OASIS Standard. ebXML Messaging defines the transport, routing and packaging of
e-business transactions. On 16 Sept, a Call for Vote on ebXML Messaging 3.0

Public review begins for Production Planning and Scheduling (PPS) 1.0

The OASIS PPS TC has approved version 1.0 of PPS as a Committee Draft and
submitted it for public review. Comprised of three parts, PPS identifies core
elements for composing XML documents for planning and scheduling in
manufacturing industries. It also specifies transaction messages and profiles
for each industrial context. The review ends 21 Oct.

TC forms OASIS DITA Help Subcommittee  	
 
New work has begun to develop a top-level design for authoring of Help systems
and user assistance content for implementation using DITA. An approved OASIS
Standard for document creation and management, DITA builds content reuse into
the authoring process. The OASIS DITA Help Subcommittee aims to make
recommendations on the integration of DITA-authored Help systems and software
applications using context-sensitivity. The group will also establish best
practice guidelines. The subcommittee, chaired by Anthony Self, welcomes new
participation. Those involved in tool development with expertise in Help
systems are especially encouraged to contribute to this effort.

London Forum will feature Election Markup Language (EML) InterOp

This year's Open Standards Forum, hosted by OASIS and the Butler Group, will
feature an EML interoperability demonstration by members of the OASIS Election
& Voter Services TC. Used in both public and private organisations, the EML
OASIS Standard extends to all aspects of the election process and has been
adopted by hardware, software,
and service providers. Attendees of the Open Standards Forum will participate
in a mock election, which will show how EML can be used in a multi-channel
e-voting ballot involving several suppliers.
