AS4 Subcommittee Docs

[Timothy Bennett <timothy@drummondgroup.com>]

Please discuss and consider the following drafts for fulfilling the requirements of form the AS4 subcommittee on Wednesday TC call.



STATEMENT OF INTENT

The intent and purpose of the formation of the AS4 subcommittee within the OASIS ebXML Messaging Services v3.0 TC is the development of a Conformance Profile and any other supporting documentation deemed necessary of the ebMS v3.0 specification.  This profile, to be entitled "AS4: Secure B2B Document Exchange Using Web Services", will provide guidance for a standardized methodology for the secure and document-agnostic exchange of B2B payloads using Web services. By constraining the ebMS v3.0 specification and the underlying WS-I profiles for messaging packaging, transport, security, and non-repudiation, the proposed profile will focus on providing an entry-level on-ramp for Web services B2B messaging. The end goal of this profile development is to replicate and strategically extend the existing functional requirements currently satisfied by RFC4130 (AS2) by mapping those requirements onto the Web services platform.
