Boston, MA, USA-November 29, 1999--OASIS, the Organization for the Advancement
of Structured Information Standards, today announced that Craig Chevrier has
joined the consortium as managing editor of XML.org. In this new position, Chevrier
will drive editorial strategy and content for XML.org, the industry portal that
provides vendor-neutral information about the application of XML in industrial
and commercial settings.
"My primary focus will be to broaden the content of XML.org so it continues
to be a place where the industry turns for objective XML information," said
Chevrier. "ebXML, the joint initiative headed by OASIS and the United Nations
to develop a global electronic business XML framework, is one example of the
kind of exciting, cross-industry work that XML.org will showcase."
Chevrier brings extensive experience in web site production and editing to
his position at OASIS. Most recently, he served as internet content manager
for Trans World Entertainment, the largest music retailer in the United States.
At Trans World, Chevrier led several XML implementations on www.TWEC.com, the company's online retail and entertainment
site. "Craig will coordinate a team of internal and external resources
to develop and procure informative, relevant content for XML.org," added Laura
Walker, executive director of OASIS. "He will also act as an advocate for the
portal, raising awareness of the site as an independent, valuable resource for
anyone interested in the application of XML."
