Do you need tools to support document interoperability?

News: Submitted by tim.mcgrath on Thu, 2008-11-20 04:36.

Data interoperability remains an important problem in the industry today which is handled by the mapping experts and data consultants who understand the semantic meaning of each entity in a specific interface and define the mappings among different document artifacts, usually as XSLT rules.

In order to facilitate this costly and tedious process, the OASIS SET TC
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=set)
has been established.
