Balloting Opens for BCM, SPML, and WSRF as OASIS Standards
Consortium members are requested to vote on three
specifications that have been put forth for consideration as
OASIS Standards. BCM
v1.0 defines methods to acquire interoperable e-business
information systems within communities of interest. Service
Provisioning
Markup Language (SPML) v2.0 provides an XML framework for
managing the provisioning and allocation of identity
information and
system resources within and between organizations. WSRF v1.2
defines an open framework for modeling and accessing
stateful resources
using Web services. Balloting for the three specifications
closes 31 March.
