On 11 December 2009, the OAXAL TC approved the OAXAL v1.0 Reference Model as an official OASIS Committee Specification.
OAXAL represents a method to exploit technical documentation assets by extending the usefulness of core XML-related standards in a comprehensive, open architecture. OAXAL defines a complete, automated package from authoring through translation, providing authors with a systematic way to identify, store, and reuse existing sentences. Since such sentences are likely to have been previously translated, OAXAL delivers a means to dramatically increase translation matches.
For more information, see the TC Charter and FAQ.
No subcommittees have been formed for this TC.
