OASIS members and other interested parties,
The OASIS Business Document Exchange (BDXR) TC members [1] have produced an updated Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this specification for 15-day public review:
Service Metadata Publishing (SMP) Version 1.0
Committee Specification Draft 02 / Public Review Draft 02
13 April 2016
Specification Overview:
This document describes a protocol for publishing service metadata within a 4-corner network. In a 4-corner network, entities are exchanging business documents through intermediary gateway services (sometimes called Access Points). To successfully send a business document in a 4-corner network, an entity must be able to discover critical metadata about the recipient (endpoint) of the business document, such as types of documents the endpoint is capable of receiving and methods of transport supported. The recipient makes this metadata available to other entities in the network through a Service Metadata Publisher service. This specification describes the request/response exchanges between a Service Metadata Publisher and a client wishing to discover endpoint information. A client can either be an end-user business application or a gateway/access point in the 4-corner network. It also defines the request processing that must happen at the client.
About the TC:
The OASIS BDXR TC advances an open standards framework to support public e-procurement and e-invoicing. The group defines specifications for a lightweight and federated messaging infrastructure that supports a 4-corner model for the secure and reliable exchange of electronic documents.
Wherever possible, the TC specifications are based on profiles of existing standards from OASIS and elsewhere. BDXR TC members also coordinate the submission of new requirements as use cases for expanded functionality.
All those involved in e-procurement and e-invoicing are invited to participate in the BDXR TC, including public and private sector agencies, enterprises, solution providers, consultants, and researchers. E-payment actors including financial institutions, associations and payment networks should also be represented in this work.
Public Review Period:
The public review starts 03 May 2016 at 00:00 UTC and ends 17 May 2016 at 11:59 UTC. The specification was previously submitted for public review. The specification was subsequently approved as Committee Specification 02 with Non-Material Changes. [2] Changes from Committee Specification 02 are highlighted in the red-lined DIFF file that accompanies this package. [3]
