It's great to see that NATO "has been very supporting on interoperability discussions", and - as they say in the link you provide - they have needs of internal and external digital communication. I'm glad to see that they're looking to Open Standards as a vehicle to achieve that interoperability. I hope the next step is replacing the usage of Microsoft Office propriety formats by those same open standards.Mind Booster Noorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655245207577274763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17758483.post-75655184515800519962008-07-24T10:59:00.000+01:002008-07-24T10:59:00.000+01:00Hi Marcos,Just to be very clear about your NATO an...Hi Marcos,<BR/><BR/>Just to be very clear about your NATO and Open XML piece:<BR/>NATO’s policy remains one of multiple formats as indicated in http://nhqc3s.nato.int/architecture/_docs/NISPv2/volume2/ch03s04.html ODF is just listed as an acceptable interoperability format just like ascii, rtf, pdf, office formats,...
