Subject: Where to store change-tracking information?
Greetings! Idling away the weekend looking more closely at the capabilities of ISO 29500 for change tracking. ;-) Each to his own. At least for spreadsheets (I haven't gotten to documents yet), I found the following: ***** 12.3.17 Shared Workbook Revision Log Part .... A Shared Workbook Revision Log part shall be located within the package containing the relationships part (expressed syntactically, the TargetMode attribute of the Relationship element shall be Internal). ***** I understand that to mean that revision logs are held *internal* to the package. To host them elsewhere, would be a non-conforming document. Yes? Anyone with a contrary reading? I mention that because if we are in a networked environment (I've heard rumors we are), then revisions/changes could be hosted at some remote location. Perhaps either for backup, collaboration, or auditing purposes. Imagine that a regulatory agency has distributed its spreadsheet for reporting data and it wants to host the revision/change tracking. If you are being honest in your record keeping, what would you valid objection be? ;-) Anyway, it occurred to me while reviewing OOXML that revision/change tracking for ODF needs to support both internal and *external* hosting of revision/change tracking data. If change tracking data approaches the smaller end of cell phone type messages, I am wondering what legitimate objections there could be to *external* storage? Thoughts? Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Patrick PS: When I finish this study document I will be posting it but purely as a personal work product. I am proofing it against ISO 29500 but you *should only use it* as capturing where you should look for the real details. -- Patrick Durusau patrick@durusau.net Technical Advisory Board, OASIS (TAB) Editor, OpenDocument Format TC (OASIS), Project Editor ISO/IEC 26300 Co-Editor, ISO/IEC 13250-1, 13250-5 (Topic Maps) Another Word For It (blog): http://tm.durusau.net Homepage: http://www.durusau.net Twitter: patrickDurusau
