Subject: [members] ebXML RIM Committee Specification for consideration as OASISStandard
OASIS members: The OASIS ebXML Registry TC has submitted OASIS/ebXML Registry Information Model (RIM) v2.0, which is an approved Committee Specification, for review and consideration for approval by OASIS members to become an OASIS Standard. In accordance with Section 2 of the OASIS Technical Process (see http://oasis-open.org/committees/process.shtml) OASIS members have one calender quarter to review this submission then 30 days for voting. I will therefore call for a vote on 1 April 2002; each OASIS member organization will have a single vote on the ballot. [Note that there are two ebXML Registry specifications being submitted to OASIS members: RIM and RS. While they are related to each other they will be balloted separately.] The OASIS TC has supplied the following required items for OASIS members to review: (a) a formal specification that is a valid member of its type The OASIS/ebXML Registry Information Model, v2.0, December 5, 2001 is found at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/regrep/documents/2.0/specs/ebrim.pd f (b) appropriate documentation for the specification The specification is self documenting; therefore no additional documentation is required. (c) a clear English-language summary of the specification The ebXML Registry provides a stable store where information submitted by a Submitting Organization is made persistent. Such information is used to facilitate ebXML Business to Business partnerships and transactions. Submitted content includes but is not limited to XML schema and documents, process descriptions, ebXML Core Components, context descriptions, UML models, information about organizations, and software components. Metadata, used to describe the stored content, is defined in the Registry Information Model. (The interface to the Registry is defined in a companion document, OASIS/ebXML Registry Services Specfication, V2.0.) The Registry Information Model provides a blueprint or high-level schema for the ebXML Registry. It defines the syntax and semantics of metadata that is stored in the registry, as well as the semantics of the relationships between objects that are registered. Key functionality defined in the specification include: * life-cycle management of stored objects; * the ability to define associations between objects (e.g., a given XML instance document uses a given XML DTD); * an extendable classification mechanism that also recognizes external (to the registry) classification schemes; * a security model that can support flexible security policies. (d) certification by at least three OASIS member organizations that they are successfully using the specification See the following mail messages: Information Technology Laboratory/National Institute of Standards and Technology (US) http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep/200112/msg00041.html Sterling Commerce http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep/200112/msg00034.html Sun Microsystems http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep/200111/msg00119.html XMLGlobal http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep/200112/msg00044.html (e) an account of or pointer to votes and comments received in any earlier attempts to standardize substantially the same specification, together with the originating TC's response to each comment This specification has not previously been submitted to OASIS membership, so there are no previous votes or comments to respond to. (f) a pointer to the publicly visible comments archive for the originating TC The archives of the TC mail list are available at http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep/ TC meeting minutes are available on the TC's web page at http://oasis-open.org/committees/regrep/ To date, no comments have been received through the public comment list for the Regitry TC; however, some comments have been received through the ebXML-dev mailing list which is archived at http://lists.ebxml.org/archives/ebxml-dev/ (g) a statement from the chair of the TC certifying that all members of the TC have been provided with a copy of the OASIS IPR policy. From Lisa Carnahan: "The TC chair certifies that all members have been provided with a copy of the OASIS IPR policy. The mail message found at http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep/200111/msg00087.html states that all TC members must be made aware of the OASIS IPR policy and directs them to the on-line version of the policy." </karl> ================================================================= Karl F.
