• ETSI LIS xml:tm
• ETSI LIS TMX
• ETSI LIS TBX
• ETSI LIS GMX
• OASIS XLIFF
• W3C/OASIS DITA (XHTML, DocBook, or any XML Vocabulary)
• Linport Interoperability: TIPP XLIFF:doc
Putting It All Together
• Open Architecture for XML Authoring and Localization (OAXAL)

Interoperability Now!/Linport
• XLIFF 1.2 implementation issues The broken promise Core fine Too many options Too many implementation issues
• Need to concentrate on the ‘I’ for Interchange• No way to ‘package’ up translation assets• The GOAL:
To be able to round trip transparently between different TMS/CAT tools

Interoperability Now!/Linport
• Born out of frustration and necessity• Early 2012• Members
• Bioloom Group• Kilgray• Medtronic• Ontram• Spartan Software• XTM-INTL
• The goal:• True 100% roundtrip interoperability between
TMS/CAT tools• May 2013 XTM International/Kilgray
• First 100% roundtripping
