Status of ISO 21812-1 (PDF Metadata)

Review of CD (Comittee draft)



XJDF next steps

Errata editing and release process

  • keep to a minimum
  • only if it affects interoperability

Do we need errata releases such as 2.0.1 with updated schema and/or bug fixes only?

  • Ideally we should not change the document
  • Add FDF based on original PDF to the errata page
  • No 2.0.1 version unless we find something that is very broken
  • Add color coding definitions to errata and always use cross-out font for removed text,
  • Errata are proposed by the technicl workgroup and reviewed by the TSC prior to publication.

Do we need a registry of new NMTOKENS and return codes between versions?

  • We should have an NMTOKEN registry individually for 1.6/2.0 in the specification area of confluence
  • Add a description how to use JIRA to extend NMTOKENs
  • Extensions are logged against the next spec version or ICS  but added to the registry


XJDF 2.1 / JDF 1.7 Roadmap

  • Time scale

1.7/2.1 Update at drupa

Focus Improvements to XJDF

Using (X)JDF in the cloud

  • Rest Interface (long debates on usefulness)

Work structure 

Retain the Technical Workgroup, and discuss all specification and ICS related topics there.

Short lifetime focus groups in the off weeks:

  • PrintTalk
  • Maybe cloud
  • others?

Chairman election: Stefan Meissner elected.

  • do we keep 2 separate projects for JDF and XJDF respectively?

XJDF and JDF get merged as JDF

Versons: 1.7, 2.0

  • XJDF ISO Path

Should XJDF become an ISO Standard?

Advantages of ISO: It is the iso seal of approval.

Currently we are still too dynamic and the iso process would slow us down significantly.

Which version? If any, then post 2.1.

Discussion of Legal / copyright issues

We definitely need the ability to distribute a specification free of charge to members and non-members of CIP4.
