 OASIS ebXML Registry Technical Committee Approves Revised Specs
>
> Consortium Membership to Vote on OASIS Standards
>
> Boston, MA, USA; x January 2002 -- The OASIS ebXML Registry Technical
> Committee announced its approval of the ebXML Registry Services
> Specification v2.0 and the ebXML Registry Information Model
> v2.0. Both are revisions of specifications originally developed under the
ebXML
> Initiative, jointly sponsored by OASIS and the United Nations
> Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT). The
> new versions of the specifications were advanced under the OASIS technical
> process and have been submitted to the OASIS membership at-large for
> consideration as OASIS Standards.
>
> ebXML Registry specifications provide a set of services that allow
> information to be shared between interested parties, enabling
> prospective trading partners to find one another and conduct business.
> The shared information, which may include company profiles as well as
> industry-specific messages, vocabularies and other data, is maintained
> as objects in a repository and managed by the ebXML Registry Services,
> defined in the new versions of the specifications.
>
> "The goal of our technical committee at OASIS has been to communicate
> the functionality of ebXML Registry Services to software
> developers and
> specify the interface for Registry clients," explained Kathryn
> Breininger of Boeing, chair of the OASIS ebXML Registry Technical
> Committee. "We wanted to provide a basis for future support of more
> complete ebXML Registry requirements."
>
> In addition to defining the interface to the ebXML Registry Services,
> the ebXML Registry Services Specification also identifies message
> definitions and XML schema. A separate document, the ebXML Registry
> Information Model, provides information on the types of metadata that
> are stored in the registry as well as the relationships among the
> various metadata classes.
>
> Karl Best, director of technical operations at OASIS, emphasized that
> the revised ebXML Registry specifications were designed to be
> compatible
> with other ebXML specifications. "ebXML is a modular suite of
> specifications that enables enterprises of any size and in any
> geographical location to conduct business over the Internet.
> In addition
> to the defining and registering business processes through an ebXML
> Registry, other ebXML specifications provide companies with a standard
> method to exchange business messages, conduct trading
> relationships, and
> communicate data in common terms."
>
> The two revised specifications have been approved by the
> members of the
> OASIS ebXML Registry Technical Committee, which include
> Boeing, Fujitsu,
> Intel, IONA, Logistics Management Institute, NIST, Sterling Commerce,
> Sun Microsystems Vitria Technologies, webMethods, and others. The
> specifications are now under review by the entire membership of OASIS;
> voting on OASIS Standards will be held in April 2002.
