Scope
In March 2011 the Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA) was declared insolvent. As a result LISA's portfolio of standards has been authorized to be posted under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License that allows for reuse and creation of derivative works based on the LISA standards. Note that LISA has designated the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Localization Industry Standards (LIS) Industry Specification Group (ISG) as its successor organization for its standards portfolio. The present document defines the LISA ETSI (formerly LISA) Global Information Management Metrics eXchange Volume (GMX-V) Version 2.0 specification. The purpose of this vocabulary is to define the metrics that allow for the unambiguous calculation of the size in terms of word and character counts of a given electronic document (so called verifiable metrics)@ as well as providing a method of exchanging said counts via an XML document. In addition GMX/V provides a means of exchanging non-verifiable metrics (such as manual page and screen counts) using the same XML vocabulary. Verifiable metrics can be proven using a computer program based on the GMX/V specification. GMX-V is one of the tripartite planned Global Information Management standards which encompass volume (GMXV)@ complexity (GMX-C) and quality (GMX-Q). GMX/V Version 2.0 is backwards compatible with GMX/V Version 1.0 and introduces the following new features: 1) An overall character count which includes white space and punctuation character counts as well as the actual alpha numeric character count. 2) Word count factors for electronic documents encoded with Chinese@ Japanese@ Korean and Thai scripts.
