- China to consider the standardization
of electronic files
Xinhua, Nov. 26, 2006 - The Chinese government is to set up a committee to
consider the standardization of electronic files so they can adapt to
different software, according to the
Ministry of Information Industry (MII).
Electronic files created by different software are not inter-adaptable,
which hampers the communication and sharing of information. "With the fast
development of information technologies, electronic file information,
including design blueprints, geographical information, electronic
documents and archives information, has become increasingly important,"
said an official with the MII. However, the lack of a standard system
hindered the circulation of information, with many electronic files
confined to more than 10,000 formats. Occasionally different versions of
the same product were incompatible with each other. In most cases the
ruptured information flow was monopolized by very few big companies. He
said the research and development of electronic file technologies and
standardized systems had made it possible to advance the communication and
sharing of electronic file information.
