Microsoft Open XML moves closer to approval
Published: 05 Apr 2007 08:43 BST
Ecma International said on Monday that Office Open XML, the document format for the latest version of Microsoft Office, has moved to the next step in the standardisation process at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Office Open XML (OOXML) was approved as an Ecma International standard in December and submitted to the ISO for so-called fast-track approval. On Monday, Ecma said that it was told that the ISO has moved Open XML to the next step in the standardisation process and expects to make a final vote on it by 2 September. ISO standardisation would carry more significance than Ecma, particularly to government customers.
