"Microsoft's transparency in documenting the details of how Office has implemented ODF and Open XML helps all implementers improve interoperability with Office.  We look forward to continuing to work with them on improving the interoperability of our products, and we encourage other implementers to participate as well."

September 16 2009

Redmond, Washington

The most recent DII (Document Interoperability Initiative) Workshop was held on Microsoft's Redmond campus on Friday, September 18, 2009. The main focus of the workshop was a series of presentations by representatives from the Office product groups on the use of MCE (Markup Compatibility and Extensibility) and extension lists in Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010. In addition to these presentations from Microsoft program managers, the workshop included a roundtable discussion on various aspects of standards conformance, extensibility, and related topics.

The event took place on the day after the SC34 Plenary in nearby Bellevue, allowing SC34 technical experts to participate while they were in the Seattle area for that event. Attendees were present from Oracle, Fraunhofer FOKUS, 3Sharp, INNOVIMAX, Datawatch Corporation, NuovoDoc, StaffDotNet, and PSC.

A copy of the presentations that were presented at the Workshop is available here.
