My assignment Create or extend a standard that will allow us to exchange Bibles in the process of translation that handles • multiple back translations (different languages), • translator and consultant notes, and • status of translation.
OXES based on OSIS OXES (Open XML for Editing Scripture) was developed to add requested features. OSIS focuses on the finished translation.
