Standards

XML-INTL is totally committed to the development and evangelization of Open Standards for the localization industry. We are passionate about Open Standards and have worked tirelessly within LISA, W3C and OASIS to provide a comprehensive Open Architecture for Authoring and Localization based on Open Standards. The culmination of this activity has been the creation of a new OASIS Technical Architecture Committee called OAXAL (Open Architecture for XML Authoing and Localization).

XTM Supports the following Open Standards:
  1. W3C ITS
  2. Unicode TR29
  3. LISA OSCAR SRX
  4. LISA OSCAR xml:tm
  5. LISA OSCAR TMX
  6. LISA OSCAR GMX
  7. OASIS XLIFF
  8. OASIS OAXAL

XML-INTL is a member of LISA and of the LISA OSCAR Steering committee. XML-INTL participates in key LISA OSCAR technical standard committees, including GMX and TBX Link.
XML-INTL has also donated the xml:tm standard to LISA OSCAR.  

XML-INTL also participates in a number of OASIS technical committees.  
XML-INTL also participates in the W3C ITS technical committee: A.Zydron CTO of XML-INTL is an invited expert on the W3C ITS TC.
