To be sure we cite the latest info--and direct media and prospects appropriately--OASIS asks you to let us know about your ebXML implementation activities. If your organization: a) has implemented or is in the process of implementing ebXML for internal use; b) currently offers ebXML products or services; or c) plans to offer ebXML products or services within the next three to six months, please send email to carol.geyer@oasis-open.org. Also, let Carol know if you would be open to speaking with members of the media. ------------------- THE XML COVER PAGES ------------------- English-speaking Internet users are sometimes annoyed when search engines provide links to "foreign" language documents, but this experience should serve as a reminder that all written text is "in" some language. Computers must be given explicit information about language and script for every piece of text in order to process the text correctly. Within the digital library community and in standards committees, language experts are busy trying to create taxonomies for language and writing systems to support language-sensitive data processing. Robin Cover has created a new resource for the XML Cover Pages web site (xml.coverpages.org) which documents this standardization activity. Readers are urged to review the document "Language Identifiers in the Markup Context" (http://xml.coverpages.org/languageIdentifiers.html) and to support standards work in this area. ------- XML.org ------- Call For Participation-XML Newsletter XML.org will be premiering a comprehensive e-publication covering a variety of topics related to all things XML. The newsletter is being "managed" by veteran journalist, XML columnist, and author Michael Floyd. XML.org is looking for participants in two key areas: *XML.org Newsletter Advisory Committee Members *XML.org Newsletter Contributing Writers Please see: www.xml.org/xml/newsletter_call4participation.shtml for complete details. --------------- MEMBER BENEFITS --------------- Start an OASIS TC The OASIS technical agenda is driven by members. Any group of three or more members can form a TC to standardize virtually anything related to the interoperability of structured information systems. The first step is to create a discussion list. This gives you 90 days to explore your idea with other OASIS members, gauge the level of interest and outline work. If you have an idea for a TC--even if it's not a fully-formed plan--contact karl.best@oasis-open.org for info on how to proceed. See www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.shtml for more details. ----------------- NEW OASIS MEMBERS ----------------- OASIS is proud to announce that epicentric, Inc, www.epicentric.com/, and eXcelon Corporation, www.exceloncorp.com/, recently joined the Consortium as Sponsor members.
