This SGML Open Technical Memorandum consists of a recommendation for an update to the CALS table model DTD model that will be submitted to the appropriate CALS authority with the expectation that it will be accepted as the next revision of the official CALS table model and that a Formal Public Identifier will be assigned to facilitate referencing of this model.
Note that the set of element and attribute declarations in the markup declaration module section of this document partially defines the CALS table model. However, the model is not well-defined without the accompanying natural language description of the semantics (meanings) of these various elements, attributes, and attribute values. The semantic writeup, in the section following that containing the markup declaration module, must be used in conjunction with the element and attribute declarations.
DocBook is a schema (available in several languages including RELAX NG, SGML and XML DTDs). It is particularly well suited to books and papers about computer hardware and software (though it is by no means limited to these applications).
This SGML Open Technical Resolution defines an Exchange subset of the full CALS table model DTD described in SGML Open Technical Memorandum TM 9502:1995. This Exchange subset has been chosen as being a useful subset of the complete CALS table model such that, if an application's tables are tagged according to this subset, there is a high probability that the table will be interoperable among the great majority of SGML Open vendor products. See also the SGML Open Technical Research Paper TRP 9501:1995 on Table Interoperability: Issues for the CALS table model.

HyTime (Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language) is a markup language that is an application of SGML. HyTime defines a set of hypertext-oriented element types that, in effect, supplement SGML and allow SGML document authors to build hypertext and multimedia presentations in a standardized way.
Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) is an application of NISO Z39.96-2024, which defines a set of XML elements and attributes for tagging journal articles and describes three article JATS. models is a continuation of the NLM Archiving and Interchange DTD work begun in 2002 by NCBI.
JSON-LD is a lightweight Linked Data format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is based on the already successful JSON format and provides a way to help JSON data interoperate at Web-scale. JSON-LD is an ideal data format for programming environments, REST Web services, and unstructured databases such as Apache CouchDB and MongoDB.
JSON is a useful data serialization and messaging format. This specification defines JSON-LD 1.1, a JSON-based format to serialize Linked Data. The syntax is designed to easily integrate into deployed systems that already use JSON, and provides a smooth upgrade path from JSON to JSON-LD. It is primarily intended to be a way to use Linked Data in Web-based programming environments, to build interoperable Web services, and to store Linked Data in JSON-based storage engines.
JSON-LD Framing allows developers to query by example and force a specific tree layout to a JSON-LD document.
This specification describes a superset of the features defined in JSON-LD Framing 1.0 [JSON-LD10-FRAMING] and, except where noted, the algorithms described in this specification are fully compatible with documents created using the previous community standard.
This specification defines a set of algorithms for programmatic transformations of JSON-LD documents. Restructuring data according to the defined transformations often dramatically simplifies its usage. Furthermore, this document proposes an Application Programming Interface (API) for developers implementing the specified algorithms.
Atom is an XML-based document format that describes lists of related information known as "feeds". Feeds are composed of a number of items, known as "entries", each with an extensible set of attached metadata. For example, each entry has a title.
The primary use case that Atom addresses is the syndication of Web content such as weblogs and news headlines to Web sites as well as directly to user agents.
The Text Encoding Initiative Consortium (TEI-C) is an international organization whose mission is to develop and maintain guidelines for the digital encoding of literary and linguistic texts. The Consortium publishes the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange: an international and interdisciplinary standard that is widely used by libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars to represent all kinds of textual material for online research and teaching.
The OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL) defines a generic XML interchange format for business documents that can be restricted or extended to meet the requirements of particular industries. Specifically, UBL provides the following:
The requirement that all external identifiers in XML documents must provide a system identifier has unquestionably been of tremendous short-term benefit to the XML community. It has allowed a whole generation of tools to be developed without the added complexity of explicit entity management.
However, the interoperability of XML documents has been impeded in several ways by the lack of entity management facilities:
The problems involved with sharing documents, or packages of documents, across multiple systems are large and complex. While there are many important issues involved and a complete solution is beyond the current scope, the OASIS membership agrees upon the enclosed set of conventions to address a useful subset of the complete problem. To address these issues, this OASIS Standard defines an entity catalog that maps both external identifiers and arbitrary URI references to URI references.
This OASIS Technical Memorandum is an XML expression of the Exchange subset of the full CALS table model DTD described in OASIS Technical Memorandum 9502:1995, CALS Table Model Document Type Definition. It is an XML version of OASIS Technical Resolution 9503:1995, Exchange Table Model Document Type Definition.
The Exchange subset has been chosen as being a useful subset of the complete CALS table model such that, if an application's tables are tagged according to this subset, there is a high probability that the table will be interoperable among the great majority of OASIS vendor products.
