Abstract

The MOST Cooperation (media-oriented systems transport) is an industry group of automotive and supplier companies that specifies interfaces of multimedia components. Many members are competitors: they collaborate on standards while preserving their competitive advantages. Moreover, development processes differ for each member, but the MOST standard must be concise and consistent. We develop an XML based architecture to support individual workflows and the specification process as a whole
