Can't seem to find any reliable source backing up the claims made in the article. The XML model for Office 2007 is OOXML, not Structured Data Interchange. No sources turn up in a Google search linking Microsoft or Office 2007 with SDI. In fact, structured data interchange is a generic scenario designed to be facilitated by RDF (think semantic web); and that is not a MS endeavour. The article has been orphanned and without edits for a long time. soum ^talk 17:25, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. As the nom states, structured data interchange is simply a phrase meaning the interchange of structured data. While one might use the phrase in association with transfer of OOXML documents (which are an example of structured data), that's about as far as the connection goes. Article is almost certainly unsourceable - I haven't found any sources, anyway. Jakew (talk) 22:49, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Delete. This isn't some mystical OOXML thing. The nom is correct in that the article is really only about that instance of the use of the subject in an environment. That said, I think a decent article could be written about the scenario itself, not just how it happens in OOXML, but the best thing to do at this point would probably be just to delete it and start over if someone wants to take the initiative.

• Delete I am not conversant in the technical details, but if I understand you folks correctly, reliable sources are not likely to be found for this narrow topic. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 23:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as the article has no sources and makes bizarre and unbelievable claims:
  • It's XML, but based on SGML? Aside from this being contradictory, nobody uses SGML in new systems anymore, including Microsoft.
  • Independent of operating system and hardware. Since when does any data format depend on these? WillOakland (talk) 10:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
