This document details an environment [<a href="#spec-ZIP" title="[Spec-0.6-ZIP]"><b><span class="abbrev">Spec-0.6-ZIP</span></b></a>] and methodology for writing an OASIS specification document using XML markup, and publishing the resulting document to HTML and printed results conforming to OASIS layout conventions.</p><p>
While this has been prepared before, a new version of this environment and methodology is required to accommodate the latest conventions adopted by the OASIS TC Administration.</p><p>
The stylesheets for this version of this environment will remain static while the prose methodology documents and samples may be revised from time to time. Should it be necessary to revise the stylesheets, this version of the environment will left unchanged on the OASIS web site and a new version of the stylesheets and prose documents will be started. Check the persistent location noted above for any revisions to this environment.</p><p>
These stylesheets use XSLT [<a href="#xslt" title="[XSLT]"><b><span class="abbrev">XSLT</span></b></a>] as the transformation expression language to produce the final HTML result. XSLT is also used to produce the intermediate XSL-FO [<a href="#xsl-fo" title="[XSL-FO]"><b><span class="abbrev">XSL-FO</span></b></a>] pagination semantics, which in turn are available to be processed to produce printable results.</p><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="d0e182"></a>1.1 Terminology</h3></div></div></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="d0e185"></a>1.1.1

stylesheet association (see <a href="#sassoc" title="3.4

HTML stylesheet in the runtime package directory distributed with the

Authoring in XML</h2></div></div></div><p>
An important objective of using XML markup when writing content is to separate what you are writing from how it is formatted and presented. Moreover, describing the individual components of your writing uniquely can allow machine processing of your content. Such machine processing can identify constructs and process them individually as required for the processed result.</p><p>
The vocabulary of XML markup is the level of granularity used to identify constituent information items, and the collection of element and attribute labels applied to the granules.</p><p>
Applying styling to documents is an example of machine processing. The processed result is a formatted representation of your document. When many authors use the same vocabulary, or a given author creates many documents with the same vocabulary, a single set of processes will produce consistently formatted results across the document set.</p><p>
This process is analogous to using styles found in most desktop publishing applications, however by removing from the author the ability to inject arbitrary formatting of information items in their content, two benefits are realized: (a) the author no longer needs to think about formatting, only about appropriately labeling the information items in the content; and (b) authors cannot inadvertently format components of a document with incorrect or inconsistent results.</p><p>
Many writers do, however, prefer the use of their favorite desktop publishing applications and OASIS has posted at <a href="http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/" target="_top">http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/</a> a number of templates for widely-adopted word processing programs to be used in the creation of OASIS specifications. Users must be diligent in the use of styles in order to ensure their work conforms to the presentation conventions requested of OASIS. There is an obligation incumbent on the writer to verify their work has not violated the requested conventions, and there are no automated tools with which to validate the constraints have been respected.</p><p> When creating OASIS specifications using XML the burden of formatting is
placed on the stylesheets, not on the writer. The obligation of the
writer is only to be conformant to the DocBook document model for which
the included stylesheets have been designed, and there are automated
validation tools with which the writer can validate the constraints have
not been respected. The writer is also obligated to follow conventions
that reflect the requirements of the OASIS TC Administration for
specification documents, though these are not validated by the DocBook
document models. The conventions are, however, reflected in a template
included in this package.</p><p>
Any resulting violations to the formatting conventions can usually be ascribed to the stylesheets and, when repaired, the authored content usually does not need to change (barring any need to distinguish in the XML an ambiguity that is then being distinguished in the stylesheets).</p><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="d0e724"></a>3.1
DocBook vocabulary</h3></div></div></div><p> This environment and methodology is based on using the
<code class="sgmltag-element"><article></code> document type of the DocBook 4.4
[<a href="#docbook" title="[DocBook]"><b><span class="abbrev">DocBook</span></b></a>] vocabulary for authoring the content in XML
markup. These explanatory documents do not attempt to teach the DocBook
vocabulary, as there are many online and printed references and manuals
on the use of DocBook.</p><p>
