OASIS News 10 February 2006 Welcome to OASIS News, a weekly update of announcements, accomplishments, and activities for the international standards consortium. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Quinn to Keynote at Upcoming Symposium The former CIO of the U.S. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Peter Quinn, will provide the keynote address at the upcoming OASIS Symposium, 9-12 May in San Francisco. Quinn's presentation, "On the Road to Open," will discuss how technology enterprises are often constructed using proprietary solutions which result in un-navigable chasms of information and siloed operations. He will explain how open standards can be used to insure access to all and a sustainable cost structure. The keynote will detail one example of the journey to institutionalize open standards and the cultural, political, and commercial impediments encountered. http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2006/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Review Begins for OASIS Artifact Standard Identification Scheme OASIS members and the public are asked to review the OASIS Artifact Standard Identification Scheme for Metadata.

Comments must be received by 1 March. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200602/msg00007.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Revised OASIS Datasheets Feature TCs The Consortium has updated its datasheets on "OASIS Committees" and "OASIS Security Committees," which are both available online.
