[wsia] OASIS-W3C relationships for WSIA

[Charles F Wiecha <wiecha@us.ibm.com>]

Folks -- here's my draft response to Karl around potential liaison
relationships between WSIA and W3C...please post any comments or
suggestions for additions. I need to get back to him later on today.

Thanks, Charlie
----------------------------------------------

Karl -- in addition to the Web Services Architecture WG, it would be useful
for WSIA to have relationships with the following W3C working groups and
activities:. (1) XFORMS, (2) on-going work around XLINK or other approaches
to separating linking from documents, and XPOINTER,  (3) XPATH, and (5)
multimodal interaction.

Our work will draw more broadly from other working groups, such as Schema,
SOAP, DOM, HTML and so on, but we can probably track those groups without
the need for a more formal liaison relationship.

Subject: [chairs] relations with W3C


Chairs:

The managements of OASIS and of W3C have been in conversation the last
couple of months about how the two organizations could better be working
together. As part of our discussions W3C has asked for specific problems
or concerns that should be addressed.

In preparation for our next meeting at the end of next week I would like
to hear from any of the OASIS TCs that now have or could have a liaison
relationship with a W3C working group or activity, or whose technical
work in some way overlaps or relates to their work.

Please let me know what specific issues your TC may have including but
not limited to obstacles to working together, divergent goals, IP
issues, scheduling issues, what groups you need to work with, etc.