Note that there is a layer of additional constraints imposed on top of the DocBook metadata constructs in order to appropriately identify the constituent metadata components of the OASIS requirements for specifications. No validation constraints for this additional metadata layer are included in this environment, so it is the responsibility of the writer to visually confirm these needs have been satisfied in the rendered results. Missing components are typically the result of the writer not having correctly used the metadata indicators within the standard DocBook constructs.</p><p> The additional constraints are illustrated and documented in <a href="#proforma" title="3.3 Pro forma template">Section 3.3, “ Pro forma template”</a> and included with these materials.</p></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="augmentations"></a>3.2 DocBook augmentations for OASIS specifications</h3></div></div></div><p>These OASIS specification stylesheets recognize the following additional facilities or interpretations when using the DocBook vocabulary:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><code class="literal"><articleinfo><productname></code> (see <a href="#invokeparam" title="2.5 Stylesheet invocation parameters">Section 2.5, “Stylesheet invocation parameters”</a>)</p></li><li><p><code class="literal"><articleinfo><productnumber></code> (see <a href="#invokeparam" title="2.5 Stylesheet invocation parameters">Section 2.5, “Stylesheet invocation parameters”</a>)</p></li><li><p><code class="literal"><articleinfo><releaseinfo role="OASIS-specification-this"></code><span class="emphasis"><em><code class="literal">{uri}</code></em></span></p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>reserved role identifying a URI belonging under the "This Version" heading</p></li></ul></div></li><li><p><code class="literal"><articleinfo><releaseinfo role="OASIS-specification-previous"></code><span class="emphasis"><em><code class="literal">{uri}</code></em></span></p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>reserved role identifying a URI belonging under the "Previous Version" heading</p></li></ul></div></li><li><p><code class="literal"><articleinfo><releaseinfo role="OASIS-specification-latest"></code><span class="emphasis"><em><code class="literal">{uri}</code></em></span></p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>reserved role identifying a URI belonging under the "Latest Version" heading</p></li></ul></div></li><li><p>release information role suffix "<code class="literal">-draft</code>"</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>the "<span class="emphasis"><em><code class="literal">{uri}</code></em></span>" content is not interpreted as a URI but only simply as DocBook content</p></li></ul></div></li><li><p>release information role suffix "<code class="literal">-authoritative</code>"</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>the entry is suffixed with the string "(Authoritative)" as is required by OASIS conventions for one of the renditions</p></li></ul></div></li><li><p><code class="literal"><articleinfo><releaseinfo role="committee"></code><span class="emphasis"><em><code class="literal">{text}</code></em></span></p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>identifying the technical committee section</p></li></ul></div></li><li><p><code class="literal"><articleinfo><legalnotice role="related"></code><span class="emphasis"><em><code class="literal">{content}</code></em></span></p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>identifying the related work section</p></li></ul></div></li><li><p><code class="literal"><articleinfo><legalnotice role="namespaces"></code><span class="emphasis"><em><code class="literal">{content}</code></em></span></p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>identifying the namespaces section</p></li></ul></div></li><li><p><code class="literal"><articleinfo><legalnotice role="status"></code><span class="emphasis"><em><code class="literal">{content}</code></em></span></p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>identifying the status section</p></li></ul></div></li><li><p><code class="literal"><articleinfo><legalnotice role="notices"></code><span class="emphasis"><em><code class="literal">{content}</code></em></span></p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>identifying the notices section</p></li></ul></div></li><li><p><code class="literal"><phrase role="keyword"></code><span class="emphasis"><em><code class="literal">{text}</code></em></span></phrase></p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>uppercase the text assuming the text is in English</p></li></ul></div></li><li><p><code class="literal"><table role="font-size-XX"></code></p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>use a text font of XX for the content of cells in a table, as in <code class="literal"><table role="font-size-90%"></code>:</p><div class="table"><a name="d0e895"></a><p class="title"><i>Table 1.

Stylesheet association</h3></div></div></div><p>
Not included in the final published XML source of OASIS specifications are the stylesheet association [<a href="#xml-assoc" title="[xml-assoc]"><b><span class="abbrev">xml-assoc</span></b></a>] processing instructions that are very handy conveniences to use during the authoring process. This methodology mandates their removal from the final published documents, but encourages their use when writing in order to streamline the writer's review of the formatted content.</p><p>
Stylesheet association is not widely employed in the general XML community, typically due to (a) limited awareness by writers of their benefit; and (b) limited conforming support in web browsers.</p><p>
An XSLT stylesheet association processing instruction is structured with two pseudo attributes as follows, indicating the type of the stylesheet being engaged and the location of the stylesheet file producing the HTML rendition:</p><pre class="programlisting"><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="place-URL-here"?>

