The PDF of the paper about RCT (Repaired Change-Tracking), "Tracked Changes: Navigating the Document-Format Anti-Pattern," provides a pattern-like model for the interoperability assurance for WYSIWYG document using standard document-file formats. The author's final submission version is available for download in the bibliographic entry at <http://nfoworks.org/notes/2015/06/n150601.htm>.
A key finding in this paper is that in the absence of a profiled envelope in which there is interoperability assurance when interchanging documents using a format such as ODF, there is no prospect for such interchange working properly with change-tracking in the files. Conditions on which such an envelope can be established and change-tracking accomplished in a dependable way are sketched. This is important to Corinthia with regard to profiling the interoperability among processors of standard formats and also determining how to profile the handling of those formats in an interoperable way, whether or not change-tracking (the original stimulus for the work) is every accomplished with Corinthia. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis E.

You can see the table of contents of the proceedings at <http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2723147> by selecting to see the "Table of Contents." I will make author's versions of my two papers available for direct download in a few days. You will notice from the abstracts (linked from table-of-contents) that ODF change-tracking received a great deal of attention. There has been conversation with Peter Kelly about how change tracking might work in Corinthia. These papers are about the underlying formats. Corinthia needs to be concerned, if at all, in terms of making tracked changes of changes made to the HTML presentation view. - Dennis
