OASIS NEWS

Welcome to OASIS News, a weekly update of announcements, accomplishments,

and activities for the international standards consortium.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

UDDI and XACML Approved as OASIS Standards

Both the UDDI v3.0.2 and the XACML v2.0 specifications have been voted on

and approved as OASIS Standards. The UDDI v3.0.2 specification, developed by

the OASIS Universal Description, Discovery and Integration TC, serves to

define a registry service for Web services and for other electronic and

non-electronic services. The XACML v2.0 specification, which was developed

by the OASIS eXtensible Access Control Markup Language TC, defines a

standard access control policy language. The TC members and chairs are to be

congratulated on their work in developing and approving these

specifications.

Sponsor OASIS Symposium

Duel sponsorship opportunities are still available for the upcoming

OASIS Symposium and OASIS Adoption Forum. OASIS relies on these

sponsorships to provide funding necessary to maintain affordable meeting

fees, ensuring the widest possible level of participation. Sponsors also

underwrite the cost of OASIS Committee meetings, allowing members to

collaborate face-to-face and Committees to interact with one another. If

you are able to support OASIS as a Dual Event Sponsor, please contact

 or complete the online OASIS Event Sponsorship

Request Form.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Posting Company News to XML.org

One of the benefits of OASIS Sponsor membership is the ability to distribute

company news and announcements via the XML.org web site. Press releases and

other information sent by Sponsors to the OASIS "announce" mailing list will

be automatically posted on the XML.org homepage, linked to the member's web

site. Members must be subscribed to the OASIS PR Group to post to announce.
