Dear TC members: Based on the input from your TCs and the assumptions noted below, we expect shortly to send the current final OASIS ebXML specs listed below to ISO TC154 for ISO approval: AS4 Profile of ebMS 3.0 v1.0 ebXML Business Process Specification Schema Technical Specification v2.0.4 ebXML Messaging Services v3.0: Part 1, Core Features ebXML RegRep v4.0 Note this assumes, as we have been informed is the case, that: -- The ebXML Core, MS and RegRep TCs did complete their formal action to approve the submission. -- The documents will be transmitted in their OASIS Standard format and will be acceptable to ISO in format. -- TC Admin has been satisfied that the interoperability demo requirement for those specs has been met by prior activity. Please advise us of any comments or corrections, as we otherwise plan to transmit the package to ISO TC 154 shortly, upon confirmation of the foregoing. Thanks for your attention. Cordially, Jamie Clark (draft) OASIS Liaison Statement to ISO TC 154 OASIS ebXML specifications, updating ISO TS 15000. March __, 2013 OASIS respectfully submits the following four attached versions of the Electronic Business XML (ebXML) specifications, each of which has been approved by its authoring OASIS committee for submission for approval as an ISO Standard: 1. ebXML RegRep v4.0 (2012) OASIS approval:
https://www.oasis-open.org/standards#ebxmlregrepv4.0 Updates: ISO/TS 15000-3:2004 ("ebRIM") and ISO/TS 15000-4:2004 ("ebRS"). The new version 4 consolidates and replaces both the ebRIM and ebRS specifications. We recommend this new specification be numbered as 15000-4:2013 if approved. 2. ebXML Messaging Services v3.0 ("ebMS 3.0"), Core Features (2007) OASIS approval:
https://www.oasis-open.org/standards#ebxmlmsgv3 Updates: ISO/TS 15000-2:2004 ("ebMS 2.0"). We recommend this specification be numbered as 15000-2:2013 if approved. We note that additional work on Part 2 of ebMS v3.0 may be ready for submission in the future. 3. AS4 Profile v1.0 of ebMS 3.0 v1.0 (2013) OASIS approval:
https://www.oasis-open.org/standards#as4profilev1.0 New profile related to ISO/TS 15000-2:2004. We recommend this specification be numbered as 15000-3:2013 (or 15000-7 if the re-use of the number from vacated part 3 is inappropriate), if approved. 4. ebXML Business Process Specification Schema Technical Specification v2.0.4 (2006) OASIS approval:
https://www.oasis-open.org/standards#ebxmlbpv2.0.4 New specification from the original ebXML v1.0 stack, not previously submitted to ISO. We recommend this specification be numbered as 15000-6:2013, using the part number originally reserved for it, if approved. . Also attached is a copy of our current IPR declaration information with respect to each of the foregoing. Please note that Part 1 of the ebXML standards, 15000-1 (Collaborative Partner Profile Agreement) has not been revised, and continues in production use in the form approved as TS 15000-1:2004. Please note that Part 5 of the ebXML standards, 15000-5 (Core Components) , is maintained by UN/CEFACT. OASIS respectfully suggests that the four new submissions, and existing TS 15000-1:2004, are stable final versions that should qualify for approval as International Standards. Thank you for your consideration. OASIS values and appreciates its long-time constructive collaboration with ISO, on this and a number of other open standards promoting interoperability and the global information society.
