OASIS News 21 May 2007 Welcome to OASIS News, a bi-weekly update of announcements, accomplishments, and activities for the international open standards consortium. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HEADLINES: * Elections for OASIS Board and TAB open * Members vote on CAM and WS-ReliableMessaging as OASIS Standards * Public review begins for Code List Representation * Members propose new Search Web Services TC * Three TCs close as IRP transition period ends * Registration continues for free ebXML Webinar Week * OASIS invites organizations to participate in Member Section Program * Upcoming deadlines ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Elections for OASIS Board and TAB open Primary Representatives from OASIS member organizations are asked to select five candidates to serve two-year terms on the consortium's Board of Directors. Nominees include Peter Brown of Pensive.eu, Mike DeNicola of Fujitsu, Rik Drummond of Drummond Group, Bob Freund of Hitachi, Eduardo Gutentag of Sun Microsystems, Jim Hughes of Microsoft, Claus von Riegen of SAP, and Michael Winters of IBM.

CAM provides an open XML-based system for using business rules to define, validate and compose specific business documents from generalized schema elements and structures. WS-ReliableMessaging describes a protocol that allows messages to be transferred reliably between nodes implementing this protocol in the presence of software component, system, or network failures. Members who wish to discuss either of these specifications may do so through member-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org. Ballots will remain open until Thursday, 31 May 2007. CAM: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200705/msg00009.html WS-ReliableMessaging: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200705/msg00008.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Members propose new Search Web Services TC A new OASIS TC to define search and retrieval Web services has been proposed. The group would work to develop a web service interface specification covering search/retrieval, query, sorting, record retrieval, and index browsing. Ray Denenberg of the US Library of Congress has agreed to serve as convener of this TC. A proposed charter is available for review, and members are invited to comment by 29 May. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200705/msg00006.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Public review begins for Code List Representation The OASIS Code List Representation TC has approved Code List Representation (Genericode) Version 1.0 as a Committee Draft and submitted the specification for public review. The specification defines an XML format for the interchange, documentation and management of controlled vocabularies or coded value enumerations in any processing context. The review ends 16 July. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200705/msg00012.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Three TCs close as IPR transition period ends The OASIS Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WSBPEL) TC, Web Services Composite Application Framework (WS-CAF) TC, and Digital Signature Services (DSS) TC have all concluded operations. The TCs, which were formed under the legacy OASIS Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy, did not achieve the consensus needed to transition to the current IPR Policy. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200705/msg00011.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Registration continues for free ebXML Webinar Week The OASIS ebXML Technical Committees will host a week of free webinars devoted to the ebXML OASIS Standards (ISO 15000). A different standard will be featured each day, Monday through Thursday, 4-7 June, at 3:00 PM GMT (8:00 AM San Francisco, 11:00 AM Boston, 4:00 PM London). Attendees will learn about the current state of the standards from the people who created them and who continue to advance this foundational work. http://www.oasis-open.org/events/webinars/ebxml-2007.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS invites organizations to participate in Member Section Program Member Sections maintain their own identities as distinct organizations while gaining access to OASIS infrastructure, resources, reputation, administrative support, and expertise. The program is designed to meet the needs of groups interested in creating open standards, as well as those seeking to articulate business requirements, promote adoption of existing standards, or advocate for interoperable solutions. http://www.oasis-open.org/who/ms-overview.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------- **MEMBERSHIP TIP #35** Start a new committee to advance adoption of an existing standard http://wiki.oasis-open.org/staff-stds-wiki/StartingCommittees ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Upcoming deadlines 31 May: Content Assembly Mechanism (CAM) 1.1 as OASIS Standard ballot http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ballot.php?id=1292 WS-ReliableMessaging 1.1 as OASIS Standard ballot http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ballot.php?id=1291 8 Jun: Emergency Data Exchange (EDXL-RM) 1.0 public review http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200704/msg00011.html 10 Jun: Election Markup Language (EML) 5.0 public review http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200704/msg00011.html 15 Jun: OASIS Board and TAB elections http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200705/msg00010.html 9 Jul: Document standards interoperability discussion list http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200704/msg00009.html 16 Jul: Code List Representation 1.0 public review http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200705/msg00012.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS News is published in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian.
