subroutines sometimes,
just be content we did not write this in Java, which would have made this "bigger and better" HAHAHHA.
RFC documents can be found at I.E.T.F.
