Announcements
The CAM team is pleased to announce that the OASIS CAM V1.1 specifications are now approved as OASIS standard Specifications according to the OASIS approved process.
Overview
The vision of the CAM work is for describing machine-processable information content flows into and out of XML structures so as to normalize the semantic dispersion between information points and the associated processing systems. The purpose of the OASIS CAM TC is to provide such a generalized assembly mechanism using templates of business transaction content and the associated rules. These templates augment and enhance schema structure definitions with context driven business rules so that accurate information content can be produced consistently. The CAM approach also integrates with metadata semantics and particularly with registry storage of vocabularies of metadata. A compliant CAM processor is thereby able to provide documentation of information exchange formats, validation of transaction instances and runtime creation of valid
transaction documents.
An executive brochure is available that explains CAM in more detail and provides a technology overview. A technology overview presentation on creating CAM templates is also available.

Additional Information
To find out more about our work you can download the
CAM technical brochure, and there are also more examples, presentations and papers available from our documents area - all comments welcome.
The open source jCAM processor is also available from the project site and a editor tool for rapidly creating CAM Templates is available that integrates with jCAM.
Samples and test files for jCAM are also available from our documents area..
The jCAM processor works as an XML validator runtime system using these samples and test files.
