TC Submits OASIS WSDM 1.0 for Public Review

The OASIS Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) TC has approved the WSDM: Management Using Web Services (MUWS) 1.0 and WSDM:
Management Of Web Services (MOWS) 1.0 specifications for public review. WSDM: MUWS 1.0 is a framework that enables management
applications to be built using Web services, as well as allowing resources to be controlled by multiple managers through one set of
instrumentation. WSDM: MOWS 1.0 defines a manageability model for utilizing Web services as a resource, and sets rules for
describing and accessing that manageability through MUWS. The review will continue until 10 Jan, and comments are solicited from all
interested parties.

TC Approves UDDI as OASIS Committee Draft

The OASIS Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) TC has approved UDDI version 3 (release 3.0.2) as a Committee
Draft. This represents the second minor update to the UDDI specification, which serves as a "meta service" for locating Web services
by enabling robust queries against rich metadata. The public review of UDDI V3 was completed on 1 Dec, and the specification is
currently being prepared for balloting to become an OASIS Standard.
