© OASIS 2004 Why Open Standards

oasis-open.org © OASIS 2004 What is an Open Standard? zJust anything a single vendor declares is a standard? Or anything on which two or more vendors agree? yThese may be “specifications” or “de facto standards”, but not “open standards” from the OASIS point of view zOpen Standards are specifications developed and/or approved under a yPublished, consistent process yFair environment yTransparent, open operations yTransparent output

oasis-open.org © OASIS 2004 What is an Open Standard? An open standard is: zpublicly available in stable, persistent versions zdeveloped and approved under a published process zopen to public input: public comments, public archives, no NDAs zsubject to explicit, disclosed IPR terms zSee the US, EU, WTO governmental & treaty definitions of “standards” Anything else is proprietary: zThis is a policy distinction

oasis-open.org © OASIS 2004 Coordination of standards at OASIS zOASIS recognizes the many dependencies across standards organizations yPromote interoperability yReduce duplication zOASIS participates in and coordinates with many other standards and industry coordination efforts, e.g., yW3C and OASIS management meetings yISO/IEC/ITU/ECE coordination MoU yRosettaNet, OMA, AIAG, WS-I, GGF, etc. yCat A liaisons with TC154, various JTC1 SCs

oasis-open.org © OASIS 2004 Coordination of standards at OASIS zCompleted OASIS standards can be submitted to other SDOs yebXML submitted to ISO TC154 ySAML, XACML submitted to ITU-T SG17

© OASIS 2004 Who is OASIS?

oasis-open.org © OASIS 2004 Overview zOASIS is an international consortium dedicated to developing and promoting the adoption of e-business specifications zMember-elected Board of Directors and Technical Advisory Board; member-driven standards process zMembers of OASIS are providers, users and specialists of standards-based technologies and include organizations, individuals, industry groups, and government agencies. zInternational, not-for-profit, open, independent zSuccessful through industry-wide collaboration

oasis-open.org © OASIS 2004 OASIS Members Represent the Marketplace

oasis-open.org © OASIS 2004 International Representation

oasis-open.org © OASIS 2004 OASIS technical work zThe OASIS technical agenda is set by our members; bottom-up approach zTechnical committees formed by the proposal of our members zEach Technical Committee sets its own scope, schedule, and deliverables zMore than 60 Technical Committees in a variety of topic areas yE-business ySecurity yWeb services yPublic sector

oasis-open.org © OASIS 2004 OASIS standards process zSpecifications are created under an open, democratic, vendor-neutral process yAny interested parties may either participate or comment yNo one organization can dictate the specification yEnsures that specifications meet everyone’s needs, not just largest players’ zAll discussion open to public inspection and comment zBi-level approval process yTC approves Committee Draft yOASIS members approve OASIS Standard zResulting work is representative broad range of industry, not just any one vendor’s view

oasis-open.org © OASIS 2004 Progression/Approval of OASIS technical work 1.Any three or more OASIS members propose creation of a technical committee (TC) 2.Existing technical work submitted to TC; or TC starts work at the beginning. TC conducts and completes technical work; open and publicly viewable 3.TC votes to approve work as an OASIS Committee Draft 4.TC conducts public review, and three or more OASIS members must implement the specification 5.TC revises and re-approves the specification 6.TC votes to submit the Committee Draft to OASIS membership for consideration 7.OASIS membership reviews, approves the Committee Draft as an OASIS Standard

© OASIS 2004 The OASIS Conceptual Model

oasis-open.org © OASIS 2004 zA model to describe the technical activities of industry organizations yDescriptive, not Prescriptive zIdentify overlaps for the purpose of increasing collaboration zIdentify gaps for the purpose of starting new work Purpose of a Conceptual Model
