Public review begins for Production Planning and Scheduling

The OASIS PPS TC has approved version 1.0 of PPS as a
Committee Draft and
submitted it for public review. Comprised of three parts,
PPS identifies core
elements for composing XML documents for planning and
scheduling in
manufacturing industries. It also specifies transaction
messages and profiles
for each industrial context. The review ends 21 Oct.

TC forms OASIS DITA Help Subcommittee
New work has begun to develop a top-level design for
authoring of Help systems
and user assistance content for implementation using DITA.
An approved OASIS
Standard for document creation and management, DITA builds
content reuse into
the authoring process. The OASIS DITA Help Subcommittee aims
to make
recommendations on the integration of DITA-authored Help
systems and software
applications using context-sensitivity. The group will also
establish best
practice guidelines. The subcommittee, chaired by Anthony
Self, welcomes new
participation. Those involved in tool development with
expertise in Help
systems are especially encouraged to contribute to this
effort.

bond Forum will feature Election Markup Language (EML)
InterOp
This year's Open Standards Forum, hosted by OASIS and the
Butler Group, will
feature an EML interoperability demonstration by members of
the OASIS Election
& Voter Services TC. Used in both public and private
organisations, the EML
OASIS Standard extends to all aspects of the election
process and has been
adopted by hardware, software,
and service providers. Attendees of the Open Standards Forum
will participate
in a mock election, which will show how EML can be used in a
multi-channel
e-voting ballot involving several suppliers.
