OASIS News 11 April 2005 Welcome to OASIS News, a weekly update of announcements, accomplishments, and activities for the international standards consortium. --------------------------------------------------------------------- TC Submits DITA for OASIS Standard Vote The OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC has submitted four approved Committee Drafts to be considered collectively as an OASIS Standard. DITA provides an XML-based, end-to-end architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering readable information as discrete, typed topics. The DITA Committee Drafts have completed the 30-day public review period, and OASIS members now have until 15 April to familiarize themselves with the submission before balloting begins. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200504/msg00000.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS Adds Asia-Pacific Representative in Singapore Patrick Chan, Ph.D., has joined the staff of OASIS to assist in advancing adoption and participation in Consortium work across the Asia-Pacific area. Based in Singapore, he will focus on educational and business development activities. Patrick draws on over 15 years of academic and industry consulting experience, serving in roles as diverse as technical director, global architect, e-government specialist, business development and alliances director, and research scientist. He has worked for webMethods, TIBCO, Mentortech and Institute of System Science. http://www.oasis-open.org/who/staff.php#chan --------------------------------------------------------------------- Gartner Summit Will Feature WS-Security OASIS InterOp Fifteen organizations will come together for the first time to demonstrate interoperability of the WS-Security OASIS Standard at the Gartner Application Integration and Web Services Summit on 20 April in Los Angeles.

With the popularity of the concurrent Jazz Fest, space is becoming extremely tight. Those who have not already done so are strongly advised to make hotel reservations today. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200504/msg00001.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- XML Consortium Translates WS-Security into Japanese The WS-Security v1.0 OASIS Standard has been translated into Japanese by XML Consortium, a non-profit group which supports enlightenment and encouragement of application development and system integration related to XML, Web services, and SOA, as well as the standardization of XML vocabularies. Many thanks to this organization for enabling broader adoption of WS-Security in Japan. http://www.oasis-open.org/about/available_translations.php --------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS Offers Logo Gear for Members The Consortium has created a website for members who wish to order OASIS-branded merchandise. This third-party managed site offers a variety of items that display official logos for approved OASIS Standards, OASIS Member Sections, and the general OASIS membership. T-shirts, barbeque aprons, mouse pads, mugs, and more are available. (T-shirts are especially appropriate for promoting work at conferences and events like the OASIS Symposium.) Items are sold at cost, and OASIS does not derive revenue from any purchases made. http://www.cafepress.com/oasis_open --------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS DCML Adoption TC Forms Members are collaborating to promote the use of the Data Center Markup Language in the new OASIS DCML Adoption TC. All interested parties are welcome to join this effort to help organizations realize the promise of utility computing. The first TC meeting will be held at the OASIS Symposium and by teleconference on Wednesday, 27 April. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/dcml-adoption --------------------------------------------------------------------- Public Review of WebCGM 2.0 Ends 24 April All interested parties are encouraged to review the WebCGM v2.0 Committee Draft before the close of its 30-day public review on 24 April.
