One of the topics I'm behind writing on is the state of IPR concerns and standard setting in China in general, and the current status of UOF – China's "Uniform Office Document Format" entry in the document format sweepstakes – in particular. I recently spoke at two conferences in Beijing, and got back up to speed in this regard direct from the source.
While ODF and OOXML continue to generate news and heat, the progress of UOF has proceeded with much less fanfare and reportage. Now completed by a diverse group of private and public working group members, UOF ("Biao Wen Tong," in Chinese) has been adopted as a Chinese National Standard, and is intended to be a cornerstone of the "national e-government standardization system" now being constructed. As with OOXML and ODF, UOF describes word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and more. It also supports certain existing global standards, including the ISO 10646 character set. That said, its architecture diverges in meaningful ways from both ODF and OOXML.
