Summary
• OASIS is a member-lead consortium dedicated to building interoperability specifications
• Open, democratic, neutral member-driven technical process
• Successful in establishing relationships with other orgs; promoting interoperability
• Successful in converging competing efforts, completing work begun elsewhere
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
Overview• OASIS is a member-led consortium dedicated to
building systems interoperability specifications– Member-elected Board of Directors and Technical
Advisory Board– Member-driven standards process
• We focus on industry applications of structured information standards such as XML
• Members of OASIS are providers, users and specialists of standards-based technologies and include organizations, individuals and industry groups. – 300+ organizational members, ~275 individual members
• International, not-for-profit, open, independent• Successful through industry-wide collaboration
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
OASIS technical agenda
• The OASIS technical agenda is set by our members; bottom-up approach
• Technical committees formed by the proposal of our members; TC sets its own schedule and deliverables
• Member-elected Board of Directors and Technical Advisory Board
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
OASIS standards process
• Specifications are created under an open, democratic, vendor-neutral process– Any interested parties may either participate or comment– No one organization can dictate the specification– Ensures that specifications meet everyone’s needs, not just
largest players’
• All discussion open to public inspection and comment• Bi-level approval process
– TC approves Committee Specification– OASIS members approve OASIS Standard
• Resulting work is guaranteed to be representative of the industry as a whole, not just any one vendor’s view
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
OASIS relationships
• Promote cooperation and liaisons between OASIS TCs– No top-down agenda for which TCs will be
created; overlap possible, so emphasis on coordination
• Joint Committees provide forum for communication between TCs
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
OASIS relationships (cont.)
• Attempt to cooperate and liaise with other standards organizations as much as possible– Prevent duplication, promote
interoperability
– Gain sanction/authority for OASIS work
• Working relationships with– W3C, OMG, IDEAlliance, OAG, HL7,
CommerceNet, LISA, etc.
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
OASIS relationships (cont.)
• Formal relationships with– ISO/IEC/ITU/UN-ECE Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) for E-Business– ISO TC154, e-business standards (Category
A Liaison)– ISO/IEC JTC SC34, markup languages
(Category A Liaison)– ISO/IEC JTC SC6, security (Category A
Liaison)– ITU-T A.4 and A.5 Recognition
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
What OASIS Offers Its Members
• Opportunity to pursue technical work in a neutral environment– Buy-in and support from developers and
implementers
• Opportunity to set the technical agenda of a recognized industry standards organization– OASIS member-driven technical process
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
What OASIS Offers Industry
• Time to Market: bring your work here and avoid wasting time and effort setting up– Committee process– Infrastructure (web site, mail lists)– IPR policy and copyright protection– Program management– Marketing/Promotion– Anti-trust
• Use your technical expertise on technical work, not on setting up administrative overhead
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
What OASIS Offers Industry (cont.)• Opportunity for convergence
– Various OASIS TCs are the result of two or more industry groups or existing specs coming together under the neutral OASIS process
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
Progression/Approval of OASIS technical work
1. Any three or more OASIS members propose creation of a technical committee (TC)
2. Existing technical work submitted to TC; or TC starts work at the beginning. TC conducts and completes technical work; open and publicly viewable
3. TC votes to approve work as an OASIS Committee Specification
4. TC conducts public review, and three or more OASIS members implement the specification
5. TC votes to submit the Committee Specification to OASIS membership for consideration
6. OASIS membership reviews, approves the Committee Specification as an OASIS Standard

• Business Transaction Patterns– Actual specification of pre-defined combination of
business content and business processes for valid business transactions. The specs also describe rules needed to validate combination of specialize and universal business contents and processes.
• Business Transaction Instance– Particular instance of business transactions generated
between trading partners. Represents real binding of Business Content and Business Process. It includes complex business transactions that compose of several sub-business transactions represented as recursive Business Content and Business Process
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
Definitions (cont.)
• Business Content Format Definition– Business Content includes everything that composes the
payload of business transactions, which dictionary entries, composition of dictionary entries, special business documents, and attachments. Business Content Format Definition is the specification of the data structures, data types, constraints and code lists of all the items necessary to compose valid business content.
• Specialized Business Content– Industry- or supply chain-specific technical lexicon (terms,
properties, values, taxonomic structures) to be used to extend and specialize the Universal content to construct the content of an industry-specific business document.
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
Definitions (cont.)
• Universal Business Content– Specifies business terminology and accepted values that
may be universally used in business messages that support a broad range of industries, business models and locales; the vocabulary used to construct the business content of a message. This content covers many domains of discourse, such as product, materials management, finance, quality.
– Note the distinction between "universal" and "specialized" is relative and could change over time and situation. The purpose of this distinction to drive reuse and achieve manageability and economies of scales.
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
Definitions (cont.)
• Universal Business Process– Specifies business processes that are applicable to a
broad range of businesses, regardless of the vertical industry or locale within which the business operates or of the specific characteristics of the business. These processes cover many domains of activity that businesses engage in, such as collaborative product development, request for quote, supply chain execution, purchasing, and manufacturing.
– Note the distinction between "universal" and "specialized" is relative and could change over time and situation. The purpose of this distinction to drive reuse and achieve manageability and economies of scales.
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
Definitions (cont.)
• Specialized Business Process– Specifies business processes that are
not Universally applicable but instead are specific to a business operating within a specific industry or supply chain (such as Electronic Components, Pharmaceuticals, Automotive), and locales or business models.
Copyright © OASIS Open, 2003
Definitions (cont.)
