OASIS News 7 August 2006 Welcome to OASIS News, a weekly update of announcements, accomplishments, and activities for the international standards consortium. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS Staff Work to Restore Mail List Functionality OASIS IT staff continue to work on restoring full email functionality in the aftermath of last week's server crash. Committee and comment mail lists are now functioning. Full access to the mail list archives and functionality for other lists residing on the oasis-open.org, xml.org, coverpages.org, and ebxml.org domains will be restored as soon as possible. OASIS deeply regrets the impact of this situation on its members and their work. Updates on service restoration will be posted at the members homepage. http://www.oasis-open.org/members/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS Code List Representation TC Forms Members of OASIS announced plans to standardize the interchange of controlled vocabulary sets used by communities to express commonly- accepted concepts. The format developed by the TC will support actual codes (including alternative codes and composite multi-part codes) and related documentation and management information. The new OASIS Code List Representation TC will operate under the "RF on Limited Terms" mode of the OASIS IPR Policy, and its first meeting will take place on 28 August by teleconference. New members are welcome. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/codelist/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS DITA TC Forms Specialization Subcommittee A subcommittee for Learning and Training Content Specialization has been formed by the OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC.

The new subcommittee, chaired by John Hunt of IBM, will develop a general, top-level design for structured, intent-based authoring of learning content with good learning architecture, following DITA principles and best practices. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita-learningspec ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ongoing Public reviews 15-day Public Review of FWSI v2.0, ends 11 Aug. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200607/msg00007.html 15-day Public Review of UBL v2.0, ends 12 Aug. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200607/msg00010.html 60-day public review of WSRP v2.0, ends 13 Aug. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200606/msg00003.html 60-day public review of oBIX v1.0, ends 12 Sept. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200607/msg00003.html 60-day public review of XLIFF v1.2, ends 12 Sept. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200607/msg00004.html 60-day Public Review of OpenDocument v1.1, ends 25 Sept. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200607/msg00009.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS oBIX TC Approves IPR Transition Members of the OASIS Open Building Information Exchange (oBIX) TC have voted to adopt the "RF on Limited Terms" Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) mode for their work.
