NOTE FROM ITTF

The ballot on the transposition of a PAS into an international standard follows the JTC 1 PAS procedures

contained in the JTC 1 Directives Section 14.

In the PAS process, the JTC 1 secretariat will inform JTC 1 National Bodies and Liaison Organisations, and

those organisations authorised to be PAS submitters, of the initiation of the PAS ballot, the result of the ballot,

and the identity of the JTC 1 committee which will be responsible for any future work.

For ballot, JTC 1 National Bodies and the PAS submitter will receive both the PAS to be transposed and the

accompanying Explanatory Report. During the ballot JTC 1 members may propose changes to the PAS.

These can be resolved with the PAS Submitter after completion of the ballot.

The period for combined DIS voting shall be six months. In order to be accepted the DIS must be supported

by 75 % of the votes cast (abstention is not counted as a vote) and by two-thirds of the P-members voting of

JTC 1.

In the case of a failure of the ballot, JTC 1 will make known to the Submitter the reasons which have led to the

negative result. Based on this information, the Submitter may choose to re-submit the specification after

modification.

Once the Draft International Standard has been approved by JTC 1 as an IS, it will be published.

1. Introduction
1.1. Terminology

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT",

"RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in

[RFC2119].
Keywords:
UOML: short for "Unstructured Operation Markup Language".

Docbase: comes from "Database", means document base, is the container of mass documents; it is the root

level of the UOML document structure.

DoCbase Management System: the software which implements the function defined by UOML, short as

DCMS.
Docset: a set of documents, like directory in file system.

Layer: a page is composed of one or more layers, each layer has the same size as the page, and the visual

appearance of the page is added up by these layers.

Path: refers to the open or closed region collection, which consists of one or multiple line/curve segment(s),

its first letter should always be uppercase. In this document, we also use 'path' (all lowercase) to refer to

filename, location of Docbase or image file, it is different from 'Path'.

Graphics Object: refers to the objects that could make render engine to draw, it is used to describe the

appearance of a page. It includes: text, image, Path, etc.

Command Object: uses for modifying the current graphics state that holds current graphics control

parameters, such as text size, typeface and color.
Object Stream: a sequence of graphics objects and command objects.

Sub-object: in a tree structure, the upper level object is called parent object, and its' connected lower level

object is called sub-object. One parent object can connect multiple sub-objects, but one sub-object can only

have one parent object. Sub-object is created by INSERT instruction.
1.2. Overview

UOML is interface standard to process unstructured document; it plays the similar role as SQL (Structured

Query Language) to structured data. UOML is expressed with standard XML, featuring compatibility and

openness

UOML deals with layout-based document and its related information (such as metadata, rights, etc.) Layout-

based document is two dimensional, static paging information, i.e. information can be recorded on traditional

paper. The software which implements the UOML defined function, is called DCMS, applications can process

the document by sending UOML instructions to DCMS.

ISO/IEC DIS 14297

UOML first defines abstract document model, then operations to the model. Those operations include

read/write, edit, display/print, query, security control; it covers the operations which required by all different

kinds of application software to process documents. UOML is based on XML description, and is platform-

independent, application-independent, programming language-independent, and vendor neutral. This

standard will not restrict manufacturers to implement DCMS in their own specific way.

This specification is the 1 part of UOML, which defines the operations used for read/write, edit, and

display/print layout-based document.
This specification defines UOML objects and UOML instructions as following.
