We are looking forward to a very productive
face-to-face session next week at the
OASIS Symposium and with this event almost upon us, I thought
that I would outline a few major DCML events that we hope you will be available to support. I
am providing a high-level view of the DCML relevant sections however if you
would like to view the Symposium agenda in its entirety, please visit:

The Missing Link in
IT Service Management - Darrel Thomas
In this talk, the
speaker will discuss how DCML is intimately testing/validating the usage of
semantics and vocabularies in describing the interchange relationships between
the dimensions of IT Services management. As standards like the Web Ontology
Language (OWL) and the Resource Description Framework (RDF) provide the
flexibility and extensibility that the depth and breadth of IT Services
Management requires, they have been positioned by the DCML Member Section as the
best choice for handling data center complexity and "like" relationships between
disparate management system implementations in a heterogeneous environment. The
presenter will briefly discuss this complexity, as well as a short use case on
how the DCML plans to use OWL/RDF in conjunction with XML to formulate the
framework of the DCML specification.

organization's to have representatives with marketing or product management
experience participate in this important TC efforts. The session will be
