OASIS Events

This conference is for users. It is about addressing the technical innovations that are needed as structured documentation makes major inroads in this industry. By combining both the technical ideas of DITA and XML with the publishing tools related to technical communications, in four focused days you'll get the solutions you need to publish faster, smarter, and better. Come join us for what has been described in a recent STC article as an "anti-conference", an event focused on users with real technical needs. Our conference provides access to real users, real experts, and real answers. OASIS member discount is available.

This 10th event in The Standards Edge conference series will focus on how procurement policies and practices will and should affect the future of information and communications technology (ICT) and your ability to access and share information. It is critical to address these issues now as governments, businesses, and citizens build the ICT infrastructure that will become integral to the way we learn, communicate, conduct business, and deliver social services. Issues such as how government organizations should leverage ICT standardization in procurement, what involvement the WTO and WIPO should have in international procurement guidelines, and how these decisions may impact market competition will be addressed. Please join us on November 6-7, 2008, in Brussels, Belgium for this highly interactive event.

This Workshop will provide a forum for implementors of CAP and associated international organizations to discuss coordination on key issues, together with the private sector engaged in emergency management and warning systems. This Workshop is a successor to the "Workshop and Demonstration of Advances in ICT Standards for Public Warning" held October 19-20, 2006 at ITU. A report of that workshop may be found at: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/worksem/ictspw , as well as slide presentations at: http://www.oasis-open.org/events/ITU-T-OASISWorkshop2006/proceedings.php.
