Subject: OASIS News: 29 January 2007
OASIS News 29 January 2007 Welcome to OASIS News, a bi-weekly update of announcements, accomplishments, and activities for the international standards consortium. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Balloting Underway for OpenDocument v1.1 An OASIS Standard Call for Vote has been issued for the Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) v1.1. With added accessibility-related enhancements, OpenDocument v1.1 defines an XML schema for office documents, including text, spreadsheets, charts, and presentations. OpenDocument v1.0 was approved as an OASIS Standard in May 2005 and as an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 26300) in May 2006. Balloting for v1.1 closes 31 January 2007. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200701/msg00013.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Review eContracts v1.0 The OASIS LegalXML eContracts TC has approved eContracts v1.0 as a Committee Draft and submitted the package for public review. eContracts facilitates the maintenance of precedent or template contract documents and terms for use in creating new contracts with automated tools. Use cases covered include negotiated business contracts, ticket contracts, standard form business and consumer contracts, and click-through agreements. The review ends 27 March 2007. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200701/msg00016.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS WSS TC Completes Work The charter of the OASIS Web Services Security (WSS) TC has been successfully completed, and members have voted to close the Committee. Since its formation in July 2002, the TC standardized two versions (1.0 and 1.1) of WS-Security and produced security token profiles for Usernames, X.509 certificates, SAML (1.0, 1.1, and 2.0) assertions, REL licenses, and Kerberos tickets. They also standardized a profile for the use of WS-Security in conjunction with SOAP With Attachments (SWA). These OASIS Standards are in wide use today and provide the basis for end-to-end security in Web services. Follow-on work to define token acquisition, secure conversations, and security policy is occurring in the OASIS Web Services Secure Exchange (WS-SX) TC. Congratulations to OASIS WSS TC co-chairs, Kelvin Lawrence of IBM and Chris Kaler of Microsoft and to all the members of the Committee for their contributions and dedication to this effort. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wss ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS PLCS TC Transitions to Royalty Free on Limited Terms IPR Mode Members of the OASIS Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS) TC have voted to adopt the "RF on Limited Terms" IPR mode for their work. This mode requires all Obligated Parties to license their Essential Claims using Royalty Free licensing elements as described in the OASIS IPR Policy. PLCS seeks to provide an international standard for product data exchange (ISO 10303) to support complex engineered assets from concept to disposal. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/plcs/ http://www.oasis-open.org/who/intellectualproperty.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ongoing Public Reviews Ends 30 Jan: CAM v1.1 http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200611/msg00015.html Ends 10 Feb: WS-SecurityPolicy v1.2 http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200612/msg00007.html Ends 11 Feb: ebXML Registry Profile for OWL v1.5 http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200612/msg00008.html Ends 7 Mar: ebXML-IIC Deployment Profile Templates http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200701/msg00004.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Open Discussion Lists DITA - S1000D Interoperability http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200612/msg00004.html Test Assertion Guidelines (TAG) http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200611/msg00006.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS News is published in English, Japanese, Korean, and Russian.
