XML.ORG Goes Live with First Phase of Open Registry & Repository for XML
Specifications

Paris, France; June 13, 2000--OASIS, the non-profit XML interoperability
consortium, today announced public access to the first phase of XML.ORG
RegRep (http://xml.org), an open registry and repository for XML
specifications. Designed to foster collaboration and enhance communication
within industries, XML.ORG RegRep provides the community with a resource for
accessing the fast-growing body of XML specifications being developed for
vertical industries and horizontal applications. Committed to open industry
standards, XML.ORG RegRep offers a vendor-neutral forum for developers and
standards bodies to publicly submit, publish and exchange XML
specifications. Operated as a non-commercial venture, XML.ORG RegRep is a
self-supporting resource created by and for the community at large.

"XML.ORG RegRep is something that has never **********existing**********
before. It is the only
independent clearinghouse for XML resources," explained Laura Walker,
executive director of OASIS. "XML.ORG RegRep is not intended to be the one
and only resource for XML schemas. Rather, it is designed to serve as a
model for an extensible network of XML registries and repositories
distributed across the Internet."

"XML.ORG RegRep belongs to the community," stated Jon Bosak (Sun
Microsystems), organizer of the working group that created XML. "OASIS
continues to seek input from users, other registry groups and standards
bodies on what people want from this open resource. This first phase is a
call for participation, an opportunity to experience XML.ORG RegRep's
potential and an invitation for the community to help determine the evolving
functionality of the registry."

Industry groups and other organizations that have developed XML
specifications can freely register their work at XML.ORG RegRep. The OASIS
"no strings attached" submission policy ensures that developers receive the
benefits and recognition they deserve while retaining all the rights to
their work and control over its use.

"What we have today is a world-class application, created by leaders in the
industry committed to following an open standards process. Developers,
groups and companies can feel confident submitting their schemas to XML.ORG
RegRep," said Norbert Mikula (DataChannel), chief technical officer of
OASIS.

>From its inception, XML.ORG RegRep has been a consensus-focused effort to
ensure interoperability with existing and emerging XML initiatives. XML.ORG
RegRep developers continue to work with the OASIS Registry & Repository
Technical Committee in its open process to define a specification for a
global network of repositories. This specification is intended to allow
interoperable registries to be created for use within industry
organizations, communities and corporations. XML.ORG RegRep will link to
standards-compliant repositories as they become available, as well as to
resources residing on its own site.

Built by Industry Leaders
The XML.ORG Regrep application was jointly developed by Documentum and Sun
Microsystems using software components from Documentum, iPlanet and Oracle.
The Documentum 4i eBusiness Edition powers the entire process, from the
submission of a schema to its availability for public access. The serving of
stored resources to users is achieved through the iPlanet Web Server from
Sun, integrated with the Oracle 8i(tm) e database. The whole implementation
is
deployed on Sun Microsystems servers.

XML.ORG RegRep was made possible by the donation of resources from
Documentum, Sun, Oracle, IBM and DataChannel and demonstrates their
commitment to providing the community with an open, independent resource for
publicly available XML specifications.

QUOTES FROM DOCUMENTUM AND SUN

"XML is the standard for exchanging e-business data across organizations and
industries," said Jeremy Burton, vice president of Internet Platform
marketing at Oracle.  "Built on the rock-solid Oracle8i foundation, XML.ORG
RegRep has been designed from the ground-up to build up an open,
standards-based community of schema developers.  It takes XML to the next
level and will make e-businesses even more interoperable."

Sponsors of XML.ORG include DataChannel, Documentum, Commerce One, GCA, IBM,
Mercator Software, SAP, SoftQuad and Sun Microsystems.
