Subject: Resolution to initiate a Semiconductor Subcommittee
At the May 15 DITA TC meeting with quorum, the TC passed a unanimous resolution to form a Semiconductor Subcommittee based on the proposal materials submitted by Bob Beims and Seth Park. I request your help to set up the facilities for Bob and Seth to begin their activities in this new DITA TC subcommittee. Thanks! Minuted resolution: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200705/msg00028.html zipped proposal materials: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200705/msg00031.html The text of the zipped file is: OASIS DITA Technical Committee Semiconductor Information Design Subcommittee Charter Prepared by Bob Beims and Seth Park (Freescale Semiconductor) Purpose of This Document This document is intended to be a starting point for discussions regarding the creation of the Semiconductor Information Design Subcommittee (SIDSC). After initial discussion, the content in this document should be crafted to be the Charter for SIDSC. All following headings are relevant to SIDSC (not the Charter, itself). Goals Identify data patterns that are consistent and/or specific to the semiconductor industry. Examples may include: Features Instruction sets data (may not have standard/native syntax/data structure) Register data Signals data Mechanicals data Electrical characteristics Timing data Thermal characteristics Most of these content types/structures are well-defined by other standards, such as IP-XACT, IEC-61360, IEEE-P1685, etc.; others are not. This committee will define how information stored in standards-based formats will interact with DITA systems. Data stored in other XML formats may be used in a number of ways, including (but not limited to): Data is referenced as “foreign” content Data is transformed from native format to DITA Determine which content types/patterns justify the creation of a DITA specialization. Create specializations. Establish guidelines and XSLT for transforming specialized data. Create metadata guidelines. Provide high-level perspective of how DITA systems should interface with RTL, Verilog, design flow tools, and other relevant tools, processes, and standard data formats. Consider role of SVG, TDML, MATHML and characterize how they should interact with DITA. The recommendations of this committee should have enough weight to re-energize ownership and development of neglected domains. Provide justification for standardizing semiconductor industry and propose business benefits of participating in SIDSC. Name: Semiconductor Information Design SC This name does not limit the scope of our findings and relevance to specializations. Deliverables All files required to successfully implement all specialized topic types (which will be defined at a later time), including: Schema, MOD files, XSLT Supporting online documentation (created in DITA) and hosted on Oasis web site Recommendations for the “role of DITA” in semiconductor information design.
