Balance of interest ~= Broader representation [Updated]

So a particular phrase in the US Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities stood out: a voluntary consensus standards body needs to have a balance of interest. This balance of interest can only come out of broad representation: indeed, they are two sides of the same coin. Openness gives the potential for a balance of interest, but it does not guarantee it.

Mark Logic Lands $12.5M in Capital to Sustain High Rate of Growth

I’m pleased to report that Mark Logic has announced the closing of a $12.5M round of financing from Sequoia Capital and Tenaya Capital . While most VCs are surely doing some portfolio triage in response to the current economic environment, and while that means that duo-syllabic, business-model-free, web 2.0, social-something start-ups will not have easy access to funding, the flip side of the “too sick to save” part of triage is that some set of companies — presumably the promising ones — will indeed have access to capital on favorable terms. People seem to forget that triage means “to divide in three groups” and that while things may indeed be grim for the group III patients, that things can be pretty good for the group I ones.

My Favorite Wolfram Alpha Query

There’s been so much hype about the would-be, Google-killer, computational knowledge engine Wolfram Alpha , that I’ve been reluctant to blog about it both because I’m not eager to contribute to the hype tsunami but also because I’m so overwhelmed by the number of articles I’ve bookmarked that it would take hours to sort them out into a coherent post. To give you an idea of how much Stephen Wolfram thinks his work, the “quick introduction” video is 13 minutes and 23 seconds

Language semantics and operational meaning

W3C and other standards organizations are in the business of defining languages — conventions that organizations can choose to follow — and not in mandating operational behavior — telling organizations and participants in the network how they are supposed to behave. Organizations (implementors, operators, administrators, software developers) are free to choose which standards they adopt, and what their operational behavior will be. In some posts on the www-tag mailing list , I was trying to point out the risks in defining languages such that the "meaning" of the language depends on operational behavior.

Where everyone knows your name: ODF 1.1 formula support in Office SP2

Aslightly interesting standards aspect to the ODF 1.1 interoperability problems that MS Office SP2 is caught up in. To my mind either the problem is in the short term only and intrinsic to the ODF feature, or the problem does not lie with Microsoft for making their choice, nor with other implementers for making their choices, but with the ratty choice of markup used for this feature in ODF 1.n itself.
