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

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.

sponsored conference events.
Eligible persons committed to the above meeting schedule:
- David RR Webber, david.webber@xmlglobal.com, XML Global
