I've integrated those received into the following version of the draft. Please send me any additional comments you have. Documentum and Sun--please send your quotes ASAP. NOTE: We plan to distribute this release at our select press and analyst briefing sessions next week.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE DEADLINE. Thanks, Carol 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."
