Hi Ian,

I was wondering
whether you were still interested in joining OASIS as an Associate to
participate in the Forest Industries Technical Committee.  Can you please
let me know?  Thank you kindly.

Regards,

Peter

I take it you are in the USA and are up rather early, or is
it working rather late?! Just to note that the number should have the
"0" dropped for international: +44 1236 456666.

 

Kind Regards

Ian

I made a mistake…that should have read “I will
call +44 01236 456666 at 3pm BST (10am EDT).”

We have been involved with BSW, Tilhill and
the Forestry Commission in developing e-business solutions with the eFIDS
standard and have developed a stand-alone module for use with the eFIDS
standard. Consequently we would be very interested in your proposals. 

 

However we would like to know a little more on what would
actually be involved, and in particular the costs.

 

The current standard is very difficult to work with and
causes confusion. It is overly complicated and I am sure the industry would
welcome anything to help!

 

Kind Regards

Ian

Dear
Mr. Logan,

 

I am
writing you to invite your organization to take a leadership role in an
exciting and important new initiative pertaining to Forest Industry information
standards.  The attached document provides an overview of this new
project.

 

OASIS
(Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) is a
not-for-profit, international consortium that drives the development,
convergence, and adoption of e-business standards. Members themselves set the
OASIS technical agenda, using a lightweight, open process expressly designed to
promote industry consensus and unite disparate efforts. The consortium produces
open standards for Web services, security, e-business, and standardization
efforts in the public sector and for application-specific markets. Founded in
1993, OASIS has more than 5,000 participants representing over 600
organizations and individual members in 100 countries. (http://www.oasis-open.org)

 

A new
OASIS Forestry Industries Technical Committee is forming to:

 

§      
Develop and maintain the specification for e-Forestry Industry
Data Standards (eFIDS) and GIS Data Transfer Standard (GIS DTS)

§      
Improve or extend eFIDs and GIS DTS, based both on evolving
Forest Industry needs, and on opportunities to more robustly use and leverage
other open standards for e-commerce

§      
Define the meta data to be used by eFIDs and GIS DTS

§      
Develop code lists for common use in eFIDs and GIS DTS

§      
Develop implementation practices and guidance for eFIDs and GIS
DTS

§      
Engage with related standardization activities within OASIS and
in external forums regarding the Forestry Industry

 

Please
let me know if you are interested or have any questions.  Thank you for
taking the time to read this message and for your support of global information
standards.

 

Sincerely,

 

Peter Roden

OASIS Director of Technology