The benefits of having embedded a stylesheet association processing instruction at the top of one's XML document are realized by opening the XML document being written in a web browser that (a) is aware of the processing instruction; (b) has a conforming XML processor with which to process the stylesheet files; and (c) has a conforming XSLT processor with which to engage the stylesheet files. The act of opening the XML document in the browser engages the HTML stylesheet against the XML content producing the HTML rendition on the browser canvas. At any time during the writing process, merely refreshing the web browser canvas re-engages the stylesheet producing the rendition of the revised content. This removes the necessity to engage the standalone invocation of the stylesheet environment to produce a reviewable rendition.</p><p>
For example, this document was authored in an environment where the locally-installed offline version of the publishing environment is available in the local directory <code class="literal">../spec-0.6/</code>, thus allowing the following stylesheet association processing instruction placed at the top of the XML file before the document type declaration to render the document in an XSLT-aware web browser:</p><pre class="programlisting"><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="file:///c:/oasis/
spec-0.6/stylesheets/oasis-specification-html.xsl"?>
</pre><p>
When a document is being authored in an environment where a copy of this publishing environment is embedded with the document directories, the following stylesheet association processing instruction would point to the embedded copy of the stylesheet fragment:</p><pre class="programlisting"><span style="font-size:85%"><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="htmlruntime/spec-0.6/stylesheets/oasis-specification-html.xsl"?>
</span></pre><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>When embedding this stylesheet environment in a document's distribution environment, it is important to prune the stylesheet directories to retain only that which is required for HTML rendering. The only directories needed in the spec-0.6/docbook/xsl directory are: xsl/common, xsl/html and xsl/lib. All other directories should be removed.</p></div><p>
When a document is being authored in an environment where the remotely-installed online version of the publishing environment is to be used, the following stylesheet association processing instruction would work (modulo the latency aspects of accessing resources over the Internet):</p><pre class="programlisting"><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://docs.oasis-open.org/
templates/DocBook/spec-0.6/stylesheets/oasis-specification-html.xsl"?>
</pre><p>
Many people believe that stylesheet association is a transient property of an XML document and should not be included in any "official" normative XML content. This methodology, therefore, mandates that any such processing instruction that might be used by the author during the writing phase be removed from the final published XML instance.</p></div></div><div class="appendix" lang="en"><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="a.committee"></a>Appendix A Acknowledgments (Non-Normative)</h2><p>This specification environment was written with the generous and appreciated assistance of Paul Knight, Chet Ensign, Mary McRae, Will Norris and Jon Bosak.</p></div><div class="appendix" lang="en"><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="template"></a>Appendix B Sample specification template</h2><p>
This section describes the instance structure and metadata of the DocBook XML instance <a href="template/spectools-docbook-template-wd04.xml" target="_top">template/spectools-docbook-template-wd04.xml</a>, a template geared for use with the specification stylesheets. The summarized markup copied from the instance is split into successive <code class="sgmltag-element">programlisting</code> fragments interspersed with a narrative regarding how to use the markup in the fragment. Braces "<code class="literal">{}</code>" are used to indicate replaceable information and the braces should not be in the final document. There is no obligation to use the techniques used below, though what is below is successfully producing the result you are reading.</p><p> For the purposes of example in the code below, the locally-installed
copy of the OASIS publishing environment is in the directory
<code class="literal">c:/oasis/spec-0.6/</code>.</p><p>
The XML Declaration uses <code class="literal">ISO-8859-1</code> instead of <code class="literal">UTF-8</code> as the content is being typed and remembering the two-byte codes of <code class="literal">UTF-8</code> is sometimes awkward. Alternatively, using <code class="literal">US-ASCII</code> limits the typing entirely to 7-bit ASCII characters, requiring accented and other high-bit characters to be entered with entities.</p><pre class="programlisting"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

The following is an editing convenience keeping in an XML comment the PUBLIC and SYSTEM identifiers for the document type declaration for each of the online publishing environment, the embedded publishing environment and the local publishing environment. Note how the actual identifiers in this snippet are for the local publishing environment while in the instance you will find the online publishing environment set being used in the document type declaration. When switching back and forth it is a convenience to have a few lines handy for copy/paste, and these are provided at the top of this file (note the URIs for the embedded environment need to be adjusted according to where the directory is located; this snippet is appropriate for this specification document but not for the template location):</p><pre class="programlisting"><span style="font-size:70%"><!--

