OASIS Standards & Releases

Chances are you’ve been touched by at least one of our standards over the last 24 hours. Our members produce work that defines how the internet exchanges information.

Approved: 23 Apr 2020

OData enables the creation and consumption of REST-based data services which allow resources, identified using Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and defined in a data model, to be published and edited by Web clients using simple HTTP messages. OData helps create a more open, programmable Web, and simplifies the querying and sharing of data across applications for re-use in the enterprise, cloud, and mobile devices.

Messaging

Approved: 09 Jul 2018

Universal Business Language Version 2.2

e-Business

Approved: 05 Sep 2019

Exchange Header Envelope (XHE) Version 1.0

Defines a business-oriented artefact either referencing (as a header) or containing (as an envelope) a payload of one or more business documents or other artefacts with supplemental semantic information about the collection of payloads as a whole. This is distinct from any transport-layer infrastructure header or envelope that may be required to propagate documents from one system to another. An exchange header envelope describes contextual information important to the sender and receiver about the payloads, without having to modify the payloads in any fashion.
