Subject: [tc-announce] OASIS TC Call for Participation: Content AssemblyMechanism
A new OASIS technical committee is being formed. The OASIS Content Assembly Mechanism (CAM) Technical Committee has been proposed by the following members of OASIS: David RR Webber, XML Global; Ram Kumar, MSI; Monica Martin, Drake-Certivo. The proposal for a new TC meets the requirements of the OASIS TC Process (see http://oasis-open.org/committees/process.shtml), and is appended to this message. The proposal, which includes a statement of purpose, list of deliverables, and proposed schedule, will constitute the TC's charter. The TC Process allows these items to be clarified (revised) by the TC members; such clarifications (revisions), as well as submissions of technology for consideration by the TC and the beginning of technical discussions, may occur no sooner than the TC's first meeting. To become a member of this new TC you must 1) be an employee of an OASIS member organization or an Individual member of OASIS; 2) notify the TC chair, David RR Webber (david.webber@xmlglobal.com) of your intent to participate at least 15 days prior to the first meeting; and 3) attend the first meeting on 30 December. You should also subscribe to the TC's mail list. Note that membership in OASIS TCs is by individual, and not by organization. You must be eligible for participation at the time you notify the chair. The private mail list cam@lists.oasis-open.org is for committee discussions. TC members as well as any other interested OASIS members should subscribe to the list by going to the mail list web page at http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl, or by sending a message to cam-request@lists.oasis-open.org with the word "subscribe" as the body of the message. (Note that subscribing to the mail list does not make you a member of the TC; to become a member you must contact the TC chair and attend the first meeting as described in the preceeding paragraph.) A public comment list will be available for the public to make comments on the work of this TC; a message may be sent to the TC via the address cam-comment@lists.oasis-open.org. The archives of both of these mail lists are visible to the public at http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ -Karl ================================================================= Karl F. Best Vice President, OASIS +1 978.667.5115 x206 karl.best@oasis-open.org http://www.oasis-open.org Proposal to form an OASIS TC. The name of the TC is Content Assembly Mechanism (CAM) TC. The purpose of this TC is to provide a specification of a generalized mechanism in XML whereby implementers can deliver the means to bring together business process context and the localized implementation business rules needed to take a raw industry standard schema instance and combine that with actual business information content, context and roles and produce a valid consistent XML document instance. OASIS is developing specifications for business process mechanisms, industry standard schemas, registry systems, and schema mechanisms. The CAM specification will allow these four components to be brought together in a consistent and standard way and publish assembly implementation instructions based on these OASIS specifications. This will facilitate the work of industry groups and allow development of software tools that work consistently with all these specifications. OASIS CAM project will contribute to the horizontal and e-business framework specifications of OASIS and will also provide interoperability for other XML and non-XML standards working together. The CAM TC will include derived business context mechanism support within the assembly process and thus harmonize with existing OASIS work where business context is used. List of deliverables with projected dates: First draft of Content Assembly Mechanism (CAM) - Feb 2003 Public review release of CAM specification - Apr 2003 Formally approved OASIS CAM v1.0 specification - Jul 2003 Language in which the TC will conduct business: English Date and time of the first meeting: Monday, December 30th, 2002, teleconference call. Meetings will be scheduled bi-weekly on a continuing basis from the first meeting, as teleconference calls. Occasional face-to-face meetings will also be arranged where applicable in conjunction with OASIS sponsored conference events. Eligible persons committed to the above meeting schedule: - David RR Webber, david.webber@xmlglobal.com, XML Global - Ram Kumar, rkumar@msi.com.au, MSI - Monica Martin, mmartin@certivo.net, Drake-Certivo TC chair is : David RR Webber, XML Global Technologies Inc. Phone meeting sponsors include: XML Global Technologies Inc. Face-to-face meeting sponsors: In conjunction with OASIS sponsored events.
