Subject: (ANN) AS4 Profile of ebMS 3.0 Version 1.0 approved and published as a Committee Specification
OASIS Members, We are pleased to announce the approval and publication of an OASIS Committee Specification (CS) by the members of the OASIS ebXML Messaging Services TC: AS4 Profile of ebMS 3.0 Version 1.0 Committee Specification 02 13 August 2011 Overview: While ebMS 3.0 represents a leap forward in reducing the complexity of Web Services B2B messaging, the specification still contains numerous options and comprehensive alternatives for addressing a variety of scenarios for exchanging data over a Web Services platform. The AS4 profile of the ebMS 3.0 specification has been developed in order to bring continuity to the principles and simplicity that made AS2 successful, while adding better compliance to Web Services standards, and features such as message pulling capability and a built-in Receipt mechanism. Using ebMS 3.0 as a base, a subset of functionality is defined along with implementation guidelines adopted based on the “just-enough” design principles and AS2 functional requirements to trim down ebMS 3.0 into a more simplified and AS2-like specification for Web Services B2B messaging. This document defines the AS4 profile as a combination of a conformance profile that concerns an implementation capability, and of a usage profile that concerns how to use this implementation. A couple of variants are defined for the AS4 conformance profile - the AS4 ebHandler profile and the AS4 Light Client profile - that reflect different endpoint capabilities.

The specification had been released for public review as required by the TC Process [2]. The vote to approve at Committee Specification (CS) level passed [3], and the approved CS <stage> is now available online in the OASIS Library as referenced above. Our congratulations to the TC on achieving this milestone. ========== Additional references: [1] OASIS ebXML Messaging Services TC http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ebxml-msg [2] Public reviews 15-day public review, 12 July 2011: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201107/msg00003.html 15-day public review, 23 October 2009: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200910/msg00014.html 30-day public review, 25 April 2009: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200904/msg00013.html [3] CS ballot http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ebxml-msg/ballot.php?id=2079 -- /chet ---------------- Chet Ensign Director of Standards Development and TC Administration OASIS: Advancing open standards for the information society http://www.oasis-open.org Primary: +1 973-378-3472 Mobile: +1 201-341-1393 Follow OASIS on: LinkedIn: http://linkd.in/OASISopen Twitter: http://twitter.com/OASISopen Facebook: http://facebook.com/oasis.open
