xml:tm ( XML based T ext M emory) has been approved on 17th July 2006 by the LISA OSCAR Steering Committee for public comment prior to final ratification as a standard. XML-INTL has provided the driving force and technical architecture for this critical Localization Industry Standard. The xml:tm standard was developed by XML-INTL and donated to LISA OSCAR for consideration as an OSCAR standard. "This is a great day for the XML and localization communities. xml:tm provides a radical new way of approaching the authoring and localization of XML documents. It is a perfect companion standard to DITA (Darwin Information Technology Architecture)" stated XML-INTL CTO Andrzej Zydroń.
