All,
I apologize for the late response. Going through the documents you referenced, Phil, was actually pretty interesting! I’ve been working with Ross on recommendations to ISO to update their CBEFF patron format, specifically the XML schema. A few of the recommendations are irrelevant to the XCBF schema. The remaining is a matter of taking advantage of XML Schema-provided types (instead of creating another replica of a certain data type) when converting the ASN.1 to XML Schema.
I’m curious why ISO didn’t build off of the XML Common Biometric Format when working on their CBEFF schemas; seems like it would have been a good place for them to start.

Thank you for the excellent idea! Kevin, can you comment on how Phil’s idea relates (or doesn’t) to the CBEFF schema update we’re working on?

Hi Michael,
You may wish to consider http://xml.coverpages.org/WSS-XCBF-Token.pdf as a useful input document to this work, which is based on this: http://xml.coverpages.org/xcbf.html. Old work now and its basis has now evolved into http://webstore.ansi.org/RecordDetail.aspx?sku=ANSI+X9.84-2010 (ANSI X9.84-2010, Biometric Information Management and Security), which we revised and this year.
This latest X9.84 standard relies on X9.73 2010 which defines SOAP extensions (see Annex B) to provide Web services for information objects such as those defined in X9.84 that may be represented in either binary or XML formats (http://webstore.ansi.org/RecordDetail.aspx?sku=ANSI+X9.73-2010).

Dear bws-discuss participants:
I hope everyone is well rested from the biometric conference season!
I’d like to a welcome message to those who recently the discussion list, and ask again for comments/thoughts/feedback/edits on the draft TC charter (attached).
I’d also like to call the group’s attention to a quote from the NAS’s report on “Biometric Recognition: Challenges and Opportunities” report (http://www.nap.edu/catalog/12720.html).
“Biometric systems should be designed to anticipate the development and adoption of new advances and standards, modularizing components that are likely to become obsolete, such as biometric sensors and matcher systems, so that they can be easily replaced.”
I would argue that ‘BIAS’ abstracts over the ‘matcher system’ and web services for biometric devices would cover the ‘biometric sensors’ part of this assertion. Perhaps a reference to this document belongs in the charter?
