Subject: 15-day Public Review for Energy Market Information Exchange (EMIX) Version 1.0


The OASIS Energy Market Information Exchange (eMIX) TC [1] members
have produced an updated Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and
submitted this specification for 15-day public review:

Energy Market Information Exchange (EMIX) Version 1.0
Committee Specification Draft 04 / Public Review 04
08 September 2011

Specification Overview:
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

This specification is one of three related OASIS technical works in
progress. For a graphical view of the relationships, see
http://collaborate.nist.gov/twikisggrid/bin/view/SmartGridEMIXissuesPage
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 the WS-Calendar Committee Specification 1.0.

(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 third Public Review in September 2011.

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

TC Description:
The OASIS Energy Market Information Exchange (eMIX) TC 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.

Public Review Period:
The public review starts 4 October 2011 and ends 19 October 2011. The
specification was previously submitted for a 15-day public review on 8
July 2011 [2]. This 15-day review is limited in scope to changes made
from the previous review.

Changes are highlighted in the diff-marked PDF file [3]. A summary of
changes to the specification and to schemas is provided below [4].

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

connection with this public review of 'Energy Market Information
Exchange (EMIX) Version 1.0 Committee Specification Public Review
Draft 04', we call your attention to the OASIS IPR Policy [5]
applicable especially [6] to the work of this technical committee. All
members of the TC should be familiar with this document, which may
create obligations regarding the disclosure and availability of a
member's patent, copyright, trademark and license rights that read on
an approved OASIS specification. OASIS invites any persons who know of
any such claims to disclose these if they may be essential to the
implementation of the above specification, so that notice of them may
be posted to the notice page for this TC's work.
