OASIS Members Advance Service Oriented Architecture Based on ebXML and Web Services.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 7, 2004 Members of the international standards consortium, OASIS, announced plans to advance an electronic business architecture that builds on ebXML and other Web services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term. technology. The new OASIS Electronic Business Service Oriented Architecture (ebSOA) Technical Committee will use ebXML Technical Architecture v1.04 as a starting point Noun 1. starting point - earliest limiting point terminus a quo commencement, get-go, offset, outset, showtime, starting time, beginning, start, kickoff, first - the time at which something is supposed to begin; "they got an early start"; "she knew from the for describing a service-oriented architecture See SOA. and practical implementation techniques that take into account the ebXML OASIS Standards (recently approved as ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 15000), as well as recent developments from other OASIS technical committees and standards bodies Following are some of the standards bodies defined in this database. For Windows users of CDE, look up Lessons/Review/Associations. For Web users of CDE's online HTML version, review the Lessons list at the bottom of the definition. Organization Covers ANSI U.S. . "When the ebXML architecture was first conceived, the term 'web services' hadn't even been coined," recalled Charles Abrams, senior analyst at Gartner. "Now, many of the ebXML layers have been reconciled to embrace core World Wide Web Consortium (W3C (World Wide Web Consortium, www.w3.org) An international industry consortium founded in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee to develop standards for the Web. It is hosted in the U.S. by the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT (www.csail.mit.edu/index.php). ) technology, such as WSDL (Web Services Description Language) An XML-based language for defining Web services. Developed by Microsoft and IBM, WSDL describes the protocols and formats used by the service. and SOAP. OASIS and its member organizations will build momentum for ebXML by articulating how the standards fit into the emerging service-oriented architectures that users need to stay competitive in their IT efforts." Duane Nickull of Adobe Systems Adobe Systems Incorporated (pronounced a-DOE-bee IPA: /əˈdoʊbiː/) (NASDAQ: ADBE) (LSE: ABS) is an American computer software company headquartered in San Jose, California, USA. , convener and proposed chair of the OASIS ebSOA Technical Committee, explained, "A modern service-oriented architecture is core to enabling enterprises to efficiently integrate and distribute business processes across multiple systems with reliability and security. The OASIS ebSOA Technical Committee will explore how various ebXML and web service components work together as a cohesive system. This work is essential to every enterprise." "The adopter's picture of a 'complete' set of modular services is far more expansive and addresses greater functionalities than were contemplated in the original ebXML architecture," added Karl Best Karl Best was born on Friday, March 6, 1959, in Aberdeen, Washington. Best was 24 years old when he broke into the big leagues on August 19, 1983, with the Seattle Mariners. Best played for the Mariners from 1983 until 1986 wearing uniform # 39. , vice president of OASIS. "Participants in this new OASIS Technical Committee intend to map this broader area and provide examples and best practices that will make the implementer's job a lot easier." Members of the OASIS ebSOA Technical Committee include Adobe Systems, The Boeing Company, Booz Allen Hamilton Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc., referred to as Booz Allen is one of the oldest strategy consulting firms in the world.[1] The firm formerly had two consulting divisions: WCB (Worldwide Commercial Business, also known as “The Commercial Side”) and WTB , Commerce One, Cyclone Commerce, and others. The group will hold its first meeting on April 29, following the OASIS Symposium on Reliable Infrastructures in New Orleans New Orleans (ôr`lēənz –lənz, ôrlēnz`), city (2006 pop. 187,525), coextensive with Orleans parish, SE La., between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, 107 mi (172 km) by water from the river mouth; founded . Committee participation remains open to all organizations and individuals. OASIS will also host a mail list for public comment on ebSOA. "Service oriented architectures are playing an increasingly important role in allowing government agencies and private companies to respond more quickly to changing business needs," said Joseph Chiusano, senior consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton. "We believe that exposing application functionality to other systems as services through a component based approach--with 'commoditized' parts--will lead to more flexible business operating environments for our clients." About OASIS OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) is a not-for-profit, global 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. OASIS produces worldwide standards for security, Web services, conformance, business transactions, electronic publishing, topic maps and interoperability within and between marketplaces.
