7th July 1999
There is still a requirement for a common interface standard of information
exchange between different systems involved in orienteering competition administration and
there is expectations from vendors and users that the project will solve some of their
interface problems. It has been an in-active period since March and we have tried to
restart whole project. A problem investigation with alternative solutions and consequences
was hoped to act like a catalyst, but no effects of that have been seen yet.
Messages and attributes
There is a proposal for attributes published 1999-01-15 and we
assume that it will cover the primary requirement of information.
Syntax
Ian Watson has made a proposal for a XML-based syntax
that we hope will give us back the active discussion from project start in October 1998.
Ian has point out some alternatives to use the new XML syntax for out purposes.
Miscellaneous
We will also try to arrange an open meeting in the 5th of August
close to WOC in Inverness.