In the above the XML Stylesheet Association [<a href="#xml-assoc" title="[xml-assoc]"><b><span class="abbrev">xml-assoc</span></b></a>] processing instruction is used to render the XML as HTML for the reader. This is also useful during the authoring process as a convenience for reviewing the rendered version of the authored XML markup when the XML document is open in a conforming browser supporting the association of XSLT stylesheets. After saving any edits to the XML document it is only necessary to refresh the browser to view the rendered results, without requiring any intervening XSLT process.</p><p>

There is no obligation to automate the publishing process by choreographing the invocation of validation and production processes, however this methodology offers example orchestrations of these. Note that but for not having a core Ant [<a href="#ant" title="[ant]"><b><span class="abbrev">ant</span></b></a>] task for the invocation of an XSL-FO processor, these guidelines would include such an example using that cross-platform Java-based build tool. It that absence, therefore, this section describes both a Windows command prompt and a Linux shell prompt that you may wish to configure for your own use.</p><p>
The sample choreography invokes three separate processes in turn to produce the results. These processes are made available by Windows batch files and Linux shell scripts that are not included.</p><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="d0e1228"></a>C.1

Sample invocations</h3></div></div></div><p>The stylesheets have been tested with Saxon for XSLT and Antenna House, Ibex and RenderX for XSL-FO.</p><p>
While any conforming XML, XSLT and XSL-FO engine can be used in a given environment, the following Java-based applications and their respective invocations are suitable. There is no obligation, however, to use these as any conforming implementations of validation, transformation and pagination can be used. Note these guidelines leave it up to the reader to download the required support and to appropriately set the required CLASSPATH environments for the following invocations to work.</p><p>
To validate that an XML instance conforms to the constraints of a formal DTD expression, xjparse [<a href="#xjparse" title="[xjparse]"><b><span class="abbrev">xjparse</span></b></a>] can be used to satisfy the <code class="literal">xmldtd</code> script as follows:</p><pre class="programlisting">java -jar xjparse.jar -v %1
</pre><p>
To transform and XML instance using and XSLT expression, Saxon [<a href="#saxon" title="[Saxon]"><b><span class="abbrev">Saxon</span></b></a>] can be used to satisfy the <code class="literal">xslt</code> script as follows:</p><pre class="programlisting">java -jar saxon.jar -o %3 %1 %2
</pre><p>
To transform an XSL-FO instance into a PDF file, FOP [<a href="#fop" title="[FOP]"><b><span class="abbrev">FOP</span></b></a>] can be used to satisfy the <code class="literal">xslfo-pdf</code> script as follows (though note that there may be some conformance challenges with FOP that might present some problems):</p><pre class="programlisting">java org.apache.fop.apps.Fop -fo %1 -pdf %2
</pre><p>To transform an XML instance into PDF in a single step, there is the <code class="literal">stylesheets/xslfo-xml-pdf.bat</code> example invocation file in the package. This invocation takes three arguments (in order): the XML input instance, "<code class="literal">us</code>" or "<code class="literal">a4</code>" (no quotes) to indicate the page size, and the name of the PDF output file. This requires the <code class="literal">saxon.jar</code> XSLT 1.0 executable[<a href="#saxon" title="[Saxon]"><b><span class="abbrev">Saxon</span></b></a>] and the Ibex Signature Edition created for stylesheets from Crane Softwrights[<a href="#ibex-ss" title="[Ibex Signature Edition]"><b><span class="abbrev">Ibex Signature Edition</span></b></a>] (renamed as <code class="literal">ibex-crane-ss.jar</code>). The digital signature manifest <code class="literal">oasis-specification-fo-manifest.xml</code> is tied to the stylesheets as published, thus the processor will not work with these stylesheets if they are modified in any way. The support file <code class="literal">ibexconfig.xml</code> is used to configure font information.</p></div></div></div><table style="font-size:80%" width="100%"><tr><td>oasis-specification-0.6-wd04<br>Non-standards Track Work Product</td><td style="text-align:center"><br>Copyright © OASIS 2012.
