  • Why ODF?” - the Importance of Opendocument Format for Governments
    “Why ODF?” - The Importance of OpenDocument Format for Governments Documents are the life blood of modern governments and their citizens. Governments use documents to capture knowledge, store critical information, coordinate activities, measure results, and communicate across departments and with businesses and citizens. Increasingly documents are moving from paper to electronic form. To adapt to ever-changing technology and business processes, governments need assurance that they can access, retrieve and use critical records, now and in the future. OpenDocument Format (ODF) addresses these issues by standardizing file formats to give governments true control over their documents. Governments using applications that support ODF gain increased efficiencies, more flexibility and greater technology choice, leading to enhanced capability to communicate with and serve the public. ODF is the ISO Approved International Open Standard for File Formats ODF is the only open standard for office applications, and it is completely vendor neutral. Developed through a transparent, multi-vendor/multi-stakeholder process at OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards), it is an open, XML- based document file format for displaying, storing and editing office documents, such as spreadsheets, charts, and presentations. It is available for implementation and use free from any licensing, royalty payments, or other restrictions. In May 2006, it was approved unanimously as an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard. Governments and Businesses are Embracing ODF The promotion and usage of ODF is growing rapidly, demonstrating the global need for control and choice in document applications. For example, many enlightened governments across the globe are making policy decisions to move to ODF.

    Pyslet Documentation Release 0.6.20160201 Steve Lay February 02, 2016 Contents 1 What’s New? 1 2 Compatibility 7 3 IMS Global Learning Consortium Specifications 13 4 The Open Data Protocol (OData) 101 5 Hypertext Transfer Protocol (RFC2616) 207 6 Other Supporting Standards 247 7 Welcome to Pyslet 357 Python Module Index 359 i ii CHAPTER 1 What’s New? As part of moving towards PEP-8 compliance a number of name changes are being made to methods and class at- tributes with each release. There is a module, pyslet.pep8, which contains a compatibility class for remapping missing class attribute names to their new forms and generating deprecation warnings, run your code with “python -Wd” to force these warnings to appear. As Pyslet makes the transition to Python 3 some of the old names will go away completely. It is still possible that some previously documented names could now fail (module level functions, function arguments, etc.) but I’ve tried to include wrappers or aliases so please raise an issue on Github if you discover a bug caused by the renaming. I’ll restore any missing old-style names to improve backwards compatibility on request. Finally, in some cases you are encouraged to derive classes from those defined by Pyslet and to override default method implementations. If you have done this using old-style names you will have to update your method names to prevent ambiguity. I have added code to automatically detect most problems and force fatal errors at runtime on construction, the error messages should explain which methods need to be renamed.

  • The Representation and Exchange of Material and Other Engineering Properties
    Data Science Journal, Volume 8, 24 September 2009 THE REPRESENTATION AND EXCHANGE OF MATERIAL AND OTHER ENGINEERING PROPERTIES Norman Swindells Ferroday Limited, 14 Mere Farm Road, UK-Birkenhead, CH43 9TT Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The representation of information and its exchange in a communication requires the use of a common information model to define the semantics and syntax of the representation and a common dictionary to define the meaning of the data items. These fundamental concepts are the basis of the new standard ISO 10303-235: 'Engineering properties for product design and verification' for the computer representation and exchange of material and any other engineering properties of a product and to provide an audit trail for the derivation of the property value. A related dictionary conforming to ISO 13584 can define testing methods and their properties and enable the information model to be used for any property of any product. Keywords: Materials properties, Data representation, Data exchange, Materials informatics, International standards 1 INTRODUCTION Engineering properties are essential information for design and manufacturing processes and play an increasing role in the management of products throughout their life-cycle, including the end-of-life phase. For these reasons it is necessary to be able to communicate the information about the meaning of these properties and their values efficiently and without ambiguity among many different software programs and to retain this information for the lifetime of the product, independently from any proprietary software. The fundamental requirement for the communication of information in a natural language is the combination of a common information model and a common dictionary.
