Public review for #WS-Calendar Minimal PIM-Conformant Schema V1.0 – ends February 18th
The OASIS Web Services Calendar (WS-Calendar) TC [1] members have recently approved a Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted it for 30-day public review:
WS-Calendar Minimal PIM-Conformant Schema Version 1.0
Committee Specification Draft 01 / Public Review Draft 01
18 December 2015
Overview:
The WS-Calendar MIN is a WS-Calendar conformant schema optimized for use in machine-to-machine (M2M) schedule negotiations.
iCalendar (RFC5545) and its peer specification XCAL (also in WS-Calendar 1.0) is a well-known and long used means to convey schedule-related information. iCalendar makes extensive use of extension and recursion. The WS-Calendar Platform Independent Model (PIM) constrains iCalendar and defines a simpler information model which shares iCalendar semantics and can be used to create as the common basis for any number of Platform Specific Models (PSMs).
Because an information model is abstract, it can apply to many transmission and serialization schemas. The PIM itself does not include a transmission and serialization schema. Through transitive conformance such PSMs themselves conform to WS-Calendar. The Minimal PIM-Conformant (MIN) schema defines an XML Schema that conforms just with the PIM. MIN can be used by itself or as a seed-schema for other specifications.
