The new committee will define an XML-based specification to enable the unambiguous representation of units of measure. This work has been proposed by representatives of Boeing, Lockheed Martin, NIST, and others. Simon Frechette of NIST serves as the TC convener.

The demo showcased SPML's ability to allow companies to manage the provisioning and allocation of identity information and system resources within and between organizations. The OASIS InterOp was well received by users from large and mid-size companies and by members of the media, including security solutions analysts. Special thanks to Jeff Bohren of BMC Software and Gavenraj Sodhi of CA for their efforts in organizing the event.
