OASIS ebXML RegRep V4.0 approved as an OASIS Standard

OASIS members: 

We are pleased to announce that OASIS ebXML RegRep Version 4.0 has been  
approved by the membership as an OASIS Standard [1]. 

The call to vote was announced on 11 January 2012 [2] and closed 25  
January 2012. A minimum of 45 affirmative votes were needed in order to win  
approval. The finally vote tally was 61. 

OASIS ebXML RegRep V4.0 [3] defines the service interfaces, protocols and  
information model for an integrated registry and repository. The repository  
stores digital content while the registry stores metadata that describes the  
content in the repository. RegRep is an open specification for software that  
manages diverse content such as documents, images, services, devices, assets,  
schemas, WSDL, ontologies, records. Statements of Use for RegRep V4.0 were  
received from MIT's Lincoln Laboratory, Wellfleet Software and NOAA. More  
information on OASIS ebXML RegRep v4.0 and the TC generally can be found on  
the TCs web page at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/regrep/.  

TC Administration will now prepare and publish the final OASIS Standard  
and notify members when it is available. 

Our congratulations to the members of the TC and to the community of  
implementers, developers and users who have brought the work successfully to  
this milestone
