ICE Authoring
Group Releases Draft Requirements for Industry Comment
ICE2 Moves Content
Syndication into Web Services Environment; Comments Due March 8,
2002
ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA
(February 20, 2002) - IDEAlliance and the ICE (Information and Content
Exchange) Authoring Group have announced that the Draft Requirements for
ICE2 Specification will be released to the public on February 21, 2002.
The release will take place during the XML and Publishing Hot Technology
Day of the Seybold Conference and Exposition in New York City.
According to Dr. Richard
Martin, Chairman of the ICE2 Specification Development Committee, "For the
next version of the ICE protocol, it is critical to consider integration
of Web Services' related standards for the ICE2 definition. Given that ICE
content syndication and the Web Services standards are squarely focused on
distributed computing space, the synergy between the two sets of standards
should be exploited to make ICE2 more complete and easier to
adopt."
The ICE Authoring Group has
initially identified 15 draft requirements that identify the lessons
learned during the past four years of ICE implementations, coupled with
continued innovations in the XML community, to review and refine ICE to
meet the growing demands of business. The goal is to express the ICE
content syndication standard as a Web Service. This first major revision
of the ICE Specification will focus on compatibility with the three major
Web Services Standards æ WSDL, SOAP and UDDI.
In addition to the exciting
new technical work being undertaken by the ICE Authoring Group, the shift
toward opening the technical work to industry involvement is another major
milestone for the ICE Authoring Group. According to David Steinhardt,
President and CEO of IDEAlliance, "ICE1 was developed by the activity
sponsors, who held a vested interest in solving the problem of automating
and managing content exchange. Today, four years later, the environment
has changed dramatically. We are opening the technical development and
seek input from the entire industry to ensure that ICE2 meets the
requirements of a broader community."
Development of the ICE2
specification is an open industry activity. Anyone interested in
participation can begin by reviewing the Draft Requirements Document at http://www.icestandard.org. Comments
relating to the ICE2 Specification Draft Requirements are due back to the
ICE-AG by March 8, 2002.
To learn more about
participation in the ICE development activity, e-mail Laird Popkin,
Chairman of the ICE Authoring Group, at laird@3path.com or Dr. Richard Martin,
Chairman of the ICE2 development effort, at rmartin@activedatax.com.
