Subject: OASIS News: 1 May 2006
OASIS News 1 May 2006 Welcome to OASIS News, a weekly update of announcements, accomplishments, and activities for the international standards consortium. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EDXL-DE Becomes Newest OASIS Standard Consortium members voted to ratify the Emergency Data Exchange Language Distribution Element (EDXL-DE), v1.0 as an OASIS Standard. EDXL-DE provides an integrated framework that enables information exchange to advance incident preparedness and response to emergency situations. Congratulations to members of the OASIS Emergency Management TC, and thanks to all who participated in the review and balloting process. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200605/msg00000.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS Announces User Assistance Discussion List A new mail list has been created to discuss the possibility of creating an OASIS TC, chartered to develop a cross-platform standard for application-integrated software user assistance documentation. This temporary discussion list will be used to determine whether there is sufficient interest to form a TC on this topic. OASIS Membership is not required for participation in this list, and all interested parties are encouraged to subscribe. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200604/msg00013.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS ebXML JC Publishes 'The Framework for eBusiness' White Paper The OASIS ebXML Joint Committee has published a new white paper, 'The Framework for eBusiness.' This paper provides an overview of the ebXML specifications and their relevance, including information on adoption and implementation. The document provides a useful background for those considering implementing ebXML technology and/or hybrid approaches. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/17817/ebxmljc-WhitePap er-wd-r02-en.pdf ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Danish Government Reaffirms SAML Recommendation In support of its view that the use of open standards in e-Government will encourage innovation, the Danish IT Architecture committee reaffirmed its recommendation of the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) OASIS Standard. SAML defines and maintains a standard, XML-based framework for creating and exchanging security information between online partners. Denmark standardized on SAML exactly a year ago. Other national governments to support SAML include Norway, Finland, Austria, and France, as well as some agencies of the US government. http://europa.eu.int/idabc/en/document/5538 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserve Guest Rooms for Symposium at Hyatt OASIS Symposium attendees who have not already done so are asked to book their hotel reservations at the Grand Hyatt San Francisco as soon as possible. While there are many hotels in the area, staying at the Hyatt not only provides extra convenience, it also supports the work of OASIS. The cost of plenary and TC meeting rooms is significantly reduced based on the amount of guest rooms reserved by our group. OASIS relies on that discount to keep registration fees affordable for all members. Please be sure to mention the OASIS group rate when making reservations. http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2006/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Events The following events are co-sponsored by OASIS: 9-12 May OASIS Symposium San Francisco, CA, USA http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2006/ 16-18 May BuilConn Palm Springs, CA, USA http://www.builconn.com/2006/na/default.asp 16-18 May GridWise Expo Palm Springs, CA, USA http://www.gridwiseexpo.com/2006/na/default.asp 16-18 May M2M Expo and Conference Palm Springs, CA, USA http://www.m2mexpo.com/2006/na/default.asp 9-14 June 3rd European Semantic Web Conference Budva, Montenegro http://www.eswc2006.org/ CABA Intelligent Buildings Leadership Forum 25-27 June Dallas, TX, USA http://www.caba.org/leadersforum/ 23-28 July XML Summer School University of Oxford, UK http://www.xmlsummerschool.com/ 24-28 July GeoWeb 2006 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada http://www.geoweb.org/
