Subject: OASIS News: 18 June 2007
OASIS News 18 June 2007 Welcome to OASIS News, a bi-weekly update of announcements, accomplishments, and activities for the international open standards consortium. In this issue: * OASIS announces results of Board and TAB elections * WS-ReliableMessaging becomes an OASIS Standard * Voting begins on WS-SecurityPolicy 1.2 * Search Web Services TC forms * OASIS seeks presentations for Open Standards Forum in London * Public review begins for Web Services Transaction 1.1 Errata * TC forms OASIS DITA Semiconductor Subcommittee * TCs host six webinars on security standards * Other TC news * Upcoming deadlines * Upcoming events ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS announces results of Board and TAB elections Peter Brown of Pensive.eu, Mike DeNicola of Fujitsu, Eduardo Gutentag of Sun Microsystems, Claus von Riegen of SAP, and Michael Winters of IBM were chosen by members to serve on the OASIS Board of Directors. Martin Chapman of Oracle, Bill Cox, Hal Lockhart of BEA, and Madhav Vodnala of Fiorano Software were elected to the Technical Advisory Board. All will serve two-year terms which will begin 3 August 2007. OASIS expressed deepest appreciation to departing Board member, Chris Kurt of Microsoft, for his service and guidance since 2001, and to Pete Wenzel of Sun Microsystems for his long-term participation on the TAB. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200706/msg00013.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WS-ReliableMessaging becomes an OASIS Standard Members have approved version 1.1 of WS-ReliableMessaging as an OASIS Standard. WS-ReliableMessaging allows messages to be transferred reliably despite failures in software components, systems, or networks. The new standard enables a broad range of reliability features, including ordered delivery, duplicate elimination, and guaranteed receipt. Congratulations to TC co-chairs, Paul Fremantle of WSO2 and Sanjay Patil of SAP, and to all WS-RX TC members for this accomplishment. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200706/msg00011.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Voting begins on WS-SecurityPolicy 1.2 The Consortium has issued a Call for Vote to all member organizations to determine if WS-SecurityPolicy version 1.2 should be approved as an OASIS Standard. Produced by the OASIS Web Services Secure Exchange (WS-SX) TC, WS-SecurityPolicy defines a base set of assertions that describe how messages should be secured in the WS-Policy framework. Members who wish to discuss this ballot may do so through the member-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org mailing list. The ballot will remain open until 30 June. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200706/msg00010.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Search Web Services TC forms Members of OASIS have organized a new TC to develop a Web service interface specification covering search/retrieval, query, sorting, record retrieval, and index browsing. Proposers of the OASIS Search Web Services TC include representatives of Australia's Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST), US Library of Congress, University of Manchester, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and others. Convened by Ray Denenberg of the US Library of Congress, the TC's first meeting will be a teleconference on 18 July. New participants are welcome. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200706/msg00008.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS seeks presentations for Open Standards Forum in London A Call for Papers has been issued for the consortium's annual European Forum. This year's theme will be "Enabling Transitional Government Through Web Services and SOA." OASIS invites proposals for presentations and panel sessions that address standardisation for message security, reliable messaging, transaction, choreography and orchestration. Suggestions for case studies, particularly those involving the public sector, are also welcome. The Open Standards Forum will be held 29-30 October in London. The deadline to submit presentation abstracts is 13 July. http://events.oasis-open.org/home/forum/2007/callforpresentations ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Public review begins for Web Services Transaction 1.1 Errata The OASIS Web Services Transaction (WS-TX) TC has approved Web Services Transaction version 1.1 Errata as a Committee Draft and submitted it for public review. The specification defines protocols for coordinating the outcome of distributed application actions. The review ends 21 June. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200706/msg00005.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TC forms OASIS DITA Semiconductor Subcommittee Semiconductor companies are joining together within OASIS to collaborate on a DITA specialization for their industry. DITA is an OASIS Standard for document creation and management that builds content reuse into the authoring process. This specialization work will provide semiconductor companies with the opportunity to reduce their in-house development costs and increase customer reach. The subcommittee, chaired by Bob Beims of Freescale Semiconductor, welcomes new participation. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita-sidsc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TCs host six webinars on security standards Beginning 9 July, OASIS will present six free webinars, each covering a standard or specification related to security. Information on SAML, XACML, SPML, DSS, and EKMI will be provided by TC members. Attendees will learn about advances in access control, provisioning, authentication, encryption, biometrics, digital signatures, and more. Webinars will be held daily at 3:00PM GMT (8:00AM San Francisco, 11:00AM Boston, 4:00PM London). Register for one or all six. http://www.oasis-open.org/events/webinars/security-2007.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Other TC news CGM Open WebCGM TC approved WebCGM v2.0 Errata. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200706/msg00004.html Web Services Reliable Exchange (WS-RX) TC clarified its charter. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200706/msg00007.html Business-Centric Methodology (BCM) TC transitioned to "RF on Limited Terms" IPR mode. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200706/msg00006.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Upcoming deadlines 21 Jun: Web Services Transaction 1.1 Errata public review http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200706/msg00005.html 30 Jun: WS-SecurityPolicy 1.2 OASIS Standard ballot http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200706/msg00010.html 9 Jul: Document standards interoperability discussion list http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200704/msg00009.html 13 Jul: Abstract submissions for Open Standards Forum in London http://events.oasis-open.org/home/forum/2007/callforpresentations 16 Jul: Code List Representation 1.0 public review http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200705/msg00012.html 18 Jul: First meeting of Search Web Services TC http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/search-ws/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Upcoming events OASIS staff will represent the consortium at the following events.
