7. Unicode Compliance Why do we need UNICODE All others use UNICODE
Statistics for Elsevier Batch 28
Total records 18918
316 different Unicode characters
total Unicode characters
Average ~ 9 chars/record

8. Unicode Compliance Why do we need UNICODE
Expressions (Formulas)
Letters
Bullets and other characters
How we process data without using UNICODE

9. Unicode Compliance How we implemented Unicode
Restrictions/Limitations (Fibre IRPS)
Different representation: TTF/XML
Extending the standard for “Logical Characters” (INIS-1 Guide to bibliographic description)

10. Unicode Compliance
Current “Logical Characters” (72 total)

11. Unicode Compliance The “new” set contains 2155 symbols
0080 C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement
0100 Latin Extended-A
0370 Greek and Coptic
2000 General Punctuation
20A0 Currency Symbols

12. Unicode Compliance Compatibility Up compatibility
“Old” records will be valid
Down compatibility – 2 levels
0 - Unicode
1 - TTF-style encoding + text

13. Unicode Compliance Original text TTF format
In the WKB regime, qQ≫ℏ, we obtain a simple expression for the fundamental quasinormal resonances: ω=qQ/r+−i2πTBH(n+1/2 ),...

In the WKB regime, qQ#Much Greater-Than##Planck Constant Over Two Pi#, we obtain a simple expression for the fundamental quasinormal resonances: #Greek Small Letter Omega#=qQ/r_+#Minus Sign#i2#Greek Small Letter Pi#T_B_H(n+1/2 ),...

14. Unicode Compliance Level 0 – Unicode
In the WKB regime, qQ≫ℏ, we obtain a simple expression for the fundamental quasinormal resonances: ω=qQ/r_+−i2πT_B_H(n+1/2 ),…
Level 1 - TTF-style encoding + text

15. Unicode Compliance Is using Unicode enough?
Glyphs not in Unicode
Expressions and Formulas
Future possible directions:
Unsing TeX and/or MathML

16. Future of WinFIBRE What is FIBRE? Definition Functionalities
Specialised text editor with checking capabilities
