Previous Public Review Announcement:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201105/msg00000.html
Abstract:
This specification defines an information model and XML vocabulary for the
interoperable and standard exchange of prices and product definitions in
transactive energy markets:
•       Price information
•       Bid information
•       Time for use or availability
•       Units and quantity to be traded
•       Characteristics of what is traded
TC Description:
The following is adapted from the EMIX PR02 announcement; I'm not sure where
the
Specification Overview fits in this form.

TC Description:

The OASIS Energy Market Information Exchange (eMIX) TC [1] was chartered to
define standards for exchanging energy characteristics, availability, and
schedules to support the free and effective exchange of information. Better
communication of actionable energy prices will help enable and expand
efficient
markets that satisfy the growing demand for lower-carbon, lower-energy
buildings, net zero-energy systems, and supply-demand integration that take
advantage of dynamic pricing. The TC has addressed requirements consolidated
by
NAESB and the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel's Priority Action Plan 03
Working Group.

Direct participants have included representatives of Southern California
Edison,
the ISO-RTO Council, California ISO, Midwest ISO, New York ISO, Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory, Enernex, UISOL, members of the UCAIug OpenADR
Task
Force, the OpenADR Alliance, and representatives of the National Institute of
Science and Technology, Schneider Electric, Siemens AG, EPRI, OATi, The Open
Geospatial Consortium, LonMark International, Lockheed Martin, EnerNOC,
Trane,
CPower, Microsoft, JPMorganChase, TIBCO, University of North Carolina, Alstom
Power, and experts in energy markets and in cross-domain integration and
information modeling.

This work is closely related to OASIS WS-Calendar 1.0 and OASIS Energy
Interoperation 1.0.

Specification Overview:

This specification is one of three related OASIS technical works in progress.
For a graphical view of the relationships, see
http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-sggrid/bin/view/SmartGrid/EMIXissuesPage on
the NIST Smart Grid collaborative site.

(a) Web Services Calendar 1.0 (WS-Calendar Technical Committee page is
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ws-calendar) is the common XML
vocabulary
for expressing schedules. EMIX uses this vocabulary to express energy
schedules
and prices; implementers and other standards are also using WS-Calendar.
WS-Calendar has just started its third Public Review.

(b) Energy Market Information Exchange 1.0 (EMIX Technical Committee page is
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/emix) is the TC that has approved this
public review. EMIX is the common XML vocabulary for expressing market
information including tenders, market transactions, prices and product
definitions for implementers and other standards. EMIX uses the WS-Calendar
vocabulary to express schedule information, and the EMIX vocabulary is used
by
Energy Interoperation and other standards and implementations.

(c) Energy Interoperation 1.0 (Energy Interoperation Technical Committee page
is
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/energyinterop) is the common XML
vocabulary
for expressing curtailment events, price communication, as well as Web
services
definitions for interactions using the information payloads. The Energy
Interoperation TC is planning its second Public Review in July 2011.

Please refer to line numbers in the PDF version of the specification when
providing comments.


Notification List: Will be sent as a spreadsheet by Sunday, June 26.
Notes:
NOTES TO TC ADMIN:
This public review depends on the processing and uploading of EMIX CSD03
(TCADMIN-556).

The TC would like the Public Review to end no earlier than July 14, but the
issuance should be as soon as possible - in other words, please extend the
length from 15 days as needed to end no earlier than July 14.

*************
Thank you for your request. We will prepare the Public Review Draft and begin the PR shortly after publication of the OASIS Energy Market Information Exchange 1.0 CSD03 in TCADMIN-556. You can follow the progress at:
