New OASIS TC Charter and materials of interest

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi All,

I thought I would pass along this development: Integrated 
Collaboration Object Model Technical Committee Proposed Charter and 
References  http://xml.coverpages.org/ICOM-Proposed-Charter.html

It's Oracle, Nortel, DERI and DERI-associated groups, RF on Limited 
Terms, and shares to some degree our orientation toward an ecosystem 
view:

"This work will be carried out through continued refinement and 
extension of the following contributions [details] by the initial 
co-proposers:

     * Oracle Beehive Object Model (BOM) [1]
     * Oracle Beehive Release 1.4 Collaboration Service Interface 
(CSI) Java docs [2]
     * DERI Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities (SIOC) [3]
     * NEPOMUK Semantic Layered Architecture (SLA) [4]
     * Ecospace Reference Architecture: Basic Collaborative Services (BCS) [8]"

I've only scratched the surface, and I won't have time to delve 
further until later, but I think it may well be significant for our 
work.

Cheers,
Rex
