Expository Work Produced by the Committee

An interoperability demo on December 10 at IDEAlliance's XML 2003 conference demonstrated a number of OASIS and ebXML standards in action. The scenario used simulated an influenza outbreak and how the technology was used to provide early warning and improve response. Presentation materials are available: Interoperability Demo.

The OASIS ebXML Registry TC held an open webinar event on September 15, 2005 to help developers understand more about how ebXML Registry enables secure, federated information management within and across enterprises. The presentation included an overview of ebXML Registry v3.0 key features, and details on production implementations. A Q&A session with members of the OASIS ebXML Registry TC was included in the event. The presentation materials are available for download OASIS ebXML Registry Webinar
