| | Define OASIS - a Whatis.com definition - see also: Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards |
 | | OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) is a nonprofit, international consortium whose goal is to promote the adoption of product-independent standards for information formats such as Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), Extensible Markup Language (XML), and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). | | | The goal of OASIS is not to create structured information standards for XML, but to provide a forum for discussion, to promote the adoption of interoperability standards, and to recommend ways members can provide better interoperability for their users. | | | Currently, OASIS (formerly known as SGML Open) is working to bring together competitors and industry standards groups with conflicting perspectives to discuss using XML as a common Web language that can be shared across applications and platforms. |

| | Given the problems end-user organizations have experienced developing and maintaining portal "gadget" script collections to achieve information and application integration at the portal, the OASIS effort to define a standards-based approach to service provisioning seems logical, inevitable and, certainly, welcome. | | | OASIS, with over 400 members in 100 countries, is co-sponsor of ebXML, the prominent framework for global, electronic exchange of business information, and of other web-related standards. | | | OASIS technical committees such as the Web Services Interactive Applications (WSIA) Technical Committee will coordinate closely with WSRP to optimize reuse and compatibility with existing standards and structures. |

| | XML.com: A Scalable Process for Information Standards |
| | OASIS, the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards, is a nonprofit corporation founded in 1993 whose already open and formal process has recently been revised to speed it up and implement some procedures electronically [1]. | | | A number of factors have been combined to accomplish these goals: a reliance on self-organization and the oversight of interested parties; an innovative use of technology for formal standards development; and a fallback to majority rule that drives the process forward even when called upon to resolve major differences of opinion. | | | OASIS provides the electronic and organizational infrastructure for TCs, but it does not in the general case contribute resources, track different initiatives, or make policy; that comes from the "interested parties" who stand to benefit from the work. |
