Subject: FW: [election-services] Public Review of EML v6.0 - 15 day review

I suggest we pencil in a TC call to review any comments received from this review and carry out the necessary procedures for taking it to the next stage, ie Committee Specification.   Could you let me have your preference of either Wednesday 28th or Thursday 29th July for a call please.

Subject: [election-services] Public Review of EML v6.0 - 15 day review

 

To OASIS members, Public Announce Lists:

The OASIS Election and Voter Services TC has recently approved the following specification as a Committee Draft and approved the package for public review:

Election Markup Language (EML) Specification Version 6.0

 

This latest version of EML v6.0 incorpoarates a number of comments and suggestions for changes arising out of the first Public Review. They include correcting a number of inconsistencies in the XML schemas, accommodating new requirements for USA based elections and providing a data model to support and explain EML. 

 

The Election and Voter Services Technical Committee's objective is to standardize election and voter services information using XML. The committee is focused on delivering a reliable, accurate and trusted XML specification (Election Markup Language (EML)) for the structured interchange of data among hardware, software and service vendors who provide election systems and services. 

The public review starts today, 9 July 2010, and ends 24 July 2010. This specification was previously submitted for a 60-day public review on 23 October 2009 [1]; this 15-day review is limited in scope to changes made from the previous review. All changes are indicated in the accompanying change log.

This is an open invitation to comment. We strongly encourage feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of OASIS work.

More non-normative information about the specification and the technical committee may be found at the public home page of the TC at:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=election. Comments may be submitted to the TC by any person through the use of the OASIS TC Comment Facility which can be located via the button marked "Send A Comment" at the top of that page, or directly at:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/index.php?wg_abbrev=election.

Submitted comments (for this work as well as other works of that TC) are publicly archived and can be viewed at:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/election-comment/. All comments submitted to OASIS are subject to the OASIS Feedback License, which ensures that the feedback you provide carries the same obligations at least as the obligations of the TC members.

The specification document and related files are available here:
