The new Member Section will oversee the work of the OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee, which produces information exchange standards that advance incident preparedness and response to emergency situations. The Member Section also invites suggestions for forming new Committees to address other issues related to emergency interoperability. Any OASIS member may participate in the EI initiative, and new members are welcome. http://www.oasis-emergency.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Public review begins for CAP 1.1 Errata The OASIS Emergency Management TC has approved the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) version 1.1 Errata as a Committee Draft and submitted it for public review. CAP provides a simple, general-purpose format for exchanging all-hazard emergency alerts and public warnings over any network. The review ends 28 Sept. http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200709/msg00001.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Australia adopts OASIS Standards to streamline financial reporting The Australian Government has launched the Standard Business Reporting (SBR) programme, a long-term initiative to save business time, money, and frustration. SBR will explore the integration of the WS-BPEL, WS-Security, and UDDI OASIS Standards, as well as other specifications for Web services and financial reporting. SBR will allow companies to use a single, secure log-on to submit financial reports to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Prudential Regulation Authority, Securities and Investments Commission, Taxation Office, and potentially, State Revenue Offices. Congratulations to the OASIS Tax XML Committee for its role in encouraging this ground-breaking programme. http://www.treasurer.gov.au/tsr/content/pressreleases/2007/084.asp ------------------------------------------------------------------- London Forum to feature Standards in Action Showcase The Open Standards Forum, which will be held near London 29-30 Oct, will offer a unique opportunity for vendors to promote their products and services to decision-makers from large, pan-European public sector organizations.
