Business Application Standards RCXML: Remote Control XML ● Developing XML-based standards to support the control of devices accessed remotely oBIX: Open Building Information Exchange ● Enabling mechanical and electrical control systems in buildings to communicate with enterprise applications Emergency Management ● Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) ● Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) ● Distribution Element ● Hospital Availability Exchange ● Resource Messaging

oBIX Business View

12 Emergency Management ● The OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee is enabling information exchange to advance incident preparedness and response to emergency situations. ● The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) is a data interchange standard for alerting and event notification applications. ● ITU-T X.1303 Recommendation ● The Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) is a broad initiative to create an integrated framework for a wide range of emergency data exchange standards to support operations, logistics, planning and finance: ● EDXL Distribution Element (EDXL-DE) ● EDXL Hospital AVailability Exchange (EDXL-HAVE) ● EDXL Resource Message (EDXL-RM) recommendation.

Why OASIS was chosen by IUCN for Biodiversity Conservation Standardization

Now: $ of gathering & integrating information high…

$ of data and information low

Biodiversity Conservation Need for Standardization ● The Conservation Biodiversity standardization effort is needed to address the growing demand for easier integration of biodiversity data with corporate decision support systems. ● The work needs to address: ● Common vocabularies ● Common methods for information exchange

OASIS & IUCN – Biodiversity Member Section Plans ● Identified 4 major categories of member section constituents ● Conservation Community ● Scientific Community ● Private Sector ● Government & Inter-governmental Agencies ● 9 Orgs agreed to MS Steering Committee

Future Opportunities for OASIS

Opportunities Are Anywhere this Problem Statement Applies ● “The XYZ industry (or leading orgs) need to address the growing demand for easier integration of [scientific] data with corporate decision support systems.” ● How best to integrate data with future enterprise decision support systems? ● Internet software platforms (IBM, Oracle, SAP...) ● Using SOA [SOBA] and Web services ● Built with open standards [from OASIS] ● Easier & quicker if those groups apply these standards to their needs within OASIS

Sustainable Development, Human Rights & Corporate Social Responsibility ● "Amnesty International, while supporting voluntary initiatives, is pressing for UN global standards on business and human rights that will apply across borders to all companies. Such global standards will provide governments with clear, common guidelines on how to address corporate behaviour on human rights. It will help to create a level playing field, set some common expectations, and build trust among customers, shareholders, investors and the community." Irene Khan Secretary General of Amnesty International to the Opening Plenary of the UN Global Compact Leadership Summit 5 July 2007
