(PR) 15-day Public Review for Integrated Collaboration Object Model (ICOM) for Interoperable Collaboration Services Version 1.0

The OASIS Integrated Collaboration Object Model for Interoperable  
Collaboration Services (ICOM) TC [1] members have produced an updated  
Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this specification for  
15-day public review:

Integrated Collaboration Object Model (ICOM) for Interoperable  
Collaboration Services Version 1.0

Committee Specification Draft 02 / Public Review Draft 02

16 November 2011

Specification Overview:

The Integrated Collaboration Object Model (ICOM) for Interoperable  
Collaboration Services standard defines a framework for integrating a broad  
range of domain models for collaboration activities in an integrated and  
interoperable collaboration environment. The framework is intended to enable  
seamless transitions across collaboration activities. For example,  
applications can aggregate conversation threads in email with other  
conversations on the same topic in instant message, over the phone or via  
real-time conferencing, by discussion threads in community forum, weblog or  
micro blog, and activity stream of participants from all channels. ICOM  
encompasses and improves on a range of models which are part of existing  
standards and technologies. The framework lowers the barrier for independent  
software vendors and open source communities to integrate collaboration  
services and to create collaboration tools that offer seamless user  
experience for diverse collaboration activities with minimal context  
switching.

TC Description:

The OASIS ICOM TC works to define a standard for integrated and interoperable  
enterprise collaboration. 

Public Review Period:

The public review starts 21 November 2011 and ends 06 December 2011. The  
specification was previously submitted for a 30-day public review [1]. This  
15-day review is limited in scope to changes made from the previous review.  
Changes are highlighted in the diff-marked PDF file included in the  
specification ZIP file package.

This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from  
potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the  
sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
