OASIS is pleased to announce the approval and publication of an OASIS Committee Note (CN) by the members of the OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC [1]:

DITA 1.3: Why Three Editions? Version 1.0
Committee Note 01
17 November 2015

Overview:

DITA 1.3, the most recent OASIS Standard, is distributed in three editions to better serve the needs of specific user communities:

– Core DITA
– Technical content
– Learning, training, and instructional design

OASIS is pleased to announce the publication of its newest OASIS Standard, approved by the members on 17 December 2015:

Overview:

The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) v1.3 specification defines both a) a set of document types for authoring and organizing topic-oriented information; and b) a set of mechanisms for combining, extending, and constraining document types.

Version 1.3 is organized in three parts called Editions. Each is optimized for a different audience:

– The Base Edition is designed for application developers and users who need only the most fundamental pieces of the DITA framework.

– The Technical Content Edition includes specializations usually used by technical communicators.

– The All Inclusive Edition is the largest edition. It is designed for implementers who want all OASIS-approved specializations, as well as users who develop learning and training materials.

The OASIS Electronic Identity Credential Trust Elevation Methods (Trust Elevation) TC [1] members have recently approved a Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted it for 30-day public review:

Authentication Step-Up Protocol and Metadata Version 1.0
Committee Specification Draft 01 / Public Review Draft 01
12 November 2015

Overview:

Electronic Identity Credential Trust Elevation Methods are used to increase assurance in entity identification using authentication events and related entity information for the purpose of risk mitigation when making access control policy decisions.
The goals of this Fourth Deliverable are:
· To propose simple Trust Elevation architectural patterns demonstrating the use of Trust Elevation in modern Access Control architectures.
· To describe a common metadata set, mechanisms and protocol elements for Trust Elevation information exchanges.
· To promote the use of Trust Elevation elements to facilitate standardization among the many technologies and approaches currently in use for credential & authentication risk mitigation.

TC Description:

The OASIS Trust Elevation TC works to define a set of standardized protocols that service providers may use to elevate the trust in an electronic identity credential presented to them for authentication. The Trust Elevation TC is intended to respond to suggestions from the public sector, including the U.S. National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC). The Trust Elevation TC promotes interoperability among multiple identity providers–and among multiple identity federations and frameworks–by facilitating clear communication about common and comparable operations to present, evaluate and apply identity [data/assertions] to sets of declared authorization levels.

For more information, see the TC Charter and FAQ.

Public Review Period:

The public review starts 22 December 2015 at 23:59 GMT and ends 21 January 2016 at 23:59 GMT.

This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.

— Information about the Candidate OASIS Standard and the DITA TC —

The purpose of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee (TC) is to define and maintain the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) and to promote the use of the architecture for creating standard information types and domain-specific markup vocabularies.

The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) v1.3 specification defines both a) a set of document types for authoring and organizing topic-oriented information; and b) a set of mechanisms for combining, extending, and constraining document types.

This release of DITA comes in three parts called Editions, optimized for different audiences:

– The Base Edition is designed for application developers and users who need only the most fundamental pieces of the DITA framework.

– The Technical Content Edition includes specializations usually used by technical communicators.

– The All Inclusive Edition is the largest edition. It is designed for implementers who want all OASIS-approved specializations, as well as users who develop learning and training materials.

— Information about the Candidate OASIS Standard —

This Candidate OASIS Standard defines an open XML protocol (XMILE) for the sharing, interoperability, and reuse of System Dynamics models and simulations.

System Dynamics is an interactive environment for simulating the impact of policy on complex ecosystems. The benefits of this standard are:

* System Dynamics models can be re-used with Big Data sets to show how different policies produce different outcomes in complex environments.

* Models can be stored in cloud-based libraries, shared within and between organizations, and used to communicate different outcomes with common vocabulary.

* Model components can be re-used and plugged into other simulations.

* It allows the creation of online repositories modeling many common business decisions.

* It increases acceptance and use of System Dynamics as a discipline.

* It helps ISVs make new tools that help businesses to develop and understand models and simulations.

* It enables vendors to develop standards-based applications for new markets such as mobile and social media.

OASIS is pleased to announce the approval and publication of a new Committee Specification by the members of the OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC:

OData Extension for Data Aggregation Version 4.0
Committee Specification 02
04 November 2015

Overview:

This specification adds basic grouping and aggregation functionality (e.g. sum, min, and max) to the Open Data Protocol (OData) without changing any of the base principles of OData.

Description of the TC:

The OASIS OData TC works to simplify the querying and sharing of data across disparate applications and multiple stakeholders for re-use in the enterprise, Cloud, and mobile devices. A REST-based protocol, OData builds on HTTP, AtomPub, and JSON using URIs to address and access data feed resources. It enables information to be accessed from a variety of sources including (but not limited to) relational databases, file systems, content management systems, and traditional Web sites. OData provides a way to break down data silos and increase the shared value of data by creating an ecosystem in which data consumers can interoperate with data producers in a way that is far more powerful than currently possible, enabling more applications to make sense of a broader set of data. Every producer and consumer of data that participates in this ecosystem increases its overall value.

Members of the OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC [1] approved this specification by Special Majority Vote. The specification had been released for public review as required by the TC Process [2]. The vote to approve as a Committee Specification passed [3], and the document is now available online in the OASIS Library as referenced above.

Our congratulations to the TC on achieving this milestone and our thanks to the reviewers who provided feedback on the specification drafts to help improve the quality of the work.
