Subject: Membership and Public Review of OASIS Artifact Standard Identification Scheme for Metadata
OASIS Members: The OASIS Technical Advisory Board (TAB) has asked that the OASIS membership and the public review its OASIS Artifact Standard Identification Scheme for Metadata and provide comments during the period ending 1 March 2006 (details below). This document, approved by the TAB, proposes rules for how OASIS artifacts (e.g. specifications, schemas, WSDL) are named, what metadata must be associated with each artifact, consistent filenames and persistent (and consistent) URIs for artifacts (incorporating some of the required metadata), and updates to the OASIS URN spaces. This work furthers goals for consistent naming, persistent URIs, and the efficiency of data and document management across OASIS. Many of the recommendations are already in effect, e.g. in the current document templates. Others are guidance for work in progress, e.g. persistent URIs for accessing OASIS artifacts. Please carefully consider the proposed requirements, as their implementation will facilitate pending improvements in OASIS document management, process automation, and expression of namespaces. While this document is written as a set of requirements, the use of this document is recommended and not mandated. After this second General Membership review in February 2006, we expect that the OASIS Technical Advisory Board will approve a future version as a contribution to ongoing OASIS policy discussions. Earlier versions of this document, under various names, have been circulated to the OASIS Chairs email list and (as the "Artifact Identification Requirements") went through a General Membership Review cycle in July 2005. The package for this General Membership Review includes (1) This cover letter (2) The document ArtifactStandardIdentificationSchemeForMetadata-v1.0.1.pdf: at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/16546/ArtifactStandardIdentificationSchemeForMetadata-1.0.1.pdf (3) A spreadsheet listing comments and responses from the July 2005 review: at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/16547/ArtifactStandardIdentificationSchemeForMetadata%20Public%20Review%20Resolutions.pdf Discussion will take place, and comments will be taken from, the oasis-member-discuss list; to send to that list and to receive real-time emails, please apply to join the list(login as a member, select All Groups, scroll down to OASIS Member Discuss, and click the "Join Group" link. There is no waiting period. Comments will be considered through those received on March 1, 2006, midnight US Eastern Standard Time. Thank you for your consideration of these important issues.
